The Epistle of Paul to Titus

 1 Put them in mind to be ^asubject to ^bprincipalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

 2 To ^aspeak evil of no man, to be ^bno brawlers, but gentle, shewing all ^cmeekness unto all men.

 3 For we ourselves also were ^asometimes foolish, ^bdisobedient, deceived, serving divers ^clusts and pleasures, living in ^dmalice 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 ^arighteousness which we have done, but according to his ^bmercy he saved us, by the ^cwashing of regeneration, and ^drenewing of the Holy Ghost;

 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

 7 That being ^ajustified by his grace, we should be made ^bheirs 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 ^aworks. These things are good and profitable unto men.

 9 But avoid ^afoolish questions, and genealogies, and ^bcontentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

 10 A man that is an ^aheretick after the first and second ^badmonition reject;

 11 Knowing that he that is such is ^asubverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

 12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.

 13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.

 14 And let ^aours also learn to maintain ^bgood works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.

 15 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
