Remind everyone to obey
those in authority
and be ready to do good.
Remind everyone not
to talk ill of anyone nor
quarrel, but be
gentle and respectful of all.
Remember how we once
foolishly disobeyed? We, too,
went the way of envy
and other evils, and, oh, how
we hated one another!
Then God
our Savior
showed us true
kindness and love
by saving us –
not because
of anything
we had done,
but because
of God’s own
mercy.
And God cleansed us from sin
and gave us a fresh start
and gave us a new life in the Spirit
and generously poured into us
the Holy Spirit of our Savior
Jesus Christ.
God’s grace made us righteous.
God's gift gave us confidence
and hope
of life
forever in Christ.
Titus 3:1-7
