Avenged 3

1 Remind themselves to be implied in/subject to origins, to be persuaded to authorities, to be ready toward every good work,

βλασφημεῖν blasphēmein - to blaspheme

2 to blaspheme no one, to be unconquerable,⁴ fair/equitable, those who are displaying every gentleness toward all men.

ἡδοναῖς ποικίλαις - diversely embroidered pleasures

3 For at one time we kept being unintelligible, impersuasible, those who are wandering, those who being slaves to longings and diverse embroidered pleasures within a malicious evil and envy, those who are leading across hated ones, those who are hating reciprocally,

ἡ φιλανθρωπία hē philanthrōpia - the love of humanity

4 And when she appeared, the Uprightness and the Humanity of the Savior of ourselves, of God,
5 not from out of works, the ones which we made within a just one, but rather according to the Mercy of himself, he saved ourselves across through a bath of regeneration/re-genesis and a renovation of a spirit, a holy one.
6 which he poured out upon ourselves richly across through Salvation, an anointed one, the Savior of ourselves.
7 So that those who have been made just by the Grace of that one, we might become heirs according to a hope of an eternal zoe-life.
8 the Trustworthy Word, and around to these things I am willing to affirm strongly yourself, so that they may take care to set before themselves good works, the ones who have trusted God. These things are beautiful and aiding to the Men.

γενεαλογία - study of pedigree, origins

9 And stand around stupid searches and tracings of pedigrees and battles over points of law, for they are unprofitable and vain.

αἱρετικὸν - choosing, sectarian, factions

10 A factious man beyond one and a second directing/warning, avert.

αὐτοκατάκριτος - self-judging, self-sentencing, self-damning

11 He who sees that such a man has been wholly turned inside out and is missing, he who is being a self-sentencing one.
12 When I should send Gift of Artemis ("Artemas") toward yourself, or Fortunate Target Hitter ("Tychicus"),⁵ be speedy to come in toward myself, into Victorious City ("Nicopolis"), for there I have decided to spend winter.
13 Speedily send forward Living ("Zenas"), Learned of the Law, and Destroyer ("Apollos"), so that nothing should be wanting to themselves.
14 And let ours also learn to set in front of themselves beautiful works, into the Indispensible Needs so that they should not be unfruitful ones.
15 All the ones in company with myself embrace yourself; embrace the ones who are philo-loving ourselves within a trust. The Grace in company with all of yourselves!
