3 My loved ones, while my thoughts were full of a letter which I was going to send you about our common salvation, it was necessary for me to send you one requesting you with all my heart to go on fighting strongly for the faith which has been given to the saints once and for ever.

3 Sevgili kardeşlerim, size ortak kurtuluşumuzla ilgili yazmaya çok gayret ettim. Bu arada sizi kutsallara ilk ve son kez emanet edilen iman uğrunda mücadeleye özendirmek için yazma gereğini duydum.
