Titus 3:3-7

3For we ourselves also were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

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

5Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit;

6Whom he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;2

7That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
