3:2 | To speak evil of <987> (5721) no man <3367>, to be <1511> (5750) no brawlers <269>, [but] gentle <1933>, shewing <1731> (5734) all <3956> meekness <4236> unto <4314> all <3956> men <444>. |
3:3 | For <1063> we ourselves <2249> also <2532> were <2258> (5713) <453> (0) sometimes <4218> foolish <453>, disobedient <545>, deceived <4105> (5746), serving <1398> (5723) divers <4164> lusts <1939> and <2532> pleasures <2237>, living <1236> (5723) in <1722> malice <2549> and <2532> envy <5355>, hateful <4767>, [and] hating <3404> (5723) one another <240>. |
3:4 | But <1161> after <3753> that the kindness <5544> and <2532> love <5363> (0) of God <2316> our <2257> Saviour <4990> toward man <5363> appeared <2014> (5648), {love: or, pity} |
3:5 | Not <3756> by <1537> works <2041> of <1722> righteousness <1343> which <3739> we <2249> have done <4160> (5656), but <235> according to <2596> his <846> mercy <1656> he saved <4982> (5656) us <2248>, by <1223> the washing <3067> of regeneration <3824>, and <2532> renewing <342> of the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>; |
3:6 | Which <3739> he shed <1632> (5656) on <1909> us <2248> abundantly <4146> through <1223> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our <2257> Saviour <4990>; {abundantly: Gr. richly} |
3:7 | That <2443> being justified by <1344> (5685) his <1565> grace <5485>, we should be made <1096> (5638) heirs <2818> according to <2596> the hope <1680> of eternal <166> life <2222>. |
3:8 | [This is] a faithful <4103> saying <3056>, and <2532> these things <4012> <5130> I will <1014> (5736) that thou <4571> affirm constantly <1226> (5738), that <2443> they which have believed <4100> (5761) in God <2316> might be careful <5431> (5725) to maintain <4291> (5733) good <2570> works <2041>. These things <5023> are <2076> (5748) good <2570> and <2532> profitable <5624> unto men <444>. |
3:9 | But <1161> avoid <4026> (5732) foolish <3474> questions <2214>, and <2532> genealogies <1076>, and <2532> contentions <2054>, and <2532> strivings about <3163> the law <3544>; for <1063> they are <1526> (5748) unprofitable <512> and <2532> vain <3152>. |

3:13 | Bring <4311> (0) Zenas <2211> the lawyer <3544> and <2532> Apollos <625> on their journey <4311> (5657) diligently <4709>, that <2443> nothing <3367> be wanting <3007> (5725) unto them <846>. |
3:14 | And <1161> let <3129> (0) ours <2251> also <2532> learn <3129> (5720) to maintain <4291> (5733) good <2570> works <2041> for <1519> necessary <316> uses <5532>, that <3363> (0) they be <5600> (5753) not <3363> unfruitful <175>. {maintain...: or, profess honest trades} |
