My BibleWalk is my sharing of verses for the day...
Titus 3:1-15
1 Remind your people to submit to the government and its officers. They should be obedient always and ready to do what is good.
2 They must not speak evil of anyone and they must avoid quarreling. Instead they should be gentle and show true humility to everyone.
3 Once we, too were foolish and disobedient. We were misled by others and became slaves to many wicked desires and evil pleasures. Our lives were full of of evil and envy. We hated others, and they hated us. 4 But then God our Saviour showed us his kindness and love.
5 He saved us, not because of the good things we did, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins and gave us a new life through the Holy Spirit.
6 He generously poured out the Spirit upon us because of what Jesus Christ our Saviour did.
7 He declared us not guilty because of his great kindness. And now we know that we will inherit eternal life.
8 These things I have told you are all true. I want you to insist on them so that everyone who trusts in God will be careful to do good deeds all the time. These things are good and beneficial for everyone.
9 Do not get involved in foolish discussions about spiritual pedigrees or in quarrels and fights about obedience to Jewish laws. These kinds of things are useless and a waste of times.
10 If anyone is causing divisions among you, give a first and second warning. After that, have nothing to with that person.
11 For people like that have turned away from the truth. They are sinning, and they condemn themselves.
