| 2 | to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all gentleness toward all men. | Ps 140:11 Pr 6:19 Ac 23:5 1Co 6:10 2Co 12:20 Eph 4:31 1Ti 3:11 Jm 4:11 1Pe 2:1 1Pe 3:10 1Pe 4:4 2Pe 2:10 Jud 1:8 Jud 1:10 |

| 5 | not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, | Jb 9:20 Jb 15:14 Jb 25:4 Ps 143:2 Isa 57:12 Lk 10:27-29 Ro 3:20 Ro 3:28 Ro 4:5 Ro 9:11 Ro 9:16 Ro 9:30 Ro 11:6 Ga 2:16 Ga 3:16-21 Eph 2:4 Eph 2:8 Eph 2:9 2Ti 1:9 |
| 6 | which he poured out on us richly, through Jesus Christ, our Savior; | Pr 1:23 Isa 32:15 Isa 44:3 Ezk 36:25 Jl 2:28 Jn 1:16 Jn 7:37 Ac 2:33 Ac 10:45 Ro 5:5 |
| 7 | that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. | Tit 2:11 Ro 3:24 Ro 3:28 Ro 4:4 Ro 4:16 Ro 5:1 Ro 5:2 Ro 5:15-21 Ro 11:6 1Co 6:11 Ga 2:16 |
| 8 | This 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; | Tit 1:9 1Ti 1:15 |
| 9 | but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. | Tit 1:14 1Ti 1:3-7 1Ti 4:7 2Ti 2:23 |
| 10 | Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning; | 1Co 11:19 Ga 5:20 2Pe 2:1 |

| 13 | Send Zenas, the lawyer, and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing may be lacking for them. | Mt 22:35 Lk 7:30 Lk 10:25 Lk 11:45 Lk 11:52 Lk 14:3 |
| 14 | Let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful. | Ac 18:3 Ac 20:35 Eph 4:28 1Th 2:9 2Th 3:8 |
