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 3:7 Or of eternal life according to hope
Titus 3:3-8
English Standard Version
3 For (A)we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. 4 But when (B)the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, (C)not because of works done by us in righteousness, but (D)according to his own mercy, by (E)the washing of regeneration and (F)renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he (G)poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that (H)being justified by his grace we might become (I)heirs (J)according to the hope of eternal life. 8 The saying is (K)trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful (L)to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people.
