Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:

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

But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, {love: or, pity}

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;

Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; {abundantly: Gr. richly}

That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
