Titus 3:5 in Context — Titus 3

3 Porque también éramos nosotros necios en otro tiempo, rebeldes, extraviados, sirviendo á concupiscencias y deleites diversos, viviendo en malicia y en envidia, aborrecibles, aborreciendo los unos á los otros.

4 Mas cuando se manifestó la bondad de Dios nuestro Salvador, y su amor para con los hombres,

5 No por obras de justicia que nosotros habíamos hecho, mas por su misericordia nos salvó, por el lavacro de la regeneración, y de la renovación del Espíritu Santo;

6 El cual derramó en nosotros abundantemente por Jesucristo nuestro Salvador,

7 Para que, justificados por su gracia, seamos hechos herederos según la esperanza de la vida eterna.
