riversident - Titus:3:1-11

riversident@Titus:3:1 @ REMIND them to be submissive to ruling authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,

riversident@Titus:3:2 @ to speak abusively to no one, to be peaceable, to be fair, showing all gentleness toward all men.

riversident@Titus:3:3 @ For we ourselves were once thoughtless, disobedient, astray, enslaved to passions and various pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.

riversident@Titus:3:4 @ But when the kindness of our Savior, God, and his love to men appeared,

riversident@Titus:3:5 @ "not because of works that we had done in righteousness, but out of his own mercy he saved us through the bath of the new birth and the renewing of the Holy Spirit

riversident@Titus:3:6 @ which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

riversident@Titus:3:7 @ that we might be declared righteous by his grace and become heirs with the hope of life eternal."

riversident@Titus:3:8 @ That is a trustworthy saying. I wish you to insist on these things so that those who have put their faith in God may give earnest attention to honorable work. These things are honorable and also useful to men.

riversident@Titus:3:9 @ But avoid foolish disputes and genealogies and strife and quarrels about the Law; for they are unprofitable and futile.

riversident@Titus:3:10 @ If a man is factious, after one or two warnings, have nothing more to do with him,

riversident@Titus:3:11 @ knowing that such a one is perverted and goes on sinning though self-condemned.
