Titus 3:5
“not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,”
Verse in context — Titus 3
3
For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4
But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,
5
not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
6
whom he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior;
7
that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
