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.
