Titus 3 :: English Standard Version (ESV)

Be Ready for Every Good Work

Tit 3:1Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,

Tit 3:2to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people.

Tit 3:3For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another.

Tit 3:4

Tit 3:4But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared,

Tit 3:5

Tit 3:5he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,

Tit 3:6

Tit 3:6whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

Tit 3:7

Tit 3:7so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Tit 3:8

Tit 3:8The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people.

Tit 3:9

Tit 3:9But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.

Tit 3:10

Tit 3:10As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him,

Tit 3:11

Tit 3:11knowing that such a person is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.
