- Kapitel 3 -

1
Admonish them to be subject to princes and powers, to obey at a word, to be ready to every good work.
2
To speak evil of no man, not to be litigious, but gentle: shewing all mildness towards all men.
3
For we ourselves also were some time unwise, incredulous, erring, slaves to divers desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4
But when the goodness and kindness of God our Saviour appeared:
5
Not by the works of justice, which we have done, but according to his mercy, he saved us, by the laver of regeneration, and renovation of the Holy Ghost;
6
Whom he hath poured forth upon us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour:
7
That, being justified by his grace, we may be heirs, according to hope of life everlasting.
8
It is a faithful saying: and these things I will have thee affirm constantly: that they, who believe in God, may be careful to excel in good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

Avoid Divisions

(Romans 16:17–20)
9
But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law. For they are unprofitable and vain.
10
A man that is a heretic, after the first and second admonition, avoid:
11
Knowing that he, that is such an one, is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned by his own judgment.

Final Remarks and Greetings

12
When I shall send to thee Artemas or Tychicus, make haste to come unto me to Nicopolis. For there I have determined to winter.
13
Send forward Zenas, the lawyer, and Apollo, with care, that nothing be wanting to them.
14
And let our men also learn to excel in good works for necessary uses: that they be not unfruitful.
15
All that are with me salute thee: salute them that love us in the faith. The grace of God be with you all. Amen.
1
Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,
2
to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all humility toward all men.
3
For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4
But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,
5
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,
6
whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior;
7
that being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8
This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you insist confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;

Avoid Divisions

(Romans 16:17–20)
9
but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10
Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning,
11
knowing that such a one is perverted and sinful, being self-condemned.

Final Remarks and Greetings

12
When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.
13
Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them.
14
Let our people also learn to maintain good works to meet necessary needs, that they may not be unfruitful.
15
All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
