3:1 Remind
them
to
be
submissive
to
rulers
and
authorities,
to
be
obedient,
to
be
ready
for
every
good
work,
3:2 to
speak
evil
of
no
one,
to
avoid
quarreling,
to
be
gentle,
and
to
show
perfect
courtesy
toward
all
people.
3:3 For
we
ourselves
were
once
foolish,
disobedient,
led
astray,
slaves
to
various
passions
and
pleasures,
passing
our
days
in
malice
and
envy,
hated
by
others
and
hating
one
another.
3:4 But
when
the
goodness
and
loving
kindness
of
God
our
Savior
appeared,
3:5 he
saved
us,
not
because
of
works
done
by
us
in
righteousness,
but
according
to
his
own
mercy,
by
the
washing
of
regeneration
and
renewal
of
the
Holy
Spirit,
3:6 whom
he
poured
out
on
us
richly
through
Jesus
Christ
our
Savior,
3:7 so
that
being
justified
by
his
grace
we
might
become
heirs
according
to
the
hope
of
eternal
life.
3:8 The
saying
is
trustworthy,
and
I
want
you
to
insist
on
these
things,
so
that
those
who
have
believed
in
God
may
be
careful
to
devote
themselves
to
good
works.
These
things
are
excellent
and
profitable
for
people.
3:9 But
avoid
foolish
controversies,
genealogies,
dissensions,
and
quarrels
about
the
law,
for
they
are
unprofitable
and
worthless.
3:10 As
for
a
person
who
stirs
up
division,
after
warning
him
once
and
then
twice,
have
nothing
more
to
do
with
him,
3:11 knowing
that
such
a
person
is
warped
and
sinful;
he
is
self-condemned.
3:12 When
I
send
Artemas
or
Tychicus
to
you,
do
your
best
to
come
to
me
at
Nicopolis,
for
I
have
decided
to
spend
the
winter
there.
3:13 Do
your
best
to
speed
Zenas
the
lawyer
and
Apollos
on
their
way;
see
that
they
lack
nothing.
3:14 And
let
our
people
learn
to
devote
themselves
to
good
works,
so
as
to
help
cases
of
urgent
need,
and
not
be
unfruitful.
3:15 All
who
are
with
me
send
greetings
to
you.
Greet
those
who
love
us
in
the
faith.
Grace
be
with
you
all.
