Titus 3:7-15

7Because of his grace he made us right in his sight and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life.

8This is a trustworthy saying, and I want you to insist on these teachings so that all who trust in God will devote themselves to doing good. These teachings are good and beneficial for everyone.

9Do not get involved in foolish discussions about spiritual pedigrees or in quarrels and fights about obedience to Jewish laws. These things are useless and a waste of time.

10If people are causing divisions among you, give a first and second warning. After that, have nothing more to do with them.

11For people like that have turned away from the truth, and their own sins condemn them.

12I am planning to send either Artemas or Tychicus to you. As soon as one of them arrives, do your best to meet me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to stay there for the winter.

13Do everything you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos with their trip. See that they are given everything they need.

14Our people must learn to do good by meeting the urgent needs of others; then they will not be unproductive.

15Everybody here sends greetings. Please give my greetings to the believers—all who love us. May God’s grace be with you all.
