Titus:3:1-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers ,
to obey magistrates ,
to be ready to every good work ,
*
To speak evil of no man ,
to be no brawlers ,
but gentle ,
shewing all meekness unto all men .
*
For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish ,
disobedient ,
deceived ,
serving divers 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 Ghost ;
*
Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour ;
*
That being justified by his grace ,
we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life .
*
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 .
*
But avoid foolish questions ,
and genealogies ,
and contentions ,
and strivings about the law ;
for they are unprofitable and vain .
*
A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject ;
*
Knowing that he that is such is subverted ,
and sinneth ,
being condemned of himself .
