4. But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared—
5. not by deeds of righteousness which we had done ourselves, but because of His mercy— He saved us through the mikveh of rebirth and renewing of the Ruach ha-Kodesh,
6. whom He abundantly poured out on us through Messiah Yeshua our Savior,
7. so that being set right by His grace, we might become heirs with the confident hope of eternal life!
8. Trustworthy is the saying, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have put their trust in God may be careful to devote themselves to good deeds. These things are good and beneficial for people.
