Titus 3:3-7 For we ourselves also in time past were thoughtless, disobedient, erroneous, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ For we ourselves also in time past were thoughtless, disobedient, erroneous, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. ⁴ But even then the kindness and love of God our Saviour to man shone forth, ⁵ not for works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and by renovation of the Holy Spirit; ⁶ which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; ⁷ that justified by his grace, we might become heirs in hope of eternal life.
