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