Titus 3:3-5 King James Version (KJV)
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 3:3-5
JuliaSmith 3 For once we also were unwise disobedient, deceived, being slaves to eager desires and various pleasures, living in vexation and envy, hated, and hating one another. 4 And when the kindness and philanthropy of our Saviour God was made evident, 5 Not of works in justice which we did; but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and the renovation of the Holy Spirit;
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
3 We once lived in the ways of the world but we now have Jesus and should live in His ways not ours. We were disobedient not just to God but to man’s authority as well. We were deceived and didn’t believe the truth which is in Jesus. We were slaves to self now we are servants of the Lord. We were full of hate and now we can be full of God’s love.
4 The kindness, His love was shown on the cross and us personally it was shown when we received His grace by faith in Jesus.
5 We can never and could never do enough to deserve what we gain thru grace. We can only be saved by Christ. He changes us in a way no works could ever do, we become His work.
