Maintain Good Deeds
3 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarrelling, to be gentle, and to show every courtesy to everyone. 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. 4 But when the goodness and loving-kindness of God our Saviour appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to his mercy, through the water[a] of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. 6 This Spirit he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 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. 9 But avoid stupid controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. 10 After a first and second admonition, have nothing more to do with anyone who causes divisions, 11 since you know that such a person is perverted and sinful, being self-condemned.
Final Messages and Benediction
12 When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there. 13 Make every effort to send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way, and see that they lack nothing. 14 And let people learn to devote themselves to good works in order to meet urgent needs, so that they may not be unproductive.
15 All who are with me send greetings to you. Greet those who love us in the faith.
Grace be with all of you.[b]

La conducta de los creyentes
3 Recuerda a los creyentes que deben someterse a las autoridades que gobiernan: que las obedezcan y estén prontos a colaborar en todo lo bueno que emprendan; 2 que no ofendan a nadie ni se peleen con nadie; que se muestren afables y llenos de dulzura con todo el mundo.
3 Porque también nosotros en otro tiempo fuimos irreflexivos y obstinados; anduvimos descarriados, esclavos de toda suerte de pasiones y placeres, y vivimos en la maldad y la envidia, odiados de todos y odiándonos unos a otros. 4 Pero ahora se han hecho patentes la bondad y el amor que Dios, nuestro Salvador, tiene a los seres humanos. 5 Él nos ha salvado no en virtud de nuestras buenas obras, sino por su misericordia; y lo ha hecho por medio del lavamiento* que nos hace nacer de nuevo y por medio de la renovación del Espíritu Santo* 6 que Dios ha derramado sobre nosotros con abundancia a través de nuestro Salvador Jesucristo. 7 Restablecidos así por la gracia de Dios en su amistad, hemos sido constituidos herederos con la esperanza de recibir la vida eterna.
IV.— CONSEJOS PARTICULARES A TITO (3,8-11)
Consejos a Tito
8 Es esta una palabra digna de crédito y quiero que también tú insistas con tesón en ella para que, cuantos creen en Dios, se apliquen con entusiasmo a la práctica del bien. Esto es bueno y útil para todos. 9 Evita, en cambio, las controversias estúpidas sobre genealogías, así como las acaloradas polémicas en torno a la ley; son insustanciales y no conducen a nada. 10 Apártate de quien fomenta divisiones después de haberlo amonestado una e incluso dos veces, 11 pues ya ves que se trata de una persona descarriada y pecadora a la que su propia conciencia condena.
Conclusión (3,12-15)
Últimas recomendaciones y saludos
12 Pienso enviarte a Artemas y a Tíquico. En cuanto lleguen, ven en seguida a encontrarte conmigo en Nicópolis, pues he decidido pasar allí el invierno. 13 Preocúpate de que a Zenón, el abogado, y a Apolo nada les falte para su viaje. 14 Que nuestros hermanos aprendan a ser los primeros en la práctica del bien, ayudando en las necesidades más apremiantes, para que no sea su vida como un árbol sin frutos.
15 Te saludan todos los que están conmigo. Saluda a nuestros amigos en la fe. Que la gracia esté con todos ustedes.

Graces of the Heirs of Grace
3 Remind them (A)to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, (B)to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. 3 For (C)we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 4 But when (D)the kindness and the love of (E)God our Savior toward man appeared, 5 (F)not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through (G)the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6 (H)whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 that having been justified by His grace (I)we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8 (J)This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
Avoid Dissension
9 But (K)avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. 10 (L)Reject a divisive man after the first and second [a]admonition, 11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned.
Final Messages
12 When I send Artemas to you, or (M)Tychicus, be diligent to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there. 13 Send Zenas the lawyer and (N)Apollos on their journey with haste, that they may lack nothing. 14 And let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful.
Farewell
15 All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith.
Grace be with you all. Amen.

Saved in Order to Do Good
3 Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities,(A) to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good,(B) 2 to slander no one,(C) to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.
3 At one time(D) 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(E) and love of God our Savior(F) appeared,(G) 5 he saved us,(H) not because of righteous things we had done,(I) but because of his mercy.(J) He saved us through the washing(K) of rebirth and renewal(L) by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us(M) generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace,(N) we might become heirs(O) having the hope(P) of eternal life.(Q) 8 This is a trustworthy saying.(R) 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.(S) These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.
9 But avoid(T) foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels(U) about the law,(V) because these are unprofitable and useless.(W) 10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them.(X) 11 You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned.
Final Remarks
12 As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus(Y) to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there.(Z) 13 Do everything you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos(AA) on their way and see that they have everything they need. 14 Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good,(AB) in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives.
15 Everyone with me sends you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith.(AC)
Grace be with you all.(AD)
