4 But when the goodness and kindness of God our Saviour appeared:
4
But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared,
5 Not by the works of justice which we have done, but according to his mercy, he saved us, by the laver of regeneration and renovation of the Holy Ghost.
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 hath poured forth upon us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour:
6
whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7 That, being justified by his grace, we may be heirs according to hope of life everlasting.
7
so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
