Titus 3

1 Put them in mind to be in subjection to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready unto every good work,ASV — Titus 3:1

2 to speak evil of no man, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all meekness toward all men.ASV — Titus 3:2

3 For we also once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.ASV — Titus 3:3

4 But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, appeared,ASV — Titus 3:4

5 not by works [done] in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,ASV — Titus 3:5

6 which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour;ASV — Titus 3:6

7 that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.ASV — Titus 3:7

8 Faithful is the saying, and concerning these things I desire that thou affirm confidently, to the end that they who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men:ASV — Titus 3:8

9 but shun foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strifes, and fightings about law; for they are unprofitable and vain.ASV — Titus 3:9

10 A factious man after a first and second admonition refuse;ASV — Titus 3:10

11 knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned.ASV — Titus 3:11

12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, give diligence to come unto me to Nicopolis: for there I have determined to winter.ASV — Titus 3:12

13 Set forward Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.ASV — Titus 3:13

14 And let our [people] also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.ASV — Titus 3:14

15 All that are with me salute thee. Salute them that love us in faith. Grace be with you all.ASV — Titus 3:15
