| 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. |
| 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. |
