Titus 3:3-8
New Matthew Bible
3 For we ourselves also were in times past unwise: disobedient, deceived; captive to desires, lusts, and diverse kinds of sensuality; living in maliciousness and envy, full of hate, hating one another.
4 But after the kindness and love of our Saviour God toward man appeared, 5 he saved us – not for the deeds of righteousness that we have done, but of his mercy, by the fountain of the new birth, and with the renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6 which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour, 7 so that we, once justified by his grace, should be heirs of eternal life through hope. 8 This is a true saying.
These things I want you to affirm constantly, so that those who believe God may be diligent to go forward in good works. These things are good and profitable to people.

Titus 3:3-8
New International Version
3 At one time(A) 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(B) and love of God our Savior(C) appeared,(D) 5 he saved us,(E) not because of righteous things we had done,(F) but because of his mercy.(G) He saved us through the washing(H) of rebirth and renewal(I) by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us(J) generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace,(K) we might become heirs(L) having the hope(M) of eternal life.(N) 8 This is a trustworthy saying.(O) 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.(P) These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.

Titus 3:3-8
King James Version
3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
