Titus 3

From Textus Receptus

• 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 our's 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.
