PutG5279 themG846 in mindG5279 to be subjectG5293 to principalitiesG746 andG2532 powersG1849, to obey magistratesG3980, to beG1511 readyG2092 toG4314 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041,
To speak evil ofG987 no manG3367, to beG1511 no brawlersG269, but gentleG1933, shewingG1731 allG3956 meeknessG4236 untoG4314 allG3956 menG444.
ForG1063 we ourselvesG2249 alsoG2532 wereG2258+G453 sometimesG4218 foolishG453, disobedientG545, deceivedG4105, servingG1398 diversG4164 lustsG1939 andG2532 pleasuresG2237, livingG1236 inG1722 maliceG2549 andG2532 envyG5355, hatefulG4767, and hatingG3404 one anotherG240.
ButG1161 afterG3753 that the kindnessG5544 andG2532 loveG5363 of GodG2316 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 toward manG5363 appearedG2014, {love: or, pity}
NotG3756 byG1537 worksG2041 ofG1722 righteousnessG1343 whichG3739 weG2249 have doneG4160, butG235 according toG2596 hisG846 mercyG1656 he savedG4982 usG2248, byG1223 the washingG3067 of regenerationG3824, andG2532 renewingG342 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151;
WhichG3739 he shedG1632 onG1909 usG2248 abundantlyG4146 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 SaviourG4990; {abundantly: Gr. richly}
ThatG2443 being justified byG1344 hisG1565 graceG5485, we should be madeG1096 heirsG2818 according toG2596 the hopeG1680 of eternalG166 lifeG2222.
This is a faithfulG4103 sayingG3056, andG2532 these thingsG4012+G5130 I willG1014 that thouG4571 affirm constantlyG1226, thatG2443 they which have believedG4100 in GodG2316 might be carefulG5431 to maintainG4291 goodG2570 worksG2041. These thingsG5023 areG2076 goodG2570 andG2532 profitableG5624 unto menG444.
ButG1161 avoidG4026 foolishG3474 questionsG2214, andG2532 genealogiesG1076, andG2532 contentionsG2054, andG2532 strivings aboutG3163 the lawG3544; forG1063 they areG1526 unprofitableG512 andG2532 vainG3152.
A manG444 that is an heretickG141 afterG3326 the firstG3391 andG2532 secondG1208 admonitionG3559 rejectG3868;
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 he that is suchG5108 is subvertedG1612, andG2532 sinnethG264, beingG5607 condemned of himselfG843.
WhenG3752 I shall sendG3992 ArtemasG734 untoG4314 theeG4571, orG2228 TychicusG5190, be diligentG4704 to comeG2064 untoG4314 meG3165 toG1519 NicopolisG3533: forG1063 I have determinedG2919 thereG1563 to winterG3914.
BringG4311 ZenasG2211 the lawyerG3544 andG2532 ApollosG625 on their journeyG4311 diligentlyG4709, thatG2443 nothingG3367 be wantingG3007 unto themG846.
AndG1161 letG3129 oursG2251 alsoG2532 learnG3129 to maintainG4291 goodG2570 worksG2041 forG1519 necessaryG316 usesG5532, thatG3363 they beG5600 notG3363 unfruitfulG175. {maintain…: or, profess honest trades}
AllG3956 that are withG3326 meG1700 saluteG782 theeG4571. GreetG782 them that loveG5368 usG2248 inG1722 the faithG4102. GraceG5485 be withG3326 youG5216 allG3956. AmenG281. {It was written to Titus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Cretians, from Nicopolis of Macedonia.}

If I justifyH6663 myself, mine own mouthH6310 shall condemnH7561 me: if I say, I am perfectH8535, it shall also prove me perverseH6140.
ButG1161 afterG3753 that the kindnessG5544 andG2532 loveG5363 of GodG2316 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 toward manG5363 appearedG2014, {love: or, pity}
JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, ExceptG3362 a manG5100 be bornG1080 againG509, he cannotG1410+G3756 seeG1492 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. {again: or, from above}
NicodemusG3530 saithG3004 untoG4314 himG846, HowG4459 canG1410 a manG444 be bornG1080 when he isG5607 oldG1088? canG3361+G1410 he enterG1525 the second timeG1208 intoG1519 hisG846 mother'sG3384 wombG2836, andG2532 be bornG1080?
JesusG2424 answeredG611, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto theeG4671, ExceptG3362 a manG5100 be bornG1080 ofG1537 waterG5204 andG2532 of the SpiritG4151, he cannotG3756+G1410 enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
CreateH1254 in me a cleanH2889 heartH3820, O GodH430; and renewH2318 a rightH3559 spiritH7307 withinH7130 me. {right: or, constant}
What is manH582, that he should be cleanH2135? and he which is bornH3205 of a womanH802, that he should be righteousH6663?
Also unto thee, O LordH136, belongeth mercyH2617: for thou renderestH7999 to every manH376 according to his workH4639.
AndG2532 suchG5023 wereG2258 some of youG5100: butG235 ye are washedG628, butG235 ye are sanctifiedG37, butG235 ye are justifiedG1344 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 byG1722 the SpiritG4151 of ourG2257 GodG2316.
