8Faithful is the saying, and concerning these things I desire that thou affirm confidently, to the end that they who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men:
9but shun foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strifes, and fightings about law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10A factious man after a first and second admonition refuse;
11knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned.
12When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, give diligence to come unto me to Nicopolis: for there I have determined to winter.
13Set forward Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
14And let our [people] also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
