Titus 3:3-8
New Living Translation

3 Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became slaves to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy, and we hated each other. 4 But—

When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, 5 he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.[a] 6 He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. 7 Because of his grace he made us right in his sight and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life.

8 This is a trustworthy saying, and I want you to insist on these teachings so that all who trust in God will devote themselves to doing good. These teachings are good and beneficial for everyone.

Titus 3:3-8
International Standard Version

3 After all, we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, and misled. We were slaves to many kinds of lusts and pleasures, spending our days in malice and jealousy. We were despised, and we hated one another.

4 In grace our Savior God appeared,
    to make his love for mankind clear.
5 ‘Twas not for deeds that we had done,
    but by his steadfast love[a] alone,
he saved us through a second birth,
    renewed us by the Spirit’s[b] work,
6 and poured him out upon us, too,
    through Jesus the Messiah[c] our Savior true.
7 And so, made heirs by his own grace,
    eternal life we now embrace.[d]

8 This saying is trustworthy.[e] I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have put their faith in God may devote themselves to good actions. These things are good and helpful to other people.
