but in his own seasons manifested his word in the message, wherewith I was intrusted according to the commandment of God our Saviour;

but given to hospitality, as lover of good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled;

To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.

They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

But speak thou the things which befit the sound doctrine:

not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, appeared,

not by works done in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

but shun foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strifes, and fightings about law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
