Graces of the Heirs of Grace

1 Remind them ato be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, bto be ready for every good work,  
2 to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men.
3 For awe ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.  
4 But when athe kindness and the love of bGod our Savior toward man appeared,  
5 anot by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through bthe washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,  
6 awhom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,  
7 that having been justified by His grace awe should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.  
8 aThis is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.  

Avoid Dissension

9 But aavoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless.  
10 aReject a divisive man after the first and second1 admonition,  
11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned.

Final Messages

12 When I send Artemas to you, or aTychicus, be diligent to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.  
13 Send Zenas the lawyer and aApollos on their journey with haste, that they may lack nothing.  
14 And let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful.

Farewell

15 All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
