Titus 3 :: New International Version (NIV)

Saved in Order to Do Good

Tit 3:1Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good,

Tit 3:2to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.

Tit 3:3At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.

Tit 3:4

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

Tit 3:5

Tit 3:5he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,

Tit 3:6

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

Tit 3:7

Tit 3:7so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.

Tit 3:8

Tit 3:8This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.

Tit 3:9

Tit 3:9But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless.

Tit 3:10

Tit 3:10Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them.

Tit 3:11

Tit 3:11You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned.
