Titus 3:4-8

4But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love for mankind appeared,

5he saved us  —not by works of righteousness that we had done, but according to his mercy  — through the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.

6He poured out his Spirit on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior

7so that, having been justified by his grace, we may become heirs with the hope of eternal life.

8This saying is trustworthy. I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed God might be careful to devote themselves to good works. These are good and profitable for everyone.
