Titus 3:3-8
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
For We Also Were Once Foolish And Deceived, But God Saved Us By His Mercy And Grace
3 For we also were once foolish[a], disobedient, being deceived, being-slaves[b] to various desires and pleasures, spending life in malice and envy, detested[c], hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and love-for-mankind of our Savior God appeared, 5 He saved us[d]— not by works which we did in [our] righteousness, but according-to[e] His mercy, through a washing[f] of [g] regeneration[h] and a renewing[i] of [j] the Holy Spirit, 6 Whom He richly poured-out upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 in order that having been declared-righteous by the grace of that One, we might become heirs according-to[k] the hope of eternal life. 8 The saying is trustworthy.
Speak With Confidence, So That Believers Take The Lead In Good Works
And concerning these things I want you to be speaking-confidently, in order that the ones having believed in God may be careful[l] to take-the-lead[m] in good works. These things are good and profitable for people.
