          Paul’s Letter To Titus

9 - Bondservants (paying of a debt/agreement/bond by working, today employees) should work well and be respectful, not argumentative or resentful. 10 Not pilfering, but showing all good faith in everything, so they may adorn the news of God our Savior.

     11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, 12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly longings, to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age. 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness {and entropy! imperfection/entropy (death)} and to purify to himself a people for his own who are zealous [zélótés - zealot(!) enthusiastic, fervent in support] for good [kalos - good, beautiful, noble, excellent, honorable] works [ergon]. 15 Declare these things Titus. Urge, encourage and convince with all authority. Let no one disregard you! {Because he was young?}
