Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

not by works done in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

not as the result of any righteous actions that we had done, but in fulfillment of his merciful purposes. He saved us by that washing which was a new birth to us, and by the renewing power of the Holy Spirit,

errettete er uns, nicht aus Werken, die, in Gerechtigkeit vollbracht, wir getan hatten, sondern nach seiner Barmherzigkeit durch die Waschung der Wiedergeburt und Erneuerung des Heiligen Geistes,

No por obras de justicia que nosotros habíamos hecho, mas por su misericordia nos salvó, por el lavacro de la regeneración, y de la renovación del Espíritu Santo;

Não pelas obras de justiça que nós tivéssemos feito, mas sim segundo sua misericórdia, ele nos salvou pelo banho do novo nascimento, e da renovação do Espírito Santo;

Ele nos salvou, lavando-nos mediante o novo nascimento, e renovando-nos pelo Espírito Santo, não pelas obras que havíamos feito em justiça, mas de acordo com a Sua misericórdia.
