Remind them to be subject to principalities and authorities, to obey rule, unto every good work to be ready,
2 kamapi na nindeyu rnivvirodhinaH kShAntAshcha bhaveyuH sarvvAn prati cha pUrNaM mR^idutvaM prakAshayeyushcheti tAn Adisha|
of no one to speak evil, not to be quarrelsome — gentle, showing all meekness to all men,

for we were once — also we — thoughtless, disobedient, led astray, serving desires and pleasures manifold, in malice and envy living, odious — hating one another;
4 kintvasmAkaM trAturIshvarasya yA dayA marttyAnAM prati cha yA prItistasyAH prAdurbhAve jAte
and when the kindness and the love to men of God our Saviour did appear
5 vayam AtmakR^itebhyo dharmmakarmmabhyastannahi kintu tasya kR^ipAtaH punarjanmarUpeNa prakShAlanena pravitrasyAtmano nUtanIkaraNena cha tasmAt paritrANAM prAptAH
(not by works that [are] in righteousness that we did but according to His kindness, ) He did save us, through a bathing of regeneration, and a renewing of the Holy Spirit,
6 sa chAsmAkaM trAtrA yIshukhrIShTenAsmadupari tam AtmAnaM prachuratvena vR^iShTavAn|
which He poured upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour,
that having been declared righteous by His grace, heirs we may become according to the hope of life age-during. (aiōnios g166)

Stedfast [is] the word; and concerning these things I counsel thee 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,
9 mUDhebhyaH prashnavaMshAvalivivAdebhyo vyavasthAyA vitaNDAbhyashcha nivarttasva yatastA niShphalA anarthakAshcha bhavanti|
and foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about law, stand away from — for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 yo jano bibhitsustam ekavAraM dvirvvA prabodhya dUrIkuru,
A sectarian man, after a first and second admonition be rejecting,
11 yatastAdR^isho jano vipathagAmI pApiShTha AtmadoShakashcha bhavatIti tvayA j nAyatAM|
having known that he hath been subverted who [is] such, and doth sin, being self-condemned.

When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis, for there to winter I have determined.
13 vyavasthApakaH sInA ApallushchaitayoH kasyApyabhAvo yanna bhavet tadarthaM tau yatnena tvayA visR^ijyetAM|
Zenas the lawyer and Apollos bring diligently on their way, that nothing to them may be lacking,
14 aparam asmadIyalokA yanniShphalA na bhaveyustadarthaM prayojanIyopakArAyA satkarmmANyanuShThAtuM shikShantAM|
and let them learn — ours also — to be leading in good works to the necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.
15 mama sa NginaH savve tvAM namaskurvvate| ye vishvAsAd asmAsu prIyante tAn namaskuru; sarvveShu yuShmAsvanugraho bhUyAt| Amen|
Salute thee do all those with me; salute those loving us in faith; the grace [is] with you all!
