Titus 3

The Darby Translation DBY

1 Put them in mind to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient to rule, to be ready to do every good work,

2 to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, [to be] mild, shewing all meekness towards all men.

3 For we were once ourselves also without intelligence, disobedient, wandering in error, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, [and] hating one another.

4 But when the kindness and love to man of our Saviour God appeared,

5 not on the principle of works which [have been done] in righteousness which *we* had done, but according to his own mercy he saved us through [the] washing of regeneration and renewal of [the] Holy Spirit,

6 which he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

7 that, having been justified by *his* grace, we should become heirs according to [the] hope of eternal life.

8 The word [is] faithful, and I desire that thou insist strenuously on these things, that they who have believed God may take care to pay diligent attention to good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

9 But foolish questions, and genealogies, and strifes, and contentions about the law, shun; for they are unprofitable and vain.

10 An heretical man after a first and second admonition have done with,

11 knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.

12 When I shall send Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, use diligence to come to me to Nicopolis; for I have decided to winter there.

13 Zenas the lawyer and Apollos set forward diligently on their way, that nothing may be lacking to them;

14 and let ours also learn to apply themselves to good works for necessary wants, that they may not be unfruitful.

15 All with me salute thee. Salute those who love us in [the] faith. Grace [be] with you all.

New Century Version NCV

1 Remind the believers to yield to the authority of rulers and government leaders, to obey them, to be ready to do good,

2 to speak no evil about anyone, to live in peace, and to be gentle and polite to all people.

3 In the past we also were foolish. We did not obey, we were wrong, and we were slaves to many things our bodies wanted and enjoyed. We spent our lives doing evil and being jealous. People hated us, and we hated each other.

4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior was shown,

5 he saved us because of his mercy. It was not because of good deeds we did to be right with him. He saved us through the washing that made us new people through the Holy Spirit.

6 God poured out richly upon us that Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ our Savior.

7 Being made right with God by his grace, we could have the hope of receiving the life that never ends.

8 This teaching is true, and I want you to be sure the people understand these things. Then those who believe in God will be careful to use their lives for doing good. These things are good and will help everyone.

9 But stay away from those who have foolish arguments and talk about useless family histories and argue and quarrel about the law. Those things are worth nothing and will not help anyone.

10 After a first and second warning, avoid someone who causes arguments.

11 You can know that such people are evil and sinful; their own sins prove them wrong.

12 When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to stay there this winter.

13 Do all you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey so that they have everything they need.

14 Our people must learn to use their lives for doing good deeds to provide what is necessary so that their lives will not be useless.

15 All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.
