First Reading
Titus 3:1-7
Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.
1Admonish them to be subject to leaders and powers, to obey at a word, to be ready to every good work.
2To speak evil of no man, not to be litigious, but gentle: shewing all mildness towards all men.
3For we ourselves also were some time unwise, incredulous, erring, slaves to divers desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4But when the goodness and kindness of God our Savior appeared:
5Not by the works of righteousness, which we have done, but according to his mercy, he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and renovation of the Holy Ghost;
6Whom he has poured forth upon us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Savior:
7That, being justified by his grace, we may be heirs, according to hope of life eternal.
