Titus 3

Read the chapter

¹Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, ✦ ²to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. ✦ ³For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. ✦ ⁴But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, ✦ ⁵not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, ✦ ⁶whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, ✦ ⁷that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. ✦ ⁸This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men. ✦ ⁹But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. ✦ ¹⁰Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, ✦ ¹¹knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned. ✦ ¹²When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there. ✦ ¹³Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey with haste, that they may lack nothing. ✦ ¹⁴And let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful. ✦ ¹⁵All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen. ✦
