1Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,1Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people.2To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
3For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another.3For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared,4But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,5Not 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;
6whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,6Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.7That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people.8This 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.
9But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.9But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him,10A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
11knowing that such a person is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.11Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
12When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.12When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
13Do your best to speed Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way; see that they lack nothing.13Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
14And let our people learn to devote themselves to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need, and not be unfruitful.14And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
15All who are with me send greetings to you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.15All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
