Titus 3:8

5 not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

6 which he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ, our Savior;

7 that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

8 This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, to the end that they who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;

9 but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

10 Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning;

11 knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.
