9 Tell the slaves to obey their masters in all things, to please them, not to contradict them,

10 They did not steal, but showed all good faithfulness, that they might be an ornament in all things to the teaching of our Savior our God.

11 For the saving grace of God has appeared to all men,

12 Instructing us, having rejected ungodliness and worldly lusts, to live chastely and righteously and godly in this present world,

13 waiting for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ,

14 Who gave himself for us, to redeem us from all iniquity, and to purify himself as a special people, zealous for good works.

15 These things thou shalt speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one neglect you.

Titus 3

1 Remind them to be subject to principalities, to powers: to obey, to be ready for every good work,

2 To speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, to be lenient, showing all meekness to all men.

3 For we also were once foolish, disobedient, erring, slaves of divers lusts and pleasures; they lived in malice and envy, vile, hating one another.

4 And when the goodness and love of mankind of our Saviour God was manifested,

5 it was not by works of righteousness which we would have done, but by his mercy that he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit,

6 Whom he has poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour,

7 that we, justified by his grace, may become heirs in the hope of eternal life.

8 The word is true, and I desire that you should stand fast to it, that those who believe in God may strive to prosper in good works. This is good and useful for people.

9 But thou shalt avoid foolish disputes, and genealogies, and quarrels, and disputes concerning the Law; for they are useless and vain;

10 From a man of a narrow opinion, after one admonition and another, turn away from him,

11 knowing that such a man has gone astray, and is sinning, bearing condemnation within himself.

12 When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, take care to come to me at Nicopolis; for there I decided to overwinter.

13 Train Zenas the lawyer and Apollos for the journey with diligence, that they may lack nothing.
