3 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning the common salvation, it was necessary for me to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

3 Amados, procurando eu escrever-vos