1 Amonéstales, que estén sujetos á los Príncipes, y á las Potestades: que les obedezcan: que estén prevenidos para toda obra buena: 2 Que no digan mal de nadie, que no sean pendencieros, sino modestos, mostrando toda mansedumbre para con todos los hombres. 3 Porque nosotros en algún tiempo eramos también necios, incrédulos, descaminados, esclavos de varios afectos, y deleytes, viviendo en malicia, y en envidia, aborrecibles, y aborreciéndonos los unos á los otros. 4 Mas quando apareció la bondad del Salvador nuestro Dios, y su amor para con los hombres, 5 No por obras de justicia que hubiésemos hecho nosotros, mas según su misericordia nos hizo salvos por el bautismo de regeneración, y renovacion del Espíritu Santo. 6 El qual difundió sobre nosotros abundantemente por Jesu-Christo nuestro Salvador: 7 Para que justificados por su gracia, seamos herederos según la esperanza de la vida eterna. 8 Palabra fiel: y quiero que esto afirmes: para que procuren aventajarse en buenas obras los que creen en Dios. Estas son cosas buenas, y útiles á los hombres. 9 Mas tú desecha las qüestiones necias, las genealogías, y debates, y disputas sobre la ley: porque son inútiles, y vanas. 10 Huye del hombre herege, después de la primera, y segunda corrección, 11 Sabiendo, que el que es tal, está pervertido, y peca, siendo condenado por su propio juicio. 12 Quando te enviaré á Artemas, ó á Tichîco, apresúrate á venir á mi á Nicópolis: porque he determinado pasar allí el invierno. 13 Envia delante á Zenas Doctor de la ley, y á Apolo, procurando que nada les falte. 14 Y aprendan también los nuestros á ser los primeros en buenas obras para las cosas que son menester, para que no sean sin fruto. 15 Te saludan todos los que están conmigo: saluda á los que nos aman en la fé. La gracia de Dios sea con todos vosotros. Amén.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Having spoken of the love of God to man, of His ineffable regard for us, of what we were and what He has done for us, he has added, "These things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works"; that is, Discourse of these things, and from a …

Ye never grudged any act of kindness, being "ready to every good work." Adorned by a thoroughly virtuous and religious life, ye did all things in the fear of God.
But as many as separate from the Church, and give heed to such old wives' fables as these, are truly self-condemned; and these men Paul commands us, "after a first and second admonition, to avoid." And John, the disciple of the Lord, has intensified their condemnation, when he desires us not even to address to them the salutation of "good-speed;" …
… "Now I know in part, but then shall I know, even as also I am known; and now through a glass in a riddle, but then face to face." For the same apostle also says that we have been saved by the washing of regeneration, and yet declares in another place, "We are saved by hope: but hope that is …

Therefore Paul also said to Timothy, "Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words;" and again in another place, "From such turn away," and, "A man that is an heretic, after the first and second admonition, reject." It is not, you see, that those truths furnish them with armor, but they become fools in this …
