1 Put them in mind to be sub­ject to prin­ci­pal­i­ties and pow­ers, to obey mag­is­trates, to be ready to ev­ery good work, 2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gen­tle, shew­ing all meek­ness unto all men. 3 For we our­selves also were some­times fool­ish, dis­obe­di­ent, de­ceived, serv­ing divers lusts and plea­sures, liv­ing in mal­ice and en­vy, hate­ful, and hat­ing one an­oth­er. 4 But af­ter that the kind­ness and love of God our Saviour to­ward man ap­peared, 5 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; 6 Which he shed on us abun­dant­ly through Je­sus Christ our Saviour; 7 That be­ing jus­ti­fied by his grace, we should be made heirs ac­cord­ing to the hope of eter­nal life. 8 This is a faith­ful say­ing, and these things I will that thou af­firm con­stant­ly, that they which have be­lieved in God might be care­ful to main­tain good works. These things are good and prof­itable unto men. 9 But avoid fool­ish ques­tions, and ge­nealo­gies, and con­tentions, and striv­ings about the law; for they are un­prof­itable and vain. 10 A man that is an heretick af­ter the first and sec­ond ad­mo­ni­tion re­ject; 11 Know­ing that he that is such is sub­vert­ed, and sin­neth, be­ing con­demned of him­self. 12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Ty­chi­cus, be dili­gent to come unto me to Nicopo­lis: for I have de­ter­mined there to win­ter. 13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apol­los on their jour­ney dili­gent­ly, that noth­ing be want­ing unto them. 14 And let ours also learn to main­tain good works for nec­es­sary us­es, that they be not un­fruit­ful. 15 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
