8This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, to the end that they who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men;
9but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning;
11knowing that such a one is perverted, and sins, being self-condemned.
12When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there.
13Send Zenas, the lawyer, and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing may be lacking for them.
14Let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.
