Titus 3
1
Admonish them to be subject to princes and powers, to obey at a word, to be ready
to every good work.
2
To speak evil of no man, not to be litigious, but gentle: shewing all mildness towards
all men.
3
For we ourselves also were some time unwise, incredulous, erring, slaves to divers
desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4
But when the goodness and kindness of God our Savior appeared:
5
Not by the works of justice, which we have done, but according to his mercy, he saved
us, by the laver of regeneration, and renovation of the Holy Ghost;
6
Whom he hath poured forth upon us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Savior:
7
That, being justified by his grace, we may be heirs, according to hope of life everlasting.
8
It is a faithful saying: and these things I will have thee affirm constantly: that
they, who believe in God, may be careful to excel in good works. These things are
good and profitable unto men.
9
But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about
the law. For they are unprofitable and vain.
10
A man that is a heretic, after the first and second admonition, avoid:
11
Knowing that he, that is such an one, is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned by
his own judgment.
12
When I shall send to thee Artemas or Tychicus, make haste to come unto me to Nicopolis.
For there I have determined to winter.
13
Send forward Zenas, the lawyer, and Apollo, with care, that nothing be wanting to
them.
14
And let our men also learn to excel in good works for necessary uses: that they be
not unfruitful.
15
All that are with me salute thee: salute them that love us in the faith. The grace
of God be with you all. Amen.
