^{Titus  3:3-7
3} For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.
⁴ But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared,
⁵ not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,  
⁶ whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,  
⁷ that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
