3 Amados, embora estivesse muito ansioso por lhes escrever acerca da salvação que compartilhamos, senti que era necessário escrever-lhes insistindo que batalhassem pela fé uma vez por todas confiada aos santos.

3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write to you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write to you, and exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints.
