Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they + may be sound in the faith; + +56:001:014 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, + that turn from the truth. + +56:001:015 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are + defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind + and conscience is defiled. + +56:001:016 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, + being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work + reprobate. + +56:002:001 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: + +56:002:002 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, + in charity, in patience. + +56:002:003 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh + holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers + of good things; + +56:002:004 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their + husbands, to love their children, + +56:002:005 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to + their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. + +56:002:006 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. + +56:002:007 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in + doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, + +56:002:008 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the + contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of + you. + +56:002:009 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to + please them well in all things; not answering again; + +56:002:010 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may + adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. + +56:002:011 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to + all men, + +56:002:012 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we + should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present + world; + +56:002:013 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of + the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; + +56:002:014 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all + iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous + of good works. + +56:002:015 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. + Let no man despise thee. + +56:003:001 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, + to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, + +56:003:002 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, + shewing all meekness unto all men. + +56:003:003 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, + deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice + and envy, hateful, and hating one another. + +56:003:004 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward + man appeared, + +56:003:005 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; + +56:003:006 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our + Saviour; + +56:003:007 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs + according to the hope of eternal life. + +56:003:008 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. + +56:003:009 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, + and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and + vain. + +56:003:010 A man that is an heretick after the first and second + admonition reject; + +56:003:011 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being + condemned of himself. + +56:003:012 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent + to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to + winter. + +56:003:013 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey + diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them. + +56:003:014 And let our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary + uses, that they be not unfruitful. + +56:003:015 All that are with me salute thee.
