Emlékeztessed õket, hogy a fejedelemségeknek és hatalmasságoknak engedelmeskedjenek, hódoljanak, minden jó cselekedetre készek legyenek,

Senkit ne szidalmazzanak, ne veszekedjenek, gyöngédek legyenek, teljes szelídséget tanusítván minden ember iránt.

Mert régenten mi is esztelenek, engedetlenek, tévelygõk, különbözõ kívánságoknak és gyönyöröknek szolgái, gonoszságban és irígységben élõk, gyûlölségesek, egymást gyûlölõk valánk.

De mikor a mi megtartó Istenünknek jóvolta és az emberekhez való szeretete megjelent,

Nem az igazságnak cselekedeteibõl, a melyeket mi cselekedtünk, hanem az õ irgalmasságából tartott meg minket az újjászületésnek fürdõje és a Szent Lélek megújítása által,

Melyet kitöltött reánk bõséggel a mi megtartó Jézus Krisztusunk által;

Hogy az õ kegyelmébõl megigazulván, örökösök legyünk az örök élet reménysége szerint.

Igaz ez a beszéd, és akarom, hogy ezeket erõsítsed, hogy igyekezzenek jó cselekedetekkel elõljárni azok, a kik Istenben hívõkké lettek. Ezek jók és hasznosak az embereknek;

A balgatag vitatkozásokat azonban és a nemzetségekrõl való tudakozásokat, és a civakodást és a törvény felõl való harczokat kerüld; mert haszontalanok és hiábavalók.

10 Az eretnek embert egy vagy két intés után kerüld;

11 Tudván, hogy az ilyen romlott, és vétkezik, önmaga is kárhoztatván magát.

12 Mikor Ártemást vagy Tikhikust hozzád küldöm, siess hozzám jõni Nikápolyba; mert elhatároztam, hogy ott töltöm a telet.

13 A törvénytudó Zénást és Apollóst gondosan indítsd útnak, hogy semmiben se legyen fogyatkozásuk.

14 Tanulják meg pedig a mieink is, hogy jó cselekedetekkel járjanak elõl a szükséges hasznokra, hogy ne legyenek gyümölcstelenek.

15 Köszöntenek téged a velem levõk mindnyájan. Köszöntsd azokat, a kik szeretnek minket hitben. Kegyelem mindnyájatokkal! Ámen.

Godly Living

(A)Remind them (B)to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be (C)ready for every good deed, to malign no one, (D)to be peaceable, (E)gentle, (F)showing every consideration for all men. (G)For we also once were foolish ourselves, (H)disobedient, (I)deceived, (J)enslaved to (K)various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in (L)malice and (M)envy, hateful, hating one another. But when the (N)kindness of (O)God our Savior and His love for mankind (P)appeared, (Q)He saved us, (R)not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but (S)according to His mercy, by the (T)washing of regeneration and (U)renewing by the Holy Spirit, (V)whom He poured out upon us (W)richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace we would be made (X)heirs [a]according to the hope of eternal life. (Y)This is a trustworthy statement; and concerning these things I (Z)want you to speak confidently, so that those who have (AA)believed God will be careful to (AB)engage in good deeds. These things are good and profitable for men. But (AC)avoid (AD)foolish controversies and (AE)genealogies and strife and (AF)disputes about the Law, for they are (AG)unprofitable and worthless. 10 (AH)Reject a (AI)factious man (AJ)after a first and second warning, 11 knowing that such a man is (AK)perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned.

Personal Concerns

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.

Graces of the Heirs of Grace

Remind them (A)to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, (B)to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. For (C)we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. But when (D)the kindness and the love of (E)God our Savior toward man appeared, (F)not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through (G)the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, (H)whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace (I)we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

(J)This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

Avoid Dissension

But (K)avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. 10 (L)Reject a divisive man after the first and second [a]admonition, 11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned.

Final Messages

12 When I send Artemas to you, or (M)Tychicus, be diligent to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there. 13 Send Zenas the lawyer and (N)Apollos on their journey with haste, that they may lack nothing. 14 And let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful.

Farewell

15 All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith.

Grace be with you all. Amen.
