Likewise, let no one blaspheme a predatory and ill-treated person; let him never quarrel with him, Titus 3:2. - but let everyone show meekness to all people, - and they must show their quiet humility not only in relation to their fellow believers, but also in relation to all people. Titus 3:3. For... there was once... and we the same as they were - and in those vices to which they now indulge, we also revolved - and we also committed those actions that we do not want to see in them. slaves to various lusts in which they dwell, we also revolve; We were God and persecuted each other with hatred just as they did. favor of philanthropy I appeared Titus 3:5. - not according to the works of righteousness which we have done, for we have done the deeds of iniquity which I have enumerated above, – but by... grace...
