Emily: In Titus 3, Paul tells us that we must not slander anyone and avoid quarreling. He tells us to show true humilty to everyone. He reminds us that God revealed his kindness and love to us through his son, when he came and washed away our sins. He reminds us about our new life with Jesus Christ. And that he poured out his spirit on us through Jesus. Because of his grace, he declared us righteous and gave us the confidence of salvation.

Laura: Paul tells us to submit to authority. We must show humility. We aren't supposed to judge others. Paul says that no one has the right to cast judgement because we aren't holy either.
