1. Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, 2. To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.3. For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared.5. Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.Titus 3:1-5 Paul's instruction to believers, to mind authorities, and be ready to do good works. Watching what comes out of our mouth, and following in the steps of our Lord. Because by the love of Christ we were freed from all evil speaking and behavior. We have been washed in Christ's blood, renewed, and brought back from death by Christ's Righteousness, and sanctified by the Holy Ghost. Who is a great comfort to all who follow Christ. Amen.
