3 for we, also, were once thoughtless, disobedient, led astray, serving manifold desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, odious—hating one another;

4 and when the kindness and the love to men of God our Savior appeared
But when the kindness and love to man of our Saviour God appeared,
5 (not by works that [are] in righteousness that we did but according to His kindness), He saved us, through a bathing of regeneration, and a renewing of the Holy Spirit,
not on the principle of works which [have been done] in righteousness which we had done, but according to his own mercy he saved us through [the] washing of regeneration and renewal of [the] Holy Spirit,
6 which He poured on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior,
which he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 that having been declared righteous by His grace, we may become heirs according to the hope of continuous life. (aiōnios g166)

8 The word [is] steadfast; and concerning these things I intend you to affirm fully, that they may be thoughtful, to be leading in good works—who have believed God; these are the good and profitable things to men,
The word [is] faithful, and I desire that thou insist strenuously on these things, that they who have believed God may take care to pay diligent attention to good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
9 but stand away from foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about law—for they are unprofitable and vain.

13 Diligently send forth Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way, that nothing to them may be lacking,

15 All those with me greet you. Greet those cherishing us in faith. The grace [is] with you all!
All with me salute thee. Salute those who love us in [the] faith. Grace [be] with you all.
