*
Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities ,
to obey ,
to be ready for every good work ,
*
to speak evil of no one ,
to be peaceable ,
gentle ,
showing all humility to all men .
*
For we ourselves were also once foolish ,
disobedient ,
deceived ,
serving various lusts and pleasures ,
living in malice and envy ,
hateful and hating one another .
*
But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared ,
*
not by works of righteousness which we have done ,
but according to His mercy He saved us ,
through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit ,
*
whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior ,
*
that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life .
*
This is a faithful saying ,
and these things I want you to affirm constantly ,
that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works .
These things are good and profitable to men .
*
But avoid foolish disputes ,
genealogies ,
contentions ,
and strivings about the law ;
for they are unprofitable and useless .
*
Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition ,
*
knowing that such a person is warped and sinning ,
being self-condemned .
*
When I send Artemas to you ,
or Tychicus ,
be diligent to come to me at Nicopolis ,
for I have decided to spend the winter there .
*
Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey with haste ,
that they may lack nothing .
*
And let our people also learn to maintain good works ,
to meet urgent needs ,
that they may not be unfruitful .
*
All who are with me greet you .
Greet those who love us in the faith .
Grace be with you all .
Amen .
