부탁과 경고

그대는 신자들을 깨우쳐 통치자들과 정부 당국에 복종하고 순종하며 언제 나 선한 일을 하도록 하시오.

또 남을 헐뜯거나 다투지 말고 관대하며 모든 사람을 부드럽게 대하게 하시오.

우리도 전에는 어리석었고 불순종하였고 속았으며 온갖 정욕과 쾌락의 종이 되었고 악한 생각과 시기하는 마음으로 서로 미워하며 살았습니다.

그러나 우리 구주 하나님은 자비와 인류에 대한 사랑으로

우리를 구원해 주셨습니다. 그것은 우리의 의로운 행위 때문이 아니라 그분의 자비 때문입니다. 그분은 우리를 깨끗이 씻어 거듭나게 하시고 성령으로 새롭게 하여 우리를 구원해 주신 것입니다.

하나님은 우리 구주 예수 그리스도를 통해 우리에게 이 성령을 풍성하게 부어 주셔서

우리가 그분의 은혜로 의롭다는 인정을 받고 영원한 생명에 대한 희망을 가지고 상속자가 되게 하셨습니다.

이것은 믿을 만한 말입니다. 나는 그대가 이런 교리를 특별히 강조하여 하나님을 믿는 사람들이 조심스럽게 선한 일을 하도록 하기를 바랍니다. 이런 일은 좋은 것이며 사람들에게도 유익합니다.

그러나 그대는 어리석은 논쟁과 족보 이야기와 분쟁과 율법에 대한 다툼을 피하시오. 이런 것은 무익하고 헛된 것입니다.

10 [a]분열을 일삼는 사람은 한두 번 경고한 후에 물리치시오.

11 그대도 알겠지만 이런 사람은 이미 타락하여 스스로 악한 줄 알면서도 계속 죄를 짓고 있습니다.

12 내가 아데마나 두기고를 보내거든 그대는 니고볼리에 있는 나에게로 속히 오시오. 나는 거기서 겨울을 보낼 작정입니다.

13 아볼로와 율법학자 세나를 나에게 속히 보내고 그들에게 부족한 것이 없도록 해 주시오.

14 우리 성도들은 [b]주님의 일에 수고하는 사람들을 돕는 선한 일을 힘써 배워야 합니다. 그러면 열매 맺는 보람된 생활이 될 것입니다.

15 나와 함께 있는 모든 사람이 그대에게 문안합니다. 그대는 믿음 안에서 우리를 사랑하는 모든 사람들에게 문안하시오. 하나님의 은혜가 여러분 모두와 함께하기를 기도합니다.

Saved in Order to Do Good

Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities,(A) to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good,(B) to slander no one,(C) to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.

At one time(D) we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness(E) and love of God our Savior(F) appeared,(G) he saved us,(H) not because of righteous things we had done,(I) but because of his mercy.(J) He saved us through the washing(K) of rebirth and renewal(L) by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us(M) generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace,(N) we might become heirs(O) having the hope(P) of eternal life.(Q) This is a trustworthy saying.(R) And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good.(S) These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.

But avoid(T) foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels(U) about the law,(V) because these are unprofitable and useless.(W) 10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them.(X) 11 You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful; they are self-condemned.

Final Remarks

12 As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus(Y) to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there.(Z) 13 Do everything you can to help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos(AA) on their way and see that they have everything they need. 14 Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good,(AB) in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives.

15 Everyone with me sends you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith.(AC)

Grace be with you all.(AD)

Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;

11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

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

13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.

14 And let our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.

15 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
