Titus 3:3-7

Titus 3:3 (ESV)
"For we 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. 3:4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared,3:5 He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to His own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 3:6 whom He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,3:7
so that being justified by His grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life."
