Titus 3:2-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
2
to slander no one, not to be contentious,
to be
gentle, showing every consideration for all people.
3
For we too were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.
4
But when the kindness of God our Savior and
His
love for mankind appeared,
5
He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we did in righteousness, but in accordance with His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
6
whom He richly poured out upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7
so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to
the
hope of eternal life.
8
This statement is trustworthy; and concerning these things I want you to speak confidently, so that those who have believed God will be careful to engage in good deeds. These things are good and beneficial for people.
9
But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about the Law, for they are useless and worthless.
King James Version
Chapter 3
2
To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
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 that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6
Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
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 will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
9
But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

Chapter 3
2
They must not slander anyone and must avoid quarreling. Instead, they should be gentle and show true humility to everyone.
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.
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.
