Titus 3:1-7 - Conduct Toward All People

1 Remind them to be submissive to principle offices and positions of authority, to be obedient, to be prepared for every good work, 2 to slander no man, to be noncontentious, meek, showing all mildness to all men. 3 For we also were formerly foolish, disobedient, being led astray, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in evil and envy, hateful, hating each other.

4 But when the kindness and philanthropy of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not of works in righteousness that we did, but according to his mercy through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6 which he poured out upon us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Savior. 7 So that, having been made righteous by the grace of that man, we may become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
