Titus 3:3-7 Because we ourselves were also foolish at one time, disobedient, being deceived, being enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, detestable, hating one another.

WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Because we ourselves were also foolish at one time, disobedient, being deceived, being enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, detestable, hating one another. ⁴ But when the kindness of our Savior God and His love toward mankind manifested itself, ⁵ He saved us—not because of righteous deeds that we ourselves had done but according to His mercy, by means of the bath of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit, ⁶ whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, ⁷ so that having been justified by His grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
