Titus 3:8-11

Grace That Renews and Produces Gospel-Shaped Good Works

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

8 This saying is trustworthy. And I want you to emphasize these things, so that those who have believed God will take care to devote themselves to good deeds. These things are excellent and profitable for the people.

9 But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, arguments, and quarrels about the law, because these things are pointless and worthless.

10 Reject a divisive man after a first and second admonition,

11 knowing that such a man is corrupt and sinful; he is self-condemned.
