New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 so that we might be justified by his grace
and become heirs in hope of eternal life.(A)
8 This saying is trustworthy.
Advice to Titus.[a] I want you to insist on these points, that those who have believed in God be careful to devote themselves to good works; these are excellent and beneficial to others.(B) 9 [b]Avoid foolish arguments, genealogies, rivalries, and quarrels about the law,(C) for they are useless and futile.
