Titus 3:4-7

Thomson(i) 4 but when the kindness and love of God our saviour for man was brightly displayed, 5 not for works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy; he saved us by a bath of regeneration, and a renewal of a holy spirit, 6 which he poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our saviour, 7 in order that we, being pardoned by his favour, might become expectant heirs of everlasting life.
