Titus 3:3-8 For we were at some time or other also ourselves unthinking, resisting persuasion, erring, being a slave to desires and various satisfactions, leading in evil and envy, odious, detesting one another.

6 G3739 which G1632 he poured out G1909 upon G1473 us G4146 richly G1223 through G* Jesus G5547 Christ G3588 G4990 our deliverer; G1473

8 G4103 Trustworthy G3588 is the G3056 word; G2532 and G4012 concerning G3778 these things G1014 I want G1473 you G1226 to positively assert, G2443 that G5431 [⁴should be thoughtful G2570 ⁶good G2041 ⁷works G4291 ⁵to be set over G3588 ¹the ones G4100 ²trusting G3588 G2316 ³in God].

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ For we were also previously foolish, disobedient, being misled, serving in various lusts and sensual-delights, leading lives in malice and envy, spiteful, hating one another. ⁴ But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love of mankind had appeared: ⁵ he saved us (not from any works done in righteousness, which we practiced), but according to his mercy, through the full-washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, ⁶ which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior; ⁷ in order that we might become heirs according to the hope of everlasting life, having been made righteous in that grace. ⁸ Faithful is the word: and I will for you to confidently confirm concerning these things, in order that those who have believed God may be anxious to establish themselves first in good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Защото и ние някога бяхме неразумни, непокорни, заблудени, робуващи на разни желания и страсти, живеещи в злоба и завист, мразени и мразещи се един друг. ⁴ Но когато се яви благостта и човеколюбието на Бога, нашия Спасител, ⁵ Той ни спаси не чрез праведни дела, които сме извършили, а по Своята милост, чрез окъпването на новорождението и обновяването на Светия Дух, ⁶ когото изля изобилно върху нас чрез Иисус Христос, нашия Спасител, ⁷ така че, като сме оправдани чрез Неговата благодат, да станем наследници според надеждата на вечния живот. ⁸ Вярно е това слово.

Korean⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ 우리도 전에는 어리석은 자요 순종치 아니한 자요 속은 자요 각색 정욕과 행락에 종노릇한 자요 악독과 투기로 지낸 자요 가증스러운 자요 피차 미워한 자이었으나 ⁴ 우리 구주 하나님의 자비와 사람 사랑하심을 나타내실 때에 ⁵ 우리를 구원하시되 우리의 행한 바 의로운 행위로 말미암지 아니하고 오직 그의 긍휼하심을 좇아 중생의 씻음과 성령의 새롭게 하심으로 하셨나니 ⁶ 성령을 우리 구주 예수 그리스도로 말미암아 우리에게 풍성히 부어주사 ⁷ 우리로 저의 은혜를 힘입어 의롭다 하심을 얻어 영생의 소망을 따라 후사가 되게 하려 하심이라 ⁸ 이 말이 미쁘도다 원컨대 네가 이 여러 것에 대하여 굳세게 말하라 이는 하나님을 믿는 자들로 하여금 조심하여 선한 일을 힘쓰게 하려 함이라 이것은 아름다우며 사람들에게 유익하니라

Latvian⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Jo arī mēs kādreiz bijām neapdomīgi, neticīgi, maldījāmies, kalpojām dažādām kārībām un priekiem, dzīvojām ļaunprātībā un skaudībā, paši nīstami, cits citu nīdām. ⁴ Bet kad parādījās Dieva, mūsu Pestītāja, labsirdība un cilvēkmīlestība, ⁵ Tad Viņš mūs izglāba ne mūsu taisnīgo darbu dēļ, kurus padarījām, bet savas žēlsirdības dēļ, caur atdzimšanu ūdenī un atjaunošanos Svētajā Garā, ⁶ Ko Viņš bagātīgi izlēja pār mums caur mūsu Pestītāju Jēzu Kristu, ⁷ Lai, attaisnoti Viņa žēlastībā, mēs kļūtu cerētās mūžīgās dzīves mantinieki. ⁸ Šis ir patiess vārds; un es gribu, ka tu to apstiprinātu, lai tie, kas uz Dievu tic, censtos darīt labus darbus. Tas cilvēkiem ir labi un derīgi.

