OET-RV TIT Chapter 3

OETTIT 3 ©

This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

3:1 Expected behaviour

3Remind people to conform to their rulers and authorities, being obedient and ready to do anything that’s good. 2Don’t slander others, be peaceable. Don’t be strong-willed, but rather show gentleness to all people. 3We were also foolish and stubborn at one time, straying from the good and giving in to various lusts and pleasures, being mean and envious, even full of hate and hating one another. 4But when God our saviour revealed his kindness and love for humankind, 5he saved us, not because of the ‘good deeds’ that we did, but out of his mercy. He regenerated us through washing and renewed us by his holy spirit 6which he lavishly poured on us through Yeshua the messiah 7so that we might become heirs with the expectation of living forever, having been declared that we have no outstanding legal charges thanks to his grace. 8That statement can be trusted. I want you to confirm those things so that those who have believed in God will be leading in wanting to do good things. These things are good and benefit everyone.

9But avoid foolish debates, arguments about ancestry, other strife, and quarrels about the commandments because they all achieve nothing and waste time. 10Refuse to listen to a divisive person after you’ve given them two warnings 11knowing that such people condemn themselves by their corruption and sinful attitude.

3:12 Closing

12[ref]Whenever I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, you should try to meet me at Nicopolis, because I’ve decided to spend the winter there. 13[ref]Help by sending Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way so that they won’t be needing anything. 14Our people must also be learning to be leading in doing good things to meet the necessary needs so that they won’t be unproductive.

15Everyone here with me sends their greetings to you. And please greet the ones there for us who love us in the faith.

May God’s grace be with all of you.
