Titus 3:4-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 But when the kindness and generous love
of God our savior appeared,(A)
5 not because of any righteous deeds we had done
but because of his mercy,
he saved us through the bath of rebirth
and renewal by the holy Spirit,(B)
6 whom he richly poured out on us
through Jesus Christ our savior,(C)
7 so that we might be justified by his grace
and become heirs in hope of eternal life.(D)
8 This saying is trustworthy.
Advice to Titus.[a] I want you to insist on these points, that those who have believed in God be careful to devote themselves to good works; these are excellent and beneficial to others.(E)
