8This is a true saying; and it is my desire that you may give certain witness about these things, so that those who have had faith in God may give attention to good works. These things are good and of profit to men;
9But have nothing to do with foolish questionings, and lists of generations, and fights and arguments about the law; for they are of no profit and foolish.
10A man whose opinions are not those of the church, after a first and second protest, is to be kept out of your society;
11Clearly he is in error and a sinner, being self-judged.
12When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis: for it is my purpose to be there for the winter.
13Send Zenas, the man of law, and Apollos on their journey with all care, so that they may be in need of nothing.
14And let our people go on with good works for necessary purposes, so that they may not be without fruit.
