Titus 2:11-3
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all,[a](A) 12 training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions and in the present age to live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly,(B) 13 while we wait for the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of our great God and Savior,[b] Jesus Christ.(C) 14 He it is who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds.(D)
15 Declare these things; exhort and reprove with all authority.[c] Let no one look down on you.
Maintain Good Deeds
3 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,(E) 2 to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show every courtesy to everyone.(F) 3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, despicable, hating one another.(G) 4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared,(H) 5 he saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to his mercy, through the water[d] of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.(I) 6 This Spirit he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.(J) 8 The saying is sure.
I desire that you insist on these things, so that those who have come to believe in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works; these things are excellent and profitable to everyone.(K) 9 But avoid stupid controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.(L) 10 After a first and second admonition, have nothing more to do with anyone who causes divisions,(M) 11 since you know that such a person is perverted and sinful, being self-condemned.

New International Version
Titus 2:11-3
New International Version
11 For the grace(A) of God has appeared(B) that offers salvation to all people.(C) 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions,(D) and to live self-controlled,(E) upright and godly lives(F) in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing(G) of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,(H) 14 who gave himself for us(I) to redeem us from all wickedness(J) and to purify(K) for himself a people that are his very own,(L) eager to do what is good.(M)
15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.
Saved in Order to Do Good
3 Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities,(N) to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good,(O) 2 to slander no one,(P) to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.
3 At one time(Q) we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness(R) and love of God our Savior(S) appeared,(T) 5 he saved us,(U) not because of righteous things we had done,(V) but because of his mercy.(W) He saved us through the washing(X) of rebirth and renewal(Y) by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us(Z) generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace,(AA) we might become heirs(AB) having the hope(AC) of eternal life.(AD) 8 This is a trustworthy saying.(AE) And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good.(AF) These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.
9 But avoid(AG) foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels(AH) about the law,(AI) because these are unprofitable and useless.(AJ) 10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them.(AK) 11 You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned.
