American King James Version
3 : 1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
3 : 2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness to all men.
3 : 3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
3 : 4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared,
3 : 5 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;
3 : 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior;
3 : 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
3 : 8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that you affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
3 : 9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
3 : 10 A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject;
3 : 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sins, being condemned of himself.
3 : 12 When I shall send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
3 : 13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting to them.
3 : 14 And let our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
3 : 15 All that are with me salute you. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
