Titus 3:5

5he saved us, anot because of works done by us in righteousness, but baccording to his own mercy, by cthe washing of regeneration and drenewal of the Holy Spirit,

2 Peter 1:5-9

5For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith ewith virtue,
Or excellence; twice in this verse
and virtue gwith knowledge,
6and knowledge with self-control, and self-control hwith steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, 7and godliness iwith brotherly affection, and brotherly affection jwith love. 8For if these qualities
Greek  these things; also verses 9, 10, 12
are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or lunfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he mis blind, having forgotten that he was ncleansed from his former sins.
