1PutG5279 themG846 in mindG5279 to be subjectG5293 to principalitiesG746 andG2532 powersG1849, to obey magistratesG3980, to beG1511 readyG2092 toG4314 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041, 2To speak evil ofG987 no manG3367, to beG1511 no brawlersG269, but gentleG1933, showingG1731 allG3956 meeknessG4236 toG4314 allG3956 menG444. 3ForG1063 we ourselvesG2249 alsoG2532 wereG2258G453 onceG4218 foolishG453, disobedientG545, deceivedG4105, servingG1398 variousG4164 lustsG1939 andG2532 pleasuresG2237, livingG1236 inG1722 maliceG2549 andG2532 envyG5355, hatefulG4767, and hatingG3404 one anotherG240. 4ButG1161 whenG3753 the kindnessG5544 andG2532 loveG5363 of GodG2316 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 toward manG5363 appearedG2014,1 5NotG3756 byG1537 worksG2041 ofG1722 righteousnessG1343 whichG3739 weG2249 have doneG4160, butG235 according toG2596 hisG846 mercyG1656 he savedG4982 usG2248, byG1223 the washingG3067 of regenerationG3824, andG2532 renewingG342 of the HolyG40 SpiritG4151; 6WhomG3739 he shedG1632 onG1909 usG2248 abundantlyG4146 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 SaviourG4990;2 7ThatG2443 being justified byG1344 hisG1565 graceG5485, we should be madeG1096 heirsG2818 according toG2596 the hopeG1680 of eternalG166 lifeG2222. 8This is a faithfulG4103 sayingG3056, andG2532 these thingsG4012G5130 I willG1014 that thouG4571 affirm constantlyG1226, thatG2443 they who have believedG4100 in GodG2316 may be carefulG5431 to maintainG4291 goodG2570 worksG2041. These thingsG5023 areG2076 goodG2570 andG2532 profitableG5624 to menG444.

9ButG1161 avoidG4026 foolishG3474 questionsG2214, andG2532 genealogiesG1076, andG2532 contentionsG2054, andG2532 strivings aboutG3163 the lawG3544; forG1063 they areG1526 unprofitableG512 andG2532 vainG3152. 10A manG444 that is an hereticG141 afterG3326 the firstG3391 andG2532 secondG1208 admonitionG3559 rejectG3868; 11KnowingG1492 thatG3754 he who is suchG5108 is subvertedG1612, andG2532 sinnethG264, beingG5607 condemned by himselfG843. 12WhenG3752 I shall sendG3992 ArtemasG734 toG4314 theeG4571, orG2228 TychicusG5190, be diligentG4704 to comeG2064 toG4314 meG3165 toG1519 NicopolisG3533: forG1063 I have determinedG2919 thereG1563 to winterG3914. 13BringG4311 ZenasG2211 the lawyerG3544 andG2532 ApollosG625 on their journeyG4311 diligentlyG4709, thatG2443 nothingG3367 may be wantingG3007 to themG846. 14AndG1161 letG3129 oursG2251 alsoG2532 learnG3129 to maintainG4291 goodG2570 worksG2041 forG1519 necessaryG316 usesG5532, thatG3363 they may notG3363 beG5600 unfruitfulG175.3 15AllG3956 that are withG3326 meG1700 greetG782 theeG4571. GreetG782 them that loveG5368 usG2248 inG1722 the faithG4102. GraceG5485 be withG3326 youG5216 allG3956. AmenG281.
