'People' in the Bible

Paul, a bondservant of God and an Apostle of Jesus Christ for building up the faith of God's own people and spreading a full knowledge of the truths of religion,

And he must be hospitable [to believers, as well as strangers], a lover of what is good, sensible (upright), fair, devout, self-disciplined [above reproach—whether in public or in private].

For there are also many rebellious people, full of empty talk and deception, especially those from Judaism.

They must be silenced, because they are the kind of people who ruin whole families by teaching what they should not teach in order to make money in a shameful way.

and not pay attention to Jewish myths or commands given by people who reject the truth.

For the grace of God has appeared with salvation for all people,

Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Remind people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready and willing to do good,

to slander no one, to avoid fighting, and to be kind, always showing gentleness to all people.

This saying is trustworthy. I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have put their faith in God may devote themselves to good actions. These things are good and helpful to other people.

And our people must also learn to devote themselves to good works for cases of urgent need, so that they will not be unfruitful.
