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, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints.