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Juk ir mes kitados buvome neprotingi, neklusnūs, apgauti, vergaujantys įvairiems geiduliams ir malonumams, gyvenome pilni pykčio ir pavydo, neapkenčiami ir nekenčiantys vieni kitų. ⁴ Bet kai pasirodė Dievo, mūsų Gelbėtojo, gerumas ir meilė žmonėms, ⁵ Jis išgelbėjo mus ne dėl mūsų atliktų teisumo darbų, bet iš savo gailestingumo, Šventosios Dvasios atgimdančiu ir atnaujinančiu nuplovimu. ⁶ Jis mums dosniai išliejo tos Dvasios per mūsų Gelbėtoją Jėzų Kristų, ⁷ kad, išteisinti Jo malone, viltimi taptume amžinojo gyvenimo paveldėtojais. ⁸ Tai patikimas žodis. Ir aš noriu, kad tu nuolatos pabrėžtum šiuos dalykus, kad patikėjusieji Dievu rūpintųsi paremti gerus darbus. Tai gera ir naudinga žmonėms.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Albowiem i myśmy byli niekiedy głupimi, upornymi, błądzącymi, służąc pożądliwościom i rozkoszom rozmaitym, w złości i w zazdrości mieszkając, przemierzłymi, jedni drugich nienawidzącymi, ⁴ Ale gdy się okazała dobrotliwość i miłość ku ludziom zbawiciela naszego, Boga, ⁵ Nie z uczynków sprawiedliwości, które byśmy my czynili, ale podług miłosierdzia swego zbawił nas przez omycie odrodzenia i odnowienia Ducha Świętego, ⁶ Którego wylał na nas obficie przez Jezusa Chrystusa, zbawiciela naszego, ⁷ Abyśmy usprawiedliwieni będąc łaską jego, stali się dziedzicami według nadziei żywota wiecznego. ⁸ Wiernać to mowa; a chcę, abyś ty to twierdził, aby się starali, jakoby w dobrych uczynkach przodkowali, którzy uwierzyli Bogu.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Porque também nós éramos outrora insensatos, desobedientes, extraviados, servindo a várias paixões e deleites, vivendo em malícia e inveja odiosos e odiando-nos uns aos outros. ⁴ Mas quando apareceu a bondade de Deus, nosso Salvador e o seu amor para com os homens, ⁵ não em virtude de obras de justiça que nós houvéssemos feito, mas segundo a sua misericórdia, nos salvou mediante o lavar da regeneração e renovação pelo Espírito Santo, ⁶ que ele derramou abundantemente sobre nós por Jesus Cristo, nosso Salvador; ⁷ para que, sendo justificados pela sua graça, fôssemos feitos herdeiros segundo a esperança da vida eterna. ⁸ Fiel é esta palavra, e quero que a proclames com firmeza para que os que crêem em Deus procurem aplicar-se às boas obras. Essas coisas são boas e proveitosas aos homens.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ For også vi var engang uforstandige, ulydige, villfarende, træler av mangehånde begjæringer og lyster, vi levde i ondskap og avind, vi var forhatt og hatet hverandre; ⁴ men da Guds, vår frelsers godhet og kjærlighet til menneskene blev åpenbaret, ⁵ frelste han oss, ikke for rettferdige gjerningers skyld som vi hadde gjort, men efter sin miskunn, ved badet til gjenfødelse og fornyelse ved den Hellige Ånd, ⁶ som han rikelig har utøst over oss ved Jesus Kristus, vår frelser. ⁷ forat vi, rettferdiggjort ved hans nåde, efter håpet skulde bli arvinger til det evige liv. ⁸ Det er et troverdig ord, og dette vil jeg at du skal innprente, forat de som tror på Gud, må legge vinn på å gjøre gode gjerninger. Dette er godt og nyttig for menneskene;

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Căci şi noi eram altă dată fără minte, neascultători, rătăciţi, robiţi de tot felul de pofte şi de plăceri, trăind în răutate şi în pizmă, vrednici să fim urîţi şi urîndu-ne unii pe alţii. ⁴ Dar, cînd s'a arătat bunătatea lui Dumnezeu, Mîntuitorul nostru, şi dragostea Lui de oameni, ⁵ El ne -a mîntuit, nu pentru faptele, făcute de noi în neprihănire, ci pentru îndurarea Lui, prin spălarea naşterii din nou şi prin înoirea făcută de Duhul Sfînt, ⁶ pe care L -a vărsat din belşug peste noi, prin Isus Hristos, Mîntuitorul nostru; ⁷ pentruca, odată socotiţi neprihăniţi prin harul Lui, să ne facem, în nădejde, moştenitori ai vieţii vecinice. ⁸ Adevărat este cuvîntul acesta, şi vreau să spui apăsat aceste lucruri, pentruca cei ce au crezut în Dumnezeu, să caute să fie cei dintîi în fapte bune. Iată ce este bine şi de folos pentru oameni!

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Бо колись були й ми нерозсудні, неслухняні, зведені, служили різним пожадливостям та розкошам, жили в злобі та в заздрощах, бридкими були, ненавиділи один одного. ⁴ А коли з'явилась благодать та людинолюбство Спасителя, нашого Бога, ⁵ Він нас спас не з діл праведности, що ми їх учинили були, а з Своєї милости через купіль відродження й обновлення Духом Святим, ⁶ Якого Він щедро вилив на нас через Христа Ісуса, Спасителя нашого, ⁷ щоб ми виправдались Його благодаттю, і стали спадкоємцями за надією на вічне життя. ⁸ Вірне слово, і я хочу, щоб ти і про це впевняв, щоб ті, хто ввірував у Бога, дбали про добрі діла пильнувати. Для людей оце добре й корисне!

UkrainianNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Були бо колись і ми нерозумні, непокірні, і зведені слуги похотям та всяким розкошам, живучи в злобі та завистї, гидкими бувши та ненавидячи один одного. ⁴ Як же явилась благость і чоловіколюбие Спаса нашого Бога, ⁵ не з дїл праведних, що ми робили, а по своїй милости спас нас купеллю новорождення і обновлення Духа сьвятого, ⁶ котрого вилив на нас щедро через Ісуса Христа, Спасителя вашого, ⁷ щоб оправдавшись благодаттю Його, зробились ми наслїдниками по надії життя вічнього. ⁸ Вірне слово, і хочу, щоб про се ти впевняв, щоб котрі увірували в Бога, старались пильнувати добрих дїл. Добре воно і користне людям.
