Titus 3:1-3

New Matthew Bible

Of obedience to persons in authority. Of gentleness to all people. He warns Titus to beware of foolish and unprofitable questions.

3 Warn the people to submit themselves to rule and authority, to obey the officials, to be ready for all good works, ² to speak evil of no one, and not to be fighters, but soft, showing all gentleness to all people. ³ For we ourselves also were in times past unwise: disobedient, deceived; captive to desires, lusts, and diverse kinds of sensuality; living in maliciousness and envy, full of hate, hating one another.
