Titus 3:1-3

New Life Version

The Work of a Leader

3 Teach your people to obey the leaders of their country. They should be ready to do any good work. ² They must not speak bad of anyone, and they must not argue. They should be gentle and kind to all people.

God Saved Us from All These Things

³ There was a time when we were foolish and did not obey. We were fooled in many ways. Strong desires held us in their power. We wanted only to please ourselves. We wanted what others had and were angry when we could not have them. We hated others and they hated us.
