Titus 3:2

Conduct Toward All People

¹ Remind the people [where you minister] to be in subjection to [civic] rulers, [governmental] authorities, to be obedient [to them], to be prepared for [doing] every good deed, ² to slander no one, to be peaceful, to be considerate [or, "gentle"] and to show every courtesy to all people. ³ For we [Christians] were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various kinds of [evil] desires and [sinful] pleasures. [We used to] live in malice and envy, hating people and being hated by them.
