Titus 3

1PutG5293 them in mind to beG1510 in subjectionG5293 to rulersG746, to authoritiesG1849, to beG1510 obedientG3980, to beG1510 readyG2092 unto every goodG18 workG2041, 2to speak evil of no manG444, not to beG1510 contentious, to beG1510 gentleG1933, showingG1731 all meekness toward all menG444. 3For we alsoG2532 onceG4218 wereG1510 foolishG453, disobedientG545, deceivedG4105, servingG1398 divers lustsG1939 and pleasures, living in maliceG2549 and envyG5355, hateful, hatingG3404 oneG240 another. 4But whenG3753 the kindnessG5544 of GodG2316 our Saviour, and his love toward man, appearedG2014, 5not by worksG2041 done in righteousnessG1343, which we did ourselves, but accordingG2596 to his mercyG1656 he savedG4982 us, through the washingG3067 of regenerationG3824 and renewingG342 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151, 6which he poured out upon us richlyG4146, through JesusG2424 ChristG5547 our Saviour; 7that, being justifiedG1344 by his graceG5485, we might be made heirsG2818 accordingG2596 to the hopeG1680 of eternalG166 lifeG2222. 8FaithfulG4103 isG1510 the sayingG3056, and concerningG4012 these thingsG3778 I desire that thou affirm confidently, to the end that they who have believedG4100 GodG2316 may beG1510 careful to maintain goodG2570 worksG2041. These thingsG3778 areG1510 goodG2570 and profitableG5624 unto menG444: 9but shun foolishG3474 questionings, and genealogiesG1076, and strifes, and fightings about the law; for they areG1510 unprofitable and vain. 10A factious manG444 after a firstG1520 and secondG1208 admonition refuseG3868; 11knowing that such a oneG3588 isG1510 perverted, and sinneth, beingG1510 self-condemned.

12WhenG3752 I shall sendG3992 Artemas unto thee, or TychicusG5190, give diligence to comeG2064 unto me to Nicopolis: for there I have determined to winterG3914. 13Set forward Zenas the lawyerG3544 and ApollosG625 on their journey diligently, that nothingG3367 be wanting unto them. 14And let our people alsoG2532 learnG3129 to maintain goodG2570 worksG2041 for necessaryG316 uses, that they beG1510 not unfruitfulG175.

15All that are with me salute thee. Salute them that loveG5368 us in faithG4102.

GraceG5485 be with you all.
