CHAP. III.

1 Titus is yet further directed by Paul, both concerning the things he should teach, and not teach. 10 He is willed also to reiect obstinate Heretikes: 12 which done, hee appointeth him both time and place, wherein hee should come vnto him, & so concludeth.

¹Put them in minde to bee subiect to Principalities & Powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to euery good worke,

²To speake euill of no man, to bee no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekenesse vnto all men.

³For we our selues also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceiued, seruing diuers lusts and pleasures, liuing in malice and enuy, hatefull, and hating one another.

⁴But after that the kindnesse and loue of God our Sauiour toward man appeared,⁴

⁵Not by workes of righteousnesse which wee haue done, but according to his mercy he saued vs, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the holy Ghost,

⁶Which hee shed on vs abundantly, through Iesus Christ our Sauiour:⁶

⁷That being iustified by his grace, we should bee made heires according to the hope of eternall life.

⁸This is a faithfull saying, and these things I will that thou affirme constantly, that they which haue beleeued in God, might be carefull to maintaine good works: these things are good and profitable vnto men.

⁹But auoyd foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and striuings about the lawe; for they are vnprofitable and vaine.

¹⁰A man that is an heretike, after the first and second admonition, reiect:

¹¹Knowing that hee that is such, is subuerted, and sinneth, being condemned of himselfe.

¹²When I shall send Artemas vnto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come vnto mee to Nicopolis: for I haue determined there to winter.