AndG2532 beG4964 notG3361 conformedG4964 to thisG5129 worldG165: butG235 be ye transformedG3339 by the renewingG342 of yourG5216 mindG3563, thatG1519 yeG5209 may proveG1381 whatG5101 is that goodG18, andG2532 acceptableG2101, andG2532 perfectG5046, willG2307 of GodG2316.
How then can manH582 be justifiedH6663 with GodH410? or how can he be cleanH2135 that is bornH3205 of a womanH802?
For thou, LordH136, art goodH2896, and ready to forgiveH5546; and plenteousH7227 in mercyH2617 unto all them that callH7121 upon thee.
ThatG2443 heG846 might sanctifyG37 and cleanse itG2511 with the washingG3067 of waterG5204 byG1722 the wordG4487,
And enterH935 not into judgmentH4941 with thy servantH5650: for in thy sightH6440 shall no man livingH2416 be justifiedH6663.
But thou, O LordH136, art a GodH410 full of compassionH7349, and graciousH2587, longsufferingH750+H639, and plenteousH7227 in mercyH2617 and truthH571.
The like figureG499 whereuntoG3739 even baptismG908 dothG4982 alsoG2532 nowG3568 saveG4982 usG2248 (notG3756 the putting awayG595 of the filthG4509 of the fleshG4561, butG235 the answerG1906 of a goodG18 conscienceG4893 towardG1519 GodG2316,) byG1223 the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
AndG2532 have put onG1746 the newG3501 man, whichG3588 is renewedG341 inG1519 knowledgeG1922 afterG2596 the image of himG1504 that createdG2936 himG846:
I will declareH5046 thy righteousnessH6666, and thy worksH4639; for they shall not profitH3276 thee.
Let IsraelH3478 hopeH3176 in the LORDH3068: for with the LORDH3068 there is mercyH2617, and with him is plenteousH7235 redemptionH6304.
IfG2532 they shall fall awayG3895, to renew themG340 againG3825 untoG1519 repentanceG3341; seeing they crucifyG388 to themselvesG1438 the SonG5207 of GodG2316 afreshG388, andG2532 put him to an open shameG3856.
AndG1161 he answeringG611 saidG2036, Thou shalt loveG25 the LordG2962 thyG4675 GodG2316 withG1537 allG3650 thyG4675 heartG2588, andG2532 withG1537 allG3650 thyG4675 soulG5590, andG2532 withG1537 allG3650 thyG4675 strengthG2479, andG2532 withG1537 allG3650 thyG4675 mindG1271; andG2532 thyG4675 neighbourG4139 asG5613 thyselfG4572.
AndG1161 he saidG2036 unto himG846, Thou hast answeredG611 rightG3723: thisG5124 doG4160, andG2532 thou shalt liveG2198.
ButG1161 he, willingG2309 to justifyG1344 himselfG1438, saidG2036 untoG4314 JesusG2424, AndG2532 whoG5101 isG2076 myG3450 neighbourG4139?
Who is a GodH410 like unto thee, that pardonethH5375 iniquityH5771, and passeth byH5674 the transgressionH6588 of the remnantH7611 of his heritageH5159? he retainethH2388 not his angerH639 for everH5703, because he delightethH2654 in mercyH2617.
ThereforeG1360 byG1537 the deedsG2041 of the lawG3551 there shallG1344 noG3956+G3756 fleshG4561 be justifiedG1344 in hisG846 sightG1799: forG1063 byG1223 the lawG3551 is the knowledgeG1922 of sinG266.
AndG2532 hisG846 mercyG1656 is on them that fearG5399 himG846 fromG1519 generationG1074 to generationG1074.
ThereforeG3767 we concludeG3049 that a manG444 is justifiedG1344 by faithG4102 withoutG5565 the deedsG2041 of the lawG3551.
ButG1161 to him that workethG2038 notG3361, butG1161 believethG4100 onG1909 him that justifiethG1344 the ungodlyG765, hisG846 faithG4102 is countedG3049 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
To performG4160 the mercyG1656 promised toG3326 ourG2257 fathersG3962, andG2532 to rememberG3415 hisG846 holyG40 covenantG1242;
(ForG1063 the children beingG1080 not yetG3380 bornG1080, neitherG3366 having doneG4238 anyG5100 goodG18 orG2228 evilG2556, thatG2443 the purposeG4286 of GodG2316 accordingG2596 to electionG1589 might standG3306, notG3756 ofG1537 worksG2041, butG235 ofG1537 him that callethG2564;)
ThroughG1223 the tenderG4698 mercyG1656 of ourG2257 GodG2316; wherebyG1722+G3739 the dayspringG395 fromG1537 on highG5311 hath visitedG1980 usG2248, {tender…: or, bowels of the mercy} {dayspring: or, Sunrising, or, branch, Zac.3.8, esay II, I Malich.4.2, numb.24.17}
SoG686 thenG3767 it is notG3756 of him that willethG2309, norG3761 of him that runnethG5143, butG235 of GodG2316 that sheweth mercyG1653.
ToG1519 the praiseG1868 of the gloryG1391 of hisG846 graceG5485, whereinG1722+G3739 he hath madeG5487 usG2248 acceptedG5487 inG1722 the belovedG25.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767? ThatG3754 the GentilesG1484, whichG3588 followedG1377 notG3361 after righteousnessG1343, have attainedG2638 to righteousnessG1343, evenG1161 the righteousnessG1343 whichG3588 is ofG1537 faithG4102.
InG1722 whomG3739 we haveG2192 redemptionG629 throughG1223 hisG846 bloodG129, the forgivenessG859 of sinsG3900, accordingG2596 to the richesG4149 of hisG846 graceG5485;
AndG1161 ifG1487 by graceG5485, then is it no moreG2089+G3765 ofG1537 worksG2041: otherwiseG1893 graceG5485 isG1096 no moreG2089+G3765 graceG5485. ButG1161 ifG1487 it be ofG1537 worksG2041, then is itG2076 no moreG2089+G3765 graceG5485: otherwiseG1893 workG2041 isG2076 no moreG2089+G3765 workG2041.
Let usG4334 thereforeG3767 comeG4334 boldlyG3326+G3954 unto the throneG2362 of graceG5485, thatG2443 we may obtainG2983 mercyG1656, andG2532 findG2147 graceG5485 to helpG996 inG1519 time of needG2121.
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 a manG444 isG1344 notG3756 justifiedG1344 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551, butG3362 byG1223 the faithG4102 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, evenG2532 weG2249 have believedG4100 inG1519 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, thatG2443 we might be justifiedG1344 byG1537 the faithG4102 of ChristG5547, andG2532 notG3756 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551: forG1360 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551 shallG1344 noG3756+G3956 fleshG4561 be justifiedG1344.
BlessedG2128 be the GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whichG3588 according toG2596 hisG846 abundantG4183 mercyG1656 hath begottenG313 usG2248 againG313 untoG1519 a livelyG2198 hopeG1680 byG1223 the resurrectionG386 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 fromG1537 the deadG3498, {abundant: Gr. much}
NowG1161 to AbrahamG11 andG2532 hisG846 seedG4690 wereG4483 the promisesG1860 madeG4483. He saithG3004 notG3756, AndG2532 to seedsG4690, asG5613 ofG1909 manyG4183; butG235 asG5613 ofG1909 oneG1520, AndG2532 to thyG4675 seedG4690, whichG3739 isG2076 ChristG5547.
AndG1161 thisG5124 I sayG3004, that the covenantG1242, that was confirmed beforeG4300 ofG5259 GodG2316 inG1519 ChristG5547, the lawG3551, which wasG1096 four hundredG5071 andG2532 thirtyG5144 yearsG2094 afterG3326, cannotG3756 disannulG208, thatG1519 it should makeG2673 the promiseG1860 of none effectG2673.
ForG1063 ifG1487 the inheritanceG2817 be ofG1537 the lawG3551, it is no moreG3765 ofG1537 promiseG1860: butG1161 GodG2316 gaveG5483 it to AbrahamG11 byG1223 promiseG1860.
WhereforeG5101 thenG3767 serveth the lawG3551? It was addedG4369 because ofG5484 transgressionsG3847, tillG891+G3739 the seedG4690 should comeG2064 to whomG3739 the promise was madeG1861; and it was ordainedG1299 byG1223 angelsG32 inG1722 the handG5495 of a mediatorG3316.
NowG1161 a mediatorG3316 isG2076 notG3756 a mediator of oneG1520, butG1161 GodG2316 isG2076 oneG1520.
Is the lawG3551 thenG3767 againstG2596 the promisesG1860 of GodG2316? God forbidG3361+G1096: forG1063 ifG1487 there had beenG1325 a lawG3551 givenG1325 whichG3588 couldG1410 have given lifeG2227, verilyG3689 righteousnessG1343 shouldG302 have beenG2258 byG1537 the lawG3551.
WhichG3588 in time pastG4218 were notG3756 a peopleG2992, butG1161 are nowG3568 the peopleG2992 of GodG2316: whichG3588 hadG1653 notG3756 obtained mercyG1653, butG1161 nowG3568 have obtained mercyG1653.
ButG1161 GodG2316, who isG5607 richG4145 inG1722 mercyG1656, forG1223 hisG846 greatG4183 loveG26 wherewithG3739 he lovedG25 usG2248,
ForG1063 by graceG5485 are yeG2075 savedG4982 throughG1223 faithG4102; andG2532 thatG5124 notG3756 ofG1537 yourselvesG5216: it is the giftG1435 of GodG2316:
WhoG3588 hath savedG4982 usG2248, andG2532 calledG2564 us with an holyG40 callingG2821, notG3756 according toG2596 ourG2257 worksG2041, butG235 according toG2596 his ownG2398 purposeG4286 andG2532 graceG5485, whichG3588 was givenG1325 usG2254 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 beforeG4253 the world beganG5550+G166,
