GNT

1 ὑπομίμνῃσκε αὐτοὺς ἀρχαῖς ἐξουσίαις ὑποτάσσεσθαι, πειθαρχεῖν, πρὸς πᾶν ἔργον ἀγαθὸν ἑτοίμους εἶναι,

2 μηδένα βλασφημεῖν, ἀμάχους εἶναι, ἐπιεικεῖς, πᾶσαν ἐνδεικνυμένους πραΰτητα πρὸς πάντας ἀνθρώπους.

3 ἦμεν γάρ ποτε καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀνόητοι, ἀπειθεῖς, πλανώμενοι, δουλεύοντες ἐπιθυμίαις καὶ ἡδοναῖς ποικίλαις, ἐν κακίᾳ καὶ φθόνῳ διάγοντες, στυγητοί, μισοῦντες ἀλλήλους.

4 ὅτε δὲ ἡ χρηστότης καὶ ἡ φιλανθρωπία ἐπεφάνη τοῦ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν θεοῦ,

5 οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων τῶν ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ ἃ ἐποιήσαμεν ἡμεῖς ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὸ αὐτοῦ ἔλεος ἔσωσεν ἡμᾶς διὰ λουτροῦ παλιγγενεσίας καὶ ἀνακαινώσεως πνεύματος ἁγίου,

6 οὖ ἐξέχεεν ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς πλουσίως διὰ ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ τοῦ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν,

7 ἵνα δικαιωθέντες τῇ ἐκείνου χάριτι κληρονόμοι γενηθῶμεν κατ᾽ ἐλπίδα ζωῆς αἰωνίου.

8 πιστὸς ὁ λόγος, καὶ περὶ τούτων βούλομαί σε διαβεβαιοῦσθαι, ἵνα φροντίζωσιν καλῶν ἔργων προΐστασθαι οἱ πεπιστευκότες θεῶ. ταῦτά ἐστιν καλὰ καὶ ὠφέλιμα τοῖς ἀνθρώποις·

9 μωρὰς δὲ ζητήσεις καὶ γενεαλογίας καὶ ἔρεις καὶ μάχας νομικὰς περιΐστασο, εἰσὶν γὰρ ἀνωφελεῖς καὶ μάταιοι.

10 αἱρετικὸν ἄνθρωπον μετὰ μίαν καὶ δευτέραν νουθεσίαν παραιτοῦ,

11 εἰδὼς ὅτι ἐξέστραπται ὁ τοιοῦτος καὶ ἁμαρτάνει, ὢν αὐτοκατάκριτος.

12 ὅταν πέμψω ἀρτεμᾶν πρὸς σὲ ἢ τυχικόν, σπούδασον ἐλθεῖν πρός με εἰς νικόπολιν, ἐκεῖ γὰρ κέκρικα παραχειμάσαι.

13 ζηνᾶν τὸν νομικὸν καὶ ἀπολλῶν σπουδαίως πρόπεμψον, ἵνα μηδὲν αὐτοῖς λείπῃ.

14 μανθανέτωσαν δὲ καὶ οἱ ἡμέτεροι καλῶν ἔργων προΐστασθαι εἰς τὰς ἀναγκαίας χρείας, ἵνα μὴ ὦσιν ἄκαρποι.

15 ἀσπάζονταί σε οἱ μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ πάντες. ἄσπασαι τοὺς φιλοῦντας ἡμᾶς ἐν πίστει. ἡ χάρις μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν.

1  Put them in mind^{5279 846} to be subject⁵²⁹³ to principalities⁷⁴⁶ and²⁵³² powers,¹⁸⁴⁹ to obey magistrates,³⁹⁸⁰ to be¹⁵¹¹ ready²⁰⁹² to⁴³¹⁴ every³⁹⁵⁶ good¹⁸ work,²⁰⁴¹

2  To speak evil⁹⁸⁷ of no man,³³⁶⁷ to be¹⁵¹¹ no brawlers,²⁶⁹ but gentle,¹⁹³³ showing¹⁷³¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ meekness⁴²³⁶ unto⁴³¹⁴ all³⁹⁵⁶ men.⁴⁴⁴

3  For¹⁰⁶³ we²²⁴⁹ ourselves also²⁵³² were²²⁵⁸ sometimes⁴²¹⁸ foolish,⁴⁵³ disobedient,⁵⁴⁵ deceived,⁴¹⁰⁵ serving¹³⁹⁸ divers⁴¹⁶⁴ lusts¹⁹³⁹ and²⁵³² pleasures,²²³⁷ living¹²³⁶ in¹⁷²² malice²⁵⁴⁹ and²⁵³² envy,⁵³⁵⁵ hateful,⁴⁷⁶⁷ and hating³⁴⁰⁴ one another.²⁴⁰

4  But¹¹⁶¹ after³⁷⁵³ that the³⁵⁸⁸ kindness⁵⁵⁴⁴ and²⁵³² love of God our Savior toward man^{5363 2316 2257 4990} appeared,²⁰¹⁴

5  Not³⁷⁵⁶ by¹⁵³⁷ works²⁰⁴¹ of¹⁷²² righteousness¹³⁴³ which³⁷³⁹ we²²⁴⁹ have done,⁴¹⁶⁰ but²³⁵ according²⁵⁹⁶ to his⁸⁴⁸ mercy¹⁶⁵⁶ he saved⁴⁹⁸² us,²²⁴⁸ by¹²²³ the washing³⁰⁶⁷ of regeneration,³⁸²⁴ and²⁵³² renewing³⁴² of the Holy⁴⁰ Ghost;⁴¹⁵¹

