Titus — 3
Do What Is Good
1 Remind the believers to submit to the government and its officers. They should be obedient, always ready to do what is good.
2 They must not slander anyone and 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 and became slaves to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy, and we hated each other.
4 But When 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH our Savior revealed his kindness and love,
5 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the RUACH Ha'Qadash.
6 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH generously poured out the RUACH upon us through 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA Ha'Mashyach our Savior.
7 Because of His favor he declared us righteous and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life.
8 This is a trustworthy saying, and I want you to insist on these teachings so that all who trust in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will devote themselves to doing good. These teachings are good and beneficial for everyone.
9 Do not get involved in foolish discussions about the Ruach pedigrees or in quarrels and fights about obedience to Yahudym laws. These things are useless and a waste of time.
10 If people are causing divisions among you, give a first and second warning. After that, have nothing more to do with them.
11 For people like that have turned away from the truth, and their own sins condemn them.
Shaul’s Final Remarks and Greetings
12 I am planning to send either Artemas or Tychicus to you. As soon as one of them arrives, do your best to meet me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to stay there for the winter.
13 Do everything you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos with their trip. See that they are given everything they need.
14 Our people must learn to do good by meeting the urgent needs of others; then they will not be unproductive.
15 Everybody here sends greetings. Please give my greetings to the believers, all who love us. May the favor of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH be with you all.
