Titus:3

* Admonish them to be subject to dominion and power , and to persuade [those who have ] authority , that they be quick unto every good work . * That [they ] speak evil of no one , that [they ] not be contentious , [but ] gentle , showing all meekness unto all men . * For we ourselves also were foolish in another time , rebellious , deceived , serving diverse lusts and pleasures , living in malice and envy , hateful , [and ] hating one another . * But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared , * 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 Spirit , * which he poured out abundantly in us through Jesus , the Christ , our Saviour ; * that being justified by his grace , we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life . * The Word is faithful , and I desire that thou affirm this constantly , that those who have believed God might be careful to conduct themselves in good works . This is good and profitable unto men . * But avoid foolish questions and genealogies and contentions and debates [concerning ] the law , for they are unprofitable and vain . * A man that is a heretic , after the first and second admonition , reject him , * knowing that he that is such is subverted and sins , being condemned of his own judgment . * When I shall send Artemas unto thee or Tychicus , procure to come unto me to Nicopolis ; for I have determined to winter there . * Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on ahead , procuring that nothing be lacking unto them . * And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses , that they not be unfruitful . * All that are with me salute thee . Greet those that love us in the faith . Grace [be ] with you all . Amen .:
