Titus 3

Read the chapter

¹Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, ✦ ²To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. ✦ ³For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. ✦ ⁴But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, ✦ ⁵Not 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; ✦ ⁶Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; ✦ ⁷That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. ✦ ⁸This 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. ✦ ⁹But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. ✦ ¹⁰A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; ✦ ¹¹Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. ✦ ¹²When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter. ✦ ¹³Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them. ✦ ¹⁴And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful. ✦ ¹⁵All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen. ✦
