Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Titus 2
¹³ looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
¹⁴ who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.
¹⁵ Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.
Titus 3
¹ Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work,
² to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men.
³ For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.
⁴ But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared,
⁵ not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
⁶ whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
⁷ that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
⁸ This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
