Titus 3:1-7 - Conduct Toward All People

1 Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, and to be ready to do every good work, 2 to speak evil of no man, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all meekness toward all men. 3 For we also once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

4 When the kindness of God our Savior, and his love toward man, appeared, 5 not by works done in righteousness, which we did, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration (restoration) (spiritual rebirth) and renewing (renovation) of the Holy Spirit. 6 He poured Spirit out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior. 7 Being justified by his grace (loving kindness), we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
