For many also are disorderly, vain talkers and infatuates, especially they of the circumcision:

Who must be restrained, who subvert whole houses, teaching what they ought not, for the sake of sordid gain.

This testimony is true. For this cause reprove them severely, that they may be sound in the faith;

They confess to know God; and in works they deny, being abominable, and disobedient, and to every good work not tried.

That they render the young women discreet, to be lovers of the husband, lovers of the children,

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

Faithful the word, and I wish for thee to be assured of these things, that they having believed God might turn their thoughts to excel in good works. These things are good and profitable to men.

And foolish questions, and genealogies, and strifes, and conflicts pertaining to the law, avoid; for they are unprofitable and vain.

And let ours also learn to excel in good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.

All they with me greet thee. Greet them loving us in the faith. Grace with you all. Amen.
