But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior;

But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;

To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate.

But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.

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

But when the kindness and love of God our Savior towards 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 Spirit;

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