Titus 3:1-7 - Conduct Toward All People

¹ Admonish them to be submissive to governors and magistrates, to obey their orders, and to be ready to every good work; ² to slander no man, to avoid contention, to be gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. ³ For we also were formerly foolish, disobedient, going astray, enslaved to various disorderly appetites and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

⁴ But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour towards man appeared, ⁵ not for works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the holy Spirit; ⁶ which He hath plentifully shed upon us, through Jesus Christ our Saviour: ⁷ that being justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
