Titus 3: 3-7

Verse 3

For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another.

Verse 4

But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared

Verse 5

he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit.

Verse 6

Whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior

Verse 7

So that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
