Titus 3:7-15

7As a result, God in his kindness  has given us his approval and we have become heirs who have the confidence that we have everlasting life.

8This is a statement that can be trusted. I want you to insist on these things so that those who believe in God can concentrate on setting an example by doing good things. This is good and helps other people.

9Avoid foolish controversies, arguments about genealogies, quarrels, and fights about Moses’ Teachings. This is useless and worthless.

10Have nothing to do with people who continue to teach false doctrine after you have warned them once or twice.

11You know that people like this are corrupt. They are sinners condemned by their own actions.

12When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, hurry to visit me in the city of Nicopolis. I have decided to spend the winter there.

13Give Zenas the lawyer and Apollos your best support for their trip so that they will have everything they need.

14Our people should also learn how to set an example by doing good things when urgent needs arise so that they can live productive lives.

15Everyone with me sends you greetings. Greet our faithful friends. ⌞God’s⌟ good will  be with all of you.
