Titus 3

3:1Remind them! to submit to sovereignties and authorities, to yield obedience, to be prepared for every good work,

3:2to no one blaspheme, to not be quarrelsome, but lenient, demonstrating all gentleness to all men.

3:3For we were at some time or other also ourselves unthinking, resisting persuasion, erring, being a slave to desires and various satisfactions, leading in evil and envy, odious, detesting one another.

3:4And when the graciousness and the humane treatment appeared of God our deliverer,

3:5not from works in righteousness which we did, but according to his mercy he delivered us, through the bath of regeneration and renewal of holy spirit,

3:6which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our deliverer;

3:7that having been justified by that favor, we should be heirs according to a hope of life eternal.

3:8Trustworthy is the word; and concerning these things I want you to positively assert, that the ones trusting in God should be thoughtful to be set over good works. These are the good and beneficial things to men.

3:9But moronish inquiries, and genealogies, and strifes, and legal battles stand off from! for they are unprofitable and vain.

3:10A heretical man, after one and a second admonition, refuse;

3:11knowing that such a one is distorted and sins, being self-condemned.

3:12Whenever I should send forth Artemas to you, or Tychicus, hurry to come to me in Nicopolis! for there I have decided to pass the winter.

3:13Zenas the legal expert and Apollos diligently send forward! that nothing to them should be missing.

3:14But let also the ones of ours learn to be set over good works for the important needs! that they should not be unfruitful.

3:15All the ones with me greet you. You greet the ones being fond of us in belief! Favor be with you all. Amen.
