Titus 3:3-7 For, even we, used, at one time, to be––thoughtless, unyielding, deceived, in servitude unto manifold covetings and pleasures, in malice and envy, leading on, detestable, hating one another.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ For, even we, used, at one time, to be––thoughtless, unyielding, deceived, in servitude unto manifold covetings and pleasures, in malice and envy, leading on, detestable, hating one another. ⁴ But, when, the graciousness and affection for man of our Saviour God, shone forth, ⁵ Not by works which we had done in righteousness, but, according to his mercy, he saved us––through means of the bathing of a new birth, and the moulding anew of Holy Spirit.–– ⁶ Which he poured on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour, ⁷ In order that, having been declared righteous by his favour, we should be made inheritors, according to hope, of life age–abiding.
