Titus 3:1-8

1Remind the people to be submitted to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed,

2to slander no one, without fighting, gentle, showing every courtesy to all people.

3For we also once were foolish, disobedient, deluded, enslaved to various desires and pleasures, spending our lives in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.

4But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared—

5not by deeds of righteousness which we had done ourselves, but because of His mercy— He saved us through the mikveh of rebirth and renewing of the Ruach ha-Kodesh,

6whom He abundantly poured out on us through Messiah Yeshua our Savior,

7so that being set right by His grace, we might become heirs with the confident hope of eternal life!

8Trustworthy is the saying, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have put their trust in God may be careful to devote themselves to good deeds. These things are good and beneficial for people.
