002:006 Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded;
002:007 in all things showing yourself an example of good works;
in your teaching showing integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility,
002:008 and soundness of speech that can't be condemned; that he who opposes
you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.
002:009 Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters,
and to be well-pleasing in all things; not contradicting;
002:010 not stealing, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn
the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.
002:011 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
002:012 instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and
worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly
in this present world;
002:013 looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our
great God and Savior, Jesus Christ;
002:014 who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity,
and purify for himself a people for his own possession,
zealous for good works.
002:015 Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority.
Let no man despise you.
003:001 Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities,
to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
003:002 to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle,
showing all humility toward all men.
003:003 For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived,
serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice
and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
003:004 But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love
toward mankind appeared,
003:005 not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves,
but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing
of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,
003:006 whom he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior;
003:007 that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs
according to the hope of eternal life.
003:008 This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I
desire that you affirm confidently, so that those who have
believed God may be careful to maintain good works.
These things are good and profitable to men;
003:009 but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes
about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
003:010 Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning;
003:011 knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.
003:012 When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come
to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.
003:013 Send Zenas, the lawyer, and Apollos on their journey speedily,
that nothing may be lacking for them.
003:014 Let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses,
