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

003:002
To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

003:003
For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

003:004
But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,

003:005
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;

003:006
Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

003:007
That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

003:008
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.

003:009
But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

003:010
A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;

003:011
Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

003:013
Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.

003:014
And let our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.

003:015
All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
