Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers,
to obey magistrates,
to be ready to every good work,
056:003:002
To speak evil of no man,
to be no brawlers,
but gentle,
shewing all meekness unto all men.
056:003:003
For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish,
disobedient,
deceived,
serving divers lusts and pleasures,
living in malice and envy,
hateful,
and hating one another.
056:003:004
But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
056:003:005
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;
056:003:006
Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
056:003:007
That being justified by his grace,
we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
056:003:008
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.
056:003:009
But avoid foolish questions,
and genealogies,
and contentions,
and strivings about the law;
for they are unprofitable and vain.
056:003:010
A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
056:003:011
Knowing that he that is such is subverted,
and sinneth,
being condemned of himself.
056:003:012
When I shall send Artemas unto thee,
or Tychicus,
be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis:
for I have determined there to winter.
056:003:013
Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently,
that nothing be wanting unto them.
056:003:014
And let our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses,
that they be not unfruitful.
056:003:015
All that are with me salute thee.
Greet them that love us in the faith.
Grace be with you all.
Amen.
