Titus 3:4

2 to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men.

3 For ^awe 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 ^athe kindness and the love of ^bGod our Savior toward man appeared,

5 ^anot by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through ^bthe washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

6 ^awhom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

7 that having been justified by His grace ^awe should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

8 ^aThis is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

9 But ^aavoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless.

What Does Titus 3:4 Mean?

Titus 3:1-7

By the grace of God, we have been given a rare and wonderful opportunity to rise above the rest of humanity. We are now heirs of God, possessors of the hope of eternal life and of the knowledge of God's purpose. We are, as Jesus said, to be lights shining in the darkness of this evil age. So, Paul says, it is our responsibility as God's children in this world to fight the evil human nature within us and instead to display the nature of God in all of our actions—toward the world and toward one another—as we prepare for our ultimate work in His Kingdom.
