Holy Bible
(King James Version)
Titus:
Chapter 3
1. PUT
them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey
magistrates, to be ready to every good work.
2. To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all
meekness unto all men.
3. For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived,
serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful,
and hating one another.
4. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man
appeared,
5. Not 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 Ghost;
6. Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7. That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according
to the hope of eternal life.
8. This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm
constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to
maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto
men.
9. But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and
strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10. A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition
reject;
11. Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being
condemned of himself.
12. When I shall send Ar-te-mas unto thee, or Tych-i-cus, be diligent to
come unto me to Ni-cop-o-lis: for I have determined there to winter.
13. Bring Zenas the lawyer and A-pol-los on their journey diligently, that
nothing be wanting unto them.
14. And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses,
that they be not unfruitful.
15. All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in
the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
