Titus 3:2-7

2to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, [to be] mild, shewing all meekness towards all men.

3For we were once ourselves also without intelligence, disobedient, wandering in error, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, [and] hating one another.

4But when the kindness and love to man of our Saviour 1God appeared,

5not on the principle of works which [have been done] in righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy he saved us through [the] washing of regeneration and renewal of [the] Holy Spirit,

6which he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

7that, having been justified by his grace, we should become heirs according to [the] hope of eternal life.
