¹ܘܗܘܝܬ ܡܥܗܕ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܠܪܫܐ ܘܠܫܠܝܛܢܐ ܢܫܬܡܥܘܢ ܘܢܫܬܥܒܕܘܢ ܘܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܥܬܝܕܝܢ ܠܟܠ ܥܒܕ ܛܒ ܀

¹Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work,

²ܘܥܠ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܢܓܕܦܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܡܬܟܬܫܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܡܟܝܟܝܢ ܘܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܢܚܘܘܢ ܒܤܝܡܘܬܗܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܀

²to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all humility toward all men.

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 ܀

³For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

⁴ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܓܠܝܬ ܒܤܝܡܘܬܗ ܘܡܪܚܡܢܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܚܝܢܢ ܀

⁴But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,

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

⁵not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

⁶ܗܝ ܕܐܫܕ ܥܠܝܢ ܥܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܒܝܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܚܝܢܢ ܀

⁶whom he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior;

⁷ܕܒܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܢܙܕܕܩ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܝܪܬܐ ܒܤܒܪܐ ܒܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܀

⁷that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

⁸ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܒܗܠܝܢ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܐܢܬ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܫܪܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܢܬܒܛܠ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܦܠܚ ܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܝܢ ܛܒܢ ܘܡܘܬܪܢ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܀

⁸This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;

⁹ܡܢ ܒܥܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܤܟܠܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܬܫܥܝܬܐ ܕܫܪܒܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܚܪܝܢܐ ܘܡܢ ܬܟܬܘܫܐ ܕܤܦܪܐ ܐܫܬܐܠ ܝܘܬܪܢ ܓܝܪ ܠܝܬ ܒܗܝܢ ܘܤܪܝܩܢ ܐܢܝܢ ܀

⁹but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

¹⁰ܡܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܪܤܝܘܛܐ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܚܕܐ ܙܒܢ ܘܬܪܬܝܢ ܕܡܪܬܐ ܐܢܬ ܠܗ ܐܫܬܐܠ ܀

¹⁰Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning;

¹¹ܘܗܘܝܬ ܝܕܥ ܕܡܢ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܗܘ ܡܥܩܡ ܗܘ ܘܚܛܐ ܘܗܘ ܚܝܒ ܢܦܫܗ ܀

¹¹knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.

¹²ܡܐ ܕܫܕܪܬ ܠܘܬܟ ܠܐܪܛܡܐ ܐܘ ܠܛܘܟܝܩܘܤ ܢܬܒܛܠ ܠܟ ܕܬܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܠܢܝܩܦܘܠܝܤ ܬܡܢ ܓܝܪ ܤܡܬ ܒܪܥܝܢܝ ܕܐܤܬܐ ܀

¹²When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.

¹³ܥܠ ܙܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܥܠ ܐܦܠܘ ܢܬܒܛܠ ܠܟ ܕܬܠܘܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܫܦܝܪ ܕܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܢܚܤܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܀

¹³Send Zenas, the lawyer, and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them.

¹⁴ܘܢܐܠܦܘܢ ܐܦ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܝܠܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܦܠܚܝܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܒܨܒܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܨܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܦܐܪܐ ܀

¹⁴Let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.

¹⁵ܫܐܠܝܢ ܒܫܠܡܟ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܝ ܐܢܘܢ ܫܐܠ ܒܫܠܡܐ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܪܚܡܝܢ ܠܢ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܥܡ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܀

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