CHAPTER 3
1 Admonish them to be subjects [or to be subject] to princes, and to powers; to obey to that that is said, and to be ready to all good work;

2 to blaspheme no man, to be not full of chiding, but temperate [or patient], showing all mildness to all men.

3 For we were sometime unwise, unbelieveful, erring, and serving to desires, and to diverse lusts, doing in malice and envy, worthy to be hated, hating each other.

4 But when the benignity and the manhood [or the humanity] of our Saviour God appeared,

5 not of works of rightwiseness that we did, but by his mercy he made us safe, by [the] washing, [or baptism], of again-begetting, and again-newing of the Holy Ghost,

6 whom he shedded [out] into us plenteously by Jesus Christ, our Saviour,

7 that we justified by his grace, be heirs by hope of everlasting life.

8 A true word is [this], and of these things I will that thou confirm others, that they that believe in God, be busy to be above [or to be before] others in good works. These things be good, and profitable to men.

9 And eschew thou foolish questions, and genealogies, and strivings [or strives], and fightings of the law; for those be unprofitable and vain.

10 Eschew [or Shun] thou a man heretic, after one and the second correction;

11 witting that he that is such a manner man is subverted, and trespasseth, and is condemned by his own doom.

12 When I send to thee Artemas, or Tychicus, hie thou [or haste] to come to me to Nicopolis; for I have purposed to dwell in winter there.

13 Busily before send [or send before] Zenas, a wise man of law, and Apollos, that nothing fail to them.

14 They that be of ours, learn to be governors [or to be before] in good works, to necessary uses, that they be not without fruit.

15 All men that be with me greet thee well. Greet thou well them, that love us in [the] faith. The grace of God be with you all. Amen.
