Titus 3:3-8

21st Century 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 the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared,

⁵ He saved us not by works of righteousness which we had done, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration, and by the renewing of the Holy Ghost,

⁶ which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

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 enjoin that thou affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
