Titus 3 - What to Do, What Not to Do

Do: be obedient, defer to rulers and authorities, be peaceable and considerate, show true humility, be productive, and (repeated 3 times) do whatever is good

Do not: slander anyone, engage in foolish controversies, argue, quarrel about the law, speak divisively, live an unproductive life

Sounds good and seems simple enough.  Actually it's impossible, which is why verses 4-7 are so important.

"But when the kindness of God our Savior 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 Savior, so that having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life." !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
