6. which[G3739] he poured[G1632] out upon[G1909] us[G2248] richly[G4146], through[G1223] Jesus[G2424] Christ[G5547] our[G2257] Saviour[G4990];

7. that[G2443], being justified[G1344] by his[G1565] grace[G5485], we might be made[G1096] heirs[G2818] according to[G2596] the hope[G1680] of eternal[G166] life[G2222].

8. Faithful[G4103] is the saying[G3056], and[G2532] concerning these things[G5130] I desire[G1014] that[G1226] thou[G4571] affirm confidently[G1226], to the end that[G2443] they who have believed[G4100] God[G2316] may be careful[G5431] to maintain[G4291] good[G2570] works[G2041].

9. but[G1161] shun[G4026] foolish[G3474] questionings[G2214], and[G2532] genealogies[G1076], and[G2532] strifes[G2054], and[G2532] fightings[G3163] about law[G3544]; for[G1063] they are[G1526] unprofitable[G512] and[G2532] vain[G3152].

10. A factious[G141] man[G444] after[G3326] a first[G1520] and[G2532] second[G1208] admonition[G3559] refuse[G3868];

11. knowing[G1492] that[G3754] such[G5108] a one is perverted[G1612], and[G2532] sinneth[G264], being[G5607] self-condemned[G843].

12. When[G3752] I shall send[G3992] Artemas[G734] unto[G4314] thee[G4571], or[G2228] Tychicus[G5190], give diligence[G4704] to come[G2064] unto[G4314] me[G3165] to[G1519] Nicopolis[G3533]: for[G1063] there[G1563] I have determined[G2919] to winter[G3914].

13. Set forward[G4311] Zenas[G2211] the lawyer[G3544] and[G2532] Apollos[G625] on their journey[G4311] diligently[G4709], that[G2443] nothing[G3367] be wanting[G3007] unto them[G846].

14. And[G1161] let[G3129] our people[G2251] also[G2532] learn[G3129] to maintain[G4291] good[G2570] works[G2041] for[G1519] necessary[G316] uses[G5532], that[G2443] they be[G5600] not[G3361] unfruitful[G175].

15. All that are[G3956] with[G3326] me[G1700] salute[G782] thee[G4571]. Salute[G782] them that love[G5368] us[G2248] in[G1722] faith[G4102]. Grace[G5485] be with[G3326] you[G5216] all[G3956].
