Titus 3:7-15

7 so that 1being justified by his grace we might become 2heirs 3according to the hope of eternal life.
8 The saying is 4trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful 5to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people.
9 But 6avoid foolish 7controversies, 8genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for 9they are unprofitable and worthless.
10 As for a person who stirs up division, 10after warning him once and then twice, 11have nothing more to do with him,
11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.
