Titus 3:3-7

3For awe ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. 4But when bthe goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5he saved us, cnot because of works done by us in righteousness, but daccording to his own mercy, by ethe washing of regeneration and frenewal of the Holy Spirit, 6whom he gpoured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7so that hbeing justified by his grace we might become iheirs jaccording to the hope of eternal life.
