Titus 3:3-8
Legacy Standard Bible
3 (A)For we ourselves also once were foolish, (B)disobedient, (C)deceived, (D)enslaved to (E)various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in (F)malice and (G)envy, despicable, hating one another. 4 But when the (H)kindness and affection of (I)God our Savior (J)appeared, 5 (K)He saved us, (L)not by works which we did in righteousness, but (M)according to His mercy, through the (N)washing of regeneration and (O)renewing by the Holy Spirit, 6 (P)whom He poured out upon us (Q)richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that having been justified by His grace, we would become (R)heirs [a]according to the hope of eternal life. 8 (S)This is a trustworthy saying. And concerning these things I (T)want you to speak confidently, so that those who have (U)believed God will be intent to (V)lead in good works. These things are good and profitable for men.

Titus 3:3-8
Christian Standard Bible
3 For we too were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved by various passions(A) and pleasures,(B) living in malice and envy, hateful, detesting one another.
4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love for mankind appeared,(C) 5 he saved us(D)—not by works of righteousness that we had done,(E) but according to his mercy(F)—through the washing of regeneration(G) and renewal by the Holy Spirit.(H) 6 He poured out his Spirit on us abundantly(I) through Jesus Christ our Savior 7 so that, having been justified by his grace,(J) we may become heirs with the hope of eternal life.(K) 8 This saying is trustworthy.(L) I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed God might be careful to devote themselves to good works. These are good and profitable for everyone.
