¹Put them in mind to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient to rule, to be ready to do every good work,

²to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, [to be] mild, shewing all meekness towards all men.

³For we were once ourselves also without intelligence, disobedient, wandering in error, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, [and] hating one another.

³ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܕܠܐ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܘܕܠܐ ܦܝܤܐ ܘܛܥܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܘܡܫܥܒܕܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܠܐܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܡܫܚܠܦܬܐ ܘܒܒܝܫܘܬܐ ܘܒܚܤܡܐ ܡܬܗܦܟܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܘܤܢܝܐܝܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܐܦ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܤܢܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܀

⁴But when the kindness and love to man of our Saviour God appeared,

⁴ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܓܠܝܬ ܒܤܝܡܘܬܗ ܘܡܪܚܡܢܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܚܝܢܢ ܀

⁵not 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,

⁵ܠܐ ܒܥܒܕܐ ܕܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܕܥܒܕܢ ܐܠܐ ܒܪܚܡܘܗܝ ܕܝܠܗ ܐܚܝܢ ܒܤܚܬܐ ܕܡܘܠܕܐ ܕܡܢ ܕܪܝܫ ܘܒܚܘܕܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܀

⁶which he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

⁷that, having been justified by *his* grace, we should become heirs according to [the] hope of eternal life.

⁸The 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.

⁹But foolish questions, and genealogies, and strifes, and contentions about the law, shun; for they are unprofitable and vain.

¹²When I shall send Artemas to thee, or Tychicus, use diligence to come to me to Nicopolis; for I have decided to winter there.