6  Which³⁷³⁹ he shed¹⁶³² on¹⁹⁰⁹ us²²⁴⁸ abundantly⁴¹⁴⁶ through¹²²³ Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ our²²⁵⁷ Savior;⁴⁹⁹⁰

7  That²⁴⁴³ being justified¹³⁴⁴ by his¹⁵⁶⁵ grace,⁵⁴⁸⁵ we should be made¹⁰⁹⁶ heirs²⁸¹⁸ according²⁵⁹⁶ to the hope¹⁶⁸⁰ of eternal¹⁶⁶ life.²²²²

8  This is a faithful⁴¹⁰³ saying,³⁰⁵⁶ and²⁵³² these things⁵¹³⁰ I will¹⁰¹⁴ that thou⁴⁵⁷¹ affirm constantly,¹²²⁶ that²⁴⁴³ they which have believed⁴¹⁰⁰ in God²³¹⁶ might be careful⁵⁴³¹ to maintain⁴²⁹¹ good²⁵⁷⁰ works.²⁰⁴¹ These things⁵⁰²³ are²⁰⁷⁶ good²⁵⁷⁰ and²⁵³² profitable⁵⁶²⁴ unto men.⁴⁴⁴

9  But¹¹⁶¹ avoid⁴⁰²⁶ foolish³⁴⁷⁴ questions,²²¹⁴ and²⁵³² genealogies,¹⁰⁷⁶ and²⁵³² contentions,²⁰⁵⁴ and²⁵³² strivings³¹⁶³ about the law;³⁵⁴⁴ for¹⁰⁶³ they are¹⁵²⁶ unprofitable⁵¹² and²⁵³² vain.³¹⁵²

10  A man⁴⁴⁴ that is a heretic¹⁴¹ after³³²⁶ the first³³⁹¹ and²⁵³² second¹²⁰⁸ admonition³⁵⁵⁹ reject;³⁸⁶⁸

11  Knowing¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ he that is such⁵¹⁰⁸ is subverted,¹⁶¹² and²⁵³² sinneth,²⁶⁴ being⁵⁶⁰⁷ condemned of himself.⁸⁴³

12  When³⁷⁵² I shall send³⁹⁹² Artemas⁷³⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ thee,⁴⁵⁷¹ or²²²⁸ Tychicus,⁵¹⁹⁰ be diligent⁴⁷⁰⁴ to come²⁰⁶⁴ unto⁴³¹⁴ me³¹⁶⁵ to¹⁵¹⁹ Nicopolis:³⁵³³ for¹⁰⁶³ I have determined²⁹¹⁹ there¹⁵⁶³ to winter.³⁹¹⁴

13  Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey^{4311 2211 3588 3544 2532 625} diligently,⁴⁷⁰⁹ that²⁴⁴³ nothing³³⁶⁷ be wanting³⁰⁰⁷ unto them.⁸⁴⁶

14  And¹¹⁶¹ let ours²²⁵¹ also²⁵³² learn³¹²⁹ to maintain⁴²⁹¹ good²⁵⁷⁰ works²⁰⁴¹ for¹⁵¹⁹ necessary³¹⁶ uses,⁵⁵³² that²⁴⁴³ they be⁵⁶⁰⁰ not³³⁶¹ unfruitful.¹⁷⁵

15  All³⁹⁵⁶ that³⁵⁸⁸ are with³³²⁶ me¹⁷⁰⁰ salute⁷⁸² thee.⁴⁵⁷¹ Greet⁷⁸² them that love⁵³⁶⁸ us²²⁴⁸ in¹⁷²² the faith.⁴¹⁰² Grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ be with³³²⁶ you⁵²¹⁶ all.³⁹⁵⁶ Amen.²⁸¹

Vul

1 Admone illos principibus, et potestatibus subditos esse, dicto obedire, ad omne opus bonum paratos esse:

2 neminem blasphemare, non litigiosos esse, sed modestos, omnem ostendentes mansuetudinem ad omnes homines.

3 Eramus enim aliquando et nos insipientes, increduli, errantes, servientes desideriis, et voluptatibus variis, in malitia et invidia agentes, odibiles, odientes invicem.

4 Cum autem benignitas et humanitas apparuit Salvatoris nostri Dei,

5 non ex operibus justitiæ, quæ fecimus nos, sed secundum suam misericordiam salvos nos fecit per lavacrum regenerationis et renovationis Spiritus Sancti,

6 quem effudit in nos abunde per Jesum Christum Salvatorem nostrum:

7 ut justificati gratia ipsius, hæredes simus secundum spem vitæ æternæ.

8 Fidelis sermo est: et de his volo te confirmare: ut curent bonis operibus præesse qui credunt Deo. Hæc sunt bona, et utilia hominibus.

9 Stultas autem quæstiones, et genealogias, et contentiones, et pugnas legis devita: sunt enim inutiles, et vanæ.

10 Hæreticum hominem post unam et secundam correptionem devita:

11 sciens quia subversus est, qui ejusmodi est, et delinquit, cum sit proprio judicio condemnatus.

12 Cum misero ad te Artemam, aut Tychicum, festina ad me venire Nicopolim: ibi enim statui hiemare.

13 Zenam legisperitum et Apollo sollicite præmitte, ut nihil illis desit.

14 Discant autem et nostri bonis operibus præesse ad usus necessarios: ut non sint infructuosi.

15 Salutant te qui mecum sunt omnes: saluta eos qui nos amant in fide. Gratia Dei cum omnibus vobis. Amen.
