56:003:004 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
56:003:005 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
56:003:006 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
56:003:007 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
56:003:008 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
56:003:009 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
56:003:010 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
56:003:011 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
56:003:012 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
