Daily Bible Reading and Prayer, KJV, May 10-Nov 9, 2018, Acts to Hebrews

Oct 16, Titus 3

Titus 3:1-15 KJV
[1] Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

[2] To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

[3] For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

[4] But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,

[5] 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;

[6] Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

[7] That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
By His grace, not by our works.

[8] 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.

[9] But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
I feel like this verse could also be talking about unnecessary divisions of different denominations. Some people think that the denomination they are in is completely perfect and everyone else is wrong. That is a wrong way of thinking, every denomination made by humans has faults. Some do have some pretty major faults that should be addressed, but many minor faults and differences, there is no need to argue over.

[10] A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
Heretick is just a different way of spelling heretic.

[11] Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

[12] When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.

[13] Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.

[14] And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.

[15] All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
Amen.
