Titus 3 — ASVBT
3Verse 1Put them in mind to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready unto every good work,Verse 2to speak evil of no man, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all meekness toward all men.Verse 3For we also once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving diverse lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.Verse 4But when the kindness of God our Savior, and his love toward man, appeared,Verse 5not by works done in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,Verse 6which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior;Verse 7that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.Verse 8Faithful is the saying, and concerning these things I desire that thou affirm confidently, to the end that they who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men:Verse 9but shun foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strifes, and fightings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.Verse 10A factious man after a first and second admonition refuse;Verse 11knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned.Verse 12When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, give diligence to come unto me to Nicopolis: for there I have determined to winter.Verse 13Set forward Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.Verse 14And let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.Verse 15All that are with me salute thee. Salute them that love us in faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
