Titus 3:1

Titus 3:2 to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all men.

Titus 3:3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by men and hating one another;

Titus 3:4 but when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared,

Titus 3:5 he saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit,

Titus 3:6 which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

Titus 3:7 so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life.

Titus 3:8 The saying is sure. I desire you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to apply themselves to good deeds; these are excellent and profitable to men.

Titus 3:9 But avoid stupid controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels over the law, for they are unprofitable and futile.

Titus 3:10 As for a man who is factious, after admonishing him once or twice, have nothing more to do with him,

Titus 3:11 knowing that such a person is perverted and sinful; he is self-condemned.

Titus 3:12 When I send Artemas or Tych'icus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicop'olis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.

Titus 3:13 Do your best to speed Zenas the lawyer and Apol'los on their way; see that they lack nothing.

Titus 3:14 And let our people learn to apply themselves to good deeds, so as to help cases of urgent need, and not to be unfruitful.

Titus 3:15 All who are with me send greetings to you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.
