4 But when the goodness and lovingkindness of God our Saviour were brought to light,
5 He saved us, not for upright deeds that we had done, but in accordance with His mercy, through the bath of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
6 which He abundantly poured out upon us through Jesus Christ our Saviour,
7 so that we might come into right standing with God through His unmerited favor and become heirs of eternal life in accordance with our hope.
8 It is a message to be trusted, and I want you to be emphatic about these things, so that those who believe in God may be careful to take the lead in doing good. These things are right and render service to mankind.
