THIS MESSAGE

He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that

we had done, but because of His own pity and mercy by the

cleansing of the new birth and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

Whom He bestowed so richly upon us through Jesus Christ

our Savior.

That we might be justified by His grace, (that we might be

acknowledged as conformed to the divine will in purpose,

thought and action), and that we might become heirs of

eternal life according to our hope.

This message is most trustworthy, and concerning these

things I want you to insist steadfastly, so that those who have

believed in God may be careful to apply themselves to honorable

occupations and to doing good, for such things are not only excellent

and right, but also good and profitable for the people.
