Titus 3:8

4But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,

5not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

6whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior;

7that being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

8This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you insist confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;

9but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

10Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning,

11knowing that such a one is perverted and sinful, being self-condemned.

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