Titus 3:8-15

New International Version

⁸ This is a trustworthy saying.^(A) And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good.^(B) These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.

⁹ But avoid^(C) foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels^(D) about the law,^(E) because these are unprofitable and useless.^{(F) 10} Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them.^{(G) 11} You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned.

Final Remarks

¹² As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus^(H) to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there.^{(I) 13} Do everything you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos^(J) on their way and see that they have everything they need. ¹⁴ Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good,^(K) in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives.

¹⁵ Everyone with me sends you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith.^(L)

Grace be with you all.^(M)
