NASB Bible

Titus 3

Godly Living

1

 aRemind them  bto be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be  cready for every good deed,

2

to malign no one,  ato be peaceable,  agentle,  bshowing every consideration for all men.

3

 aFor we also once were foolish ourselves,  bdisobedient,  cdeceived,  denslaved to  evarious lusts and pleasures, spending our life in  fmalice and  fenvy, hateful, hating one another.

4

But when the  akindness of  bGod our Savior and His love for mankind  cappeared,

5

 aHe saved us,  bnot on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but  caccording to His mercy, by the  dwashing of regeneration and  erenewing by the Holy Spirit,

6

 awhom He poured out upon us  brichly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

7

so that being justified by His grace we would be made  aheirs  1according to the hope of eternal life.

8

 aThis is a trustworthy statement; and concerning these things I  bwant you to speak confidently, so that those who have  cbelieved God will be careful to  dengage in good deeds. These things are good and profitable for men.

9

But  aavoid  bfoolish controversies and  cgenealogies and strife and  ddisputes about the Law, for they are  eunprofitable and worthless.

10

 aReject a  bfactious man  cafter a first and second warning,

11

knowing that such a man is  aperverted and is sinning, being self-condemned.

Personal Concerns

12

When I send Artemas or  aTychicus to you,  bmake every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to  cspend the winter there.

13

Diligently help Zenas the  alawyer and  bApollos on their way so that nothing is lacking for them.

14

 aOur people must also learn to  bengage in good  1deeds to meet  cpressing needs, so that they will not be  dunfruitful.

15

 aAll who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us  bin the faith.

 cGrace be with you all.
