Titus Chapter 3 (Index)

001  Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

002  To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness unto all men.

003  For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

004  But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,

005  Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

006  Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

007  That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

008  This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

009  But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

010  A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject;

011  Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

012  When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.

013  Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.

014  And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.

015  All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
