But when the kindness and love
of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not
because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He
saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy
Spirit,6 whom he poured out on us generously
through Jesus Christ our Savior (Titus
3:4-6 NIV)
Remind the people to be subject to rulers and
authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, 2 to slander no
one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward
everyone. 3 At one time we too were foolish,
disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We
lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4 But when the
kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not
because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He
saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy
Spirit, 6 whom
he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been
justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of
eternal life. 8 This
is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that
those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what
is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone. (Titus 3:1-8)
