The passage in its setting

Meeting God in a verse begins with hearing it where it lives, in the flow of Titus 3. Read it slowly, and let the focal verse settle into its own context.

1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
