Titus 3:3-8 - What God Did For Us
3 For we ourselves also in time past were thoughtless, disobedient, erroneous, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.
4 But even then the kindness and love of God our Saviour to man shone forth, 5 not for works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and by renovation of the Holy Spirit; 6 which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 that justified by his grace, we might become heirs in hope of eternal life.
8 Faithful is the saying, and of these things I wish thee firmly to testify, that they who have believed in God be careful to be pre-eminent in good works. These are becoming and advantageous to men.
