¶ Fè yo chonje se pou yo soumèt devan tout chèf ak tout otorite, pou yo obeyi yo, pou yo toujou pare pou fè tou sa ki byen.

Yo pa dwe nan pale moun mal, yo pa dwe nan fè kont ak pesonn. Se pou yo gen pasyans ak tout moun, se pou yo aji ak dousè ak tout moun.

Paske, nou menm tou, nan tan lontan nou te tankou moun fou, nou pa t' obeyisan devan Bondye, nou te tankou moun ki pèdi chemen yo. Nou te esklav tout kalite move dezi ak move plezi. Nou t'ap viv ak mechanste, ak jalouzi nan kè nou. Moun te rayi nou, epi nou menm, nou te rayi yo tou.

Men, lè Bondye fè nou wè jan li gen bon kè, jan li renmen tout moun,

li te delivre nou. Li pa t' delivre nou paske nou te fè kèk bagay ki bon, men paske li menm li te gen pitye pou nou. Li delivre nou lè li lave nou, li voye pouvwa Sentespri li nan nou pou chanje nou nèt, pou n' te ka viv yon lòt jan.

Bondye voye Sentespri li sou nou an kantite, gremesi Jezi, Kris la, ki delivre nou.

Avèk favè sa a Bondye fè nou an, li fè nou gras. Koulye a nou ka resevwa sa n'ap tann lan: lavi ki p'ap janm fini an.

Sa se pawòl sèten. Mwen ta renmen ou peze sou bagay sa yo anpil pou tout moun ki mete konfyans yo nan Bondye ka okipe tout tan yo ap fè sa ki byen. Se bagay konsa ki bon, ki kapab sèvi tout moun.

¶ Pa antre nan okenn vye diskisyon san sans, ni nan chache konnen non gran granparan moun, ni nan chache kont, ni nan goumen pou lalwa Moyiz la. Bagay sa yo pa sèvi anyen, yo pa vo anyen.

10 Si yon moun vle mete divizyon, pale avè l' yon premye fwa, yon dezyèm fwa. Si li pa koute ou, pa okipe li.

11 Paske ou konnen byen yon moun konsa fin pèdi. Sè pwòp peche li yo k'ap kondannen li.

12 Lè m'a voye Atemas osinon Tichik ba ou, fè posib ou pou ou vin jwenn mwen lavil Nikopolis, paske se la mwen fè lide pase sezon fredi a.

13 Fè sa ou kapab pou mèt Zenas, avoka a, ansanm ak Apolòs, pou yo pa manke anyen pou vwayaj yo a.

14 Se pou moun nou yo aprann fè sa ki byen tou, pou yo bay lè gen ka nesesite. Yo pa fèt pou y'ap viv konsa san yo pa bay anyen.

15 Tout moun ki avè m' yo voye bonjou pou ou. Di tout zanmi nou nan lafwa yo bonjou. Mwen mande pou Bondye ban nou tout favè li.

正确的生活道路

你要不断地提醒众人,叫他们顺从统治者和当权者,要服从他们,要随时随地乐于行善。 不要诽谤人,要爱好和平,要温和,以礼待人。

因为我们也曾愚昧、不顺从,并上当受骗,我们也曾是各种欲望和享乐的奴隶,生活在罪恶和嫉妒之中,我们曾被人憎恨,也曾彼此憎恨过。 但是当我们的救主-上帝显示他对人类的爱时, 他拯救了我们,不是因为我们的行为,而是靠他的怜悯、重生的洗礼和使我们更新的圣灵。 上帝通过耶稣基督,我们的救世主,慷慨地把圣灵倾注给了我们, 所以,现在我们靠上帝的恩典,在他面前是清白的,从而得以成为他的继承人,实现了我们对永生的盼望。 这是可以信赖的话。

我要你强调这些事,以便使信仰上帝的人关心行善,这些是美好的,有利于人民。

但是要避免愚蠢的争议,避免家谱和律法问题上的争论,因为这些事情即无益,也无用。 10 如果一个人受了一两次警告后,依旧引起分歧,就要疏远他, 11 因为你知道,这样的人已经背道而驰,在犯罪,他已经为自己定了罪。

最后的指示和问候

12 我派亚提马或推基古去你那里后,你要尽快到尼哥波立来见我,因为我已经决定在那里过冬。 13 尽力帮助西纳律师和亚波罗,帮他们准备好旅行的一切,不要让他们缺少什么。 14 我们的人应该关心一心行善,帮助有需要的人们,免得他们没有成效。

15 所有和我在一起的人都问你好,也向那些在信仰里爱我们的人问好!愿上帝的恩典与你们所有的人同在。

Saved in Order to Do Good

Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities,(A) to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good,(B) to slander no one,(C) to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.

At one time(D) we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness(E) and love of God our Savior(F) appeared,(G) he saved us,(H) not because of righteous things we had done,(I) but because of his mercy.(J) He saved us through the washing(K) of rebirth and renewal(L) by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us(M) generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace,(N) we might become heirs(O) having the hope(P) of eternal life.(Q) This is a trustworthy saying.(R) And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good.(S) These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.

But avoid(T) foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels(U) about the law,(V) because these are unprofitable and useless.(W) 10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them.(X) 11 You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned.

Final Remarks

12 As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus(Y) to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there.(Z) 13 Do everything you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos(AA) on their way and see that they have everything they need. 14 Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good,(AB) in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives.

15 Everyone with me sends you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith.(AC)

Grace be with you all.(AD)

Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,

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;

Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

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.

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 our's 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.
