Titus:3:1-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Put them in mind to be subject to governments ,
and powers ,
to obey magistrates ,
to be ready to every good work ;
*
to speak evil of no one ;
to be no fighters ,
but equitable ,
showing all meekness to all men .
*
For even we ourselves were formerly foolish ,
disobedient ,
erring ,
slavishly serving diverse inordinate desires and pleasures ,
living in malice and envy ,
hateful ,
and hating one another .
*
But when the goodness and philanthropy of God our Saviour shone forth ,
*
he saved us-not on account of works of righteousness which we had done-but according to his own mercy ,
through the bath of regeneration ,
and the renewing of the Holy Spirit ;
*
which he poured out on us richly ,
through Jesus Christ our Saviour ;
*
that being justified by his favor ,
we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life .
*
This doctrine is true :
and concerning these ,
I charge you to affirm strongly ,
that those who have believed in God ,
be studious to stand foremost in good works .
These are things that are honorable and profitable to men .
*
But foolish questions ,
and genealogies ,
and strifes ,
and fightings about the law ,
resist ;
for they are unprofitable and vain .
*
A factionist ,
after a first and second admonition ,
reject ;
*
knowing that such a person is perverted ,
and sins ,
being self-condemned .
