1Hupomimnēskasōr autoin ⸀archai exousiai hupotassorō peitharcharō, pros pantem ergem agathem hetoimoin arō,Remind the believers to submit to rulers and authorities, to be obedient and ready for every good work, 2mēdenon blasfēmarō, amachoin arō, epieikoin, pantan endeikorōntoin prautan pros pantoin anthrōpoin.to malign no one, and to be peaceable and gentle, showing full consideration to everyone. 3ane gar pote kai nis anoētois, apeithois, planorōntois, douleuarōntois epithumiai kai hēdonai poikilai, en kakia kai fthono diagarōntois, stugētois, misarōntois allēloin.For at one time we too were foolish, disobedient, misled, and enslaved to all sorts of desires and pleasures — living in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4hote de tas chrēstotas kai tas filanthrōpias epifanita tou sōtērou nu theou,But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, 5ouk ek ergeiu teiu en dikaiosuna ⸀heim poiana nis alla kata ⸂tem autou elesem⸃ sōzata nin dia loutreu palingenesiau kai anakainōsiau pneumeu hagieu,He saved us, not by the righteous deeds we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of new birth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. 6heu ekchata epi nin plousiōs dia Iēsu Christou tou sōtērou nu,This is the Spirit He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7hina dikaiirantois ta ekeinou charita klēronomois ⸀genineia kata elpidan zōau aiōniau.so that, having been justified by His grace, we would become heirs with the hope of eternal life.
8Pistos tos logos, kai peri houteiu boulomō sin diabebaiorō, hina frontizaleiō kaleiu ergeiu prostēorō tois pisteuarēntois theo. houteim ⸀atō kaleim kai ōfelimeim toi anthrōpoi;This saying is trustworthy. And I want you to emphasize these things, so that those who have believed God will take care to devote themselves to good deeds. These things are excellent and profitable for the people. 9mōrain de zētēsiain kai genealogiain kai ⸀eridain kai machain nomikain peristēosōr, alō gar anōfelais kai mataiais.But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, arguments, and quarrels about the law, because these things are pointless and worthless. 10hairetikon anthrōpon meta henan kai deuteran nouthesian paraitosōr,Reject a divisive man after a first and second admonition, 11horarēntos hoti ekstrefotē tos toioutos kai hamartatō, arōntos autokatakritos.knowing that such a man is corrupt and sinful; he is self-condemned.
12Hotan pempameia Artemon pros sin ē Tuchikon, spoudazasar erchara pros min eis Nikopolian, ekei gar krinamē paracheimazara.As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there. 13zēnon ton nomikon kai ⸀Apollon spoudaiōs propempasar, hina mēdenem autoi leipateiō.Do your best to equip Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, so that they will have everything they need. 14mathalōr de kai tois hēmeterois kaleiu ergeiu prostēorō eis tain anankaiain chreiain, hina mē aleiō akarpois.And our people must also learn to devote themselves to good works in order to meet the pressing needs of others, so that they will not be unfruitful.
15Aspazolō sin tois meta mu pantois. aspazesar toin filarōntoin nin en pistia. tas charitas meta pantoiu ⸀vu.All who are with me send you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with all of you.
