ASV Titus Chapter 3
3:1 Put them in mind to be in subjection to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready unto every good work, 3:2 to speak evil of no man, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all meekness toward all men. 3:3 For we also once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. 3:4 But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, appeared, 3:5 not by works done in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 3:6 which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 3:7 that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 3:8 Faithful is the saying, and concerning these things I desire that thou affirm confidently, to the end that they who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men: 3:9 but shun foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strifes, and fightings about law; for they are unprofitable and vain. 3:10 A factious man after a first and second admonition refuse; 3:11 knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned. 3:12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, give diligence to come unto me to Nicopolis: for there I have determined to winter. 3:13 Set forward Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them. 3:14 And let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful. 3:15 All that are with me salute thee. Salute them that love us in faith. Grace be with you all.
