Text:

Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do
whatever is good, to slander no-one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true
humility towards all men.
At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions
and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the
kindness and love of God our Saviour appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things
we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal
by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Saviour,
so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal
life. This is a trustworthy saying.

And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful
to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for
everyone.
