Titus 3 (WEBP)

[1] Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
[2] to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all humility toward all men.
[3] For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
[4] But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,
[5] not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
[6] whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior;
[7] that being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
[8] This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you insist confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;
[9] but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
[10] Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning,
[11] knowing that such a one is perverted and sinful, being self-condemned.
[12] When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.
[13] Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them.
[14] Let our people also learn to maintain good works to meet necessary needs, that they may not be unfruitful.
[15] All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.

King James w/Strong’s #s

Titus 3 (KJVS)

[1] Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
[2] to speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
[3] For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
[4] But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
[5] 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;
[6] which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
[7] that being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
[8] 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.
[9] But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
[10] A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
[11] knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
[12] When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
[13] Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
[14] And let our’s also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
[15] All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen. It was written to Titus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Cretians, from Nicopolis of Macedonia.
