Titus 3:4-7

“But, when the kindness of God our Savior and his love for humanity appeared, he saved us, not as the result of any righteous actions that we had done, but due to his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the power of the Holy Spirit, which he poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior – so that, having been put right with God through his grace, we become heirs to the hope of eternal life.”
