←Prev   Titus 3 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


3:1  Be reminding them to be subject to rulers, to authorities; to be obedient; to be ready for every good work;
3:2  to blaspheme no one; to be non-quarrelsome, kind, demonstrating all gentleness toward all people.
3:3  For we also were once foolish, disobedient, being deceived, being-slaves to various desires and pleasures, spending life in malice and envy, detested, hating one another.
3:4  But when the kindness and love-for-mankind of our Savior God appeared,
3:5  He saved us— not by works which we did in [our] righteousness, but according-to His mercy, through a washing of regeneration and a renewing of  the Holy Spirit,
3:6  Whom He richly poured-out upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior,
3:7  in order that having been declared-righteous by the grace of that One, we might become heirs according-to the hope of eternal life.
3:8  The saying is trustworthy. And concerning these things I want you to be speaking-confidently, in order that the ones having believed in God may be careful to take-the-lead in good works. These things are good and profitable for people.
3:9  But be shunning foolish controversies and genealogies and quarrels and battles pertaining-to-the-Law. For they are unprofitable and worthless.
3:10  Be declining a divisive person after a first and second admonition,
3:11  knowing that such a one has been perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned.
3:12  When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, be diligent to come to me in Nicopolis, for I have determined to spend-the-winter there.
3:13  Diligently send-forward Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, in order that nothing may be lacking for them.
3:14  And let our people also be learning to take-the-lead in good works for necessary needs, in order that they may not be unfruitful.
3:15  All the ones with me greet you. Greet the ones loving us in the faith. Grace be with you all.
