This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
3 Remind people to conform to their rulers and authorities, being obedient and ready to do anything that’s good. 2 Don’t slander others, be peaceable. Don’t be strong-willed, but rather show gentleness to all people. 3 We were also foolish and stubborn at one time, straying from the good and giving in to various lusts and pleasures, being mean and envious, even full of hate and hating one another. 4 But when God our saviour revealed his kindness and love for humankind, 5 he saved us, not because of the ‘good deeds’ that we did, but out of his mercy. He regenerated us through washing and renewed us by his holy spirit 6 which he lavishly poured on us through Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) the messiah 7 ⇔so that we might become heirs with the expectation of living forever, having been declared that we have no outstanding legal charges thanks to his grace. 8 That statement can be trusted. I want you to confirm those things so that those who have believed in God will be leading in wanting to do good things. These things are good and benefit everyone.
9 But avoid foolish debates, arguments about ancestry, other strife, and quarrels about God’s commands because they all achieve nothing and waste time. 10 Refuse to listen to a divisive person after you’ve given them two warnings 11 knowing that such people condemn themselves by their corruption and sinful attitude.
3:12 Closing
12 Whenever I send Artemas or Tukikos[ref] to you, you should try to meet me at Nikopolis, because I’ve decided to spend the winter there. 13 Help by sending Zenas the lawyer and Apollos[ref] on their way so that they won’t be needing anything. 14 Our people must also be learning to be leading in doing good things to meet the necessary needs so that they won’t be unproductive.
15 Everyone here with me sends their greetings to you. And please greet the ones there for us who love us in the faith.
