Titus 3
3
1Admonish them to be subject to princes and powers, to obey at a word, to be ready to every good work.
2To speak evil of no man, not to be litigious, but gentle: shewing all mildness towards all men.
3For we ourselves also were some time unwise, incredulous, erring, slaves to divers desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4But when the goodness and kindness of God our Savior appeared:
5Not by the works of justice, which we have done, but according to his mercy, he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and renovation of the Holy Ghost;
6Whom he hath poured forth upon us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Savior:
7That, being justified by his grace, we may be heirs, according to hope of life everlasting.
8It is a faithful saying: and these things I will have thee affirm constantly: that they, who believe in God, may be careful to excel in good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
9But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law. For they are unprofitable and vain.
10A man that is a heretic, after the first and second admonition, avoid:
11Knowing that he, that is such an one, is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned by his own judgment.
12When I shall send to thee Artemas or Tychicus, make haste to come unto me to Nicopolis. For there I have determined to winter.
13Send forward Zenas, the lawyer, and Apollo, with care, that nothing be wanting to them.
14And let our men also learn to excel in good works for necessary uses: that they be not unfruitful.
15All that are with me salute thee: salute them that love us in the faith. The grace of God be with you all. Amen.

Titus 3
3
1Put them in mind to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient to rule, to be ready to do every good work, 2to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be mild, shewing all meekness towards all men. 3For we were once ourselves also without intelligence, disobedient, wandering in error, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4But when the kindness and love to man of our Saviour God appeared, 5not on the principle of works which have been done in righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6which he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7that, having been justified by his grace, we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8The word is faithful, and I desire that thou insist strenuously on these things, that they who have believed God may take care to pay diligent attention to good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
9But foolish questions, and genealogies, and strifes, and contentions about the law, shun; for they are unprofitable and vain. 10An heretical man after a first and second admonition have done with, 11knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned. 12When I shall send Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, use diligence to come to me to Nicopolis; for I have decided to winter there. 13Zenas the lawyer and Apollos set forward diligently on their way, that nothing may be lacking to them; 14and let ours also learn to apply themselves to good works for necessary wants, that they may not be unfruitful. 15All with me salute thee. Salute those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.
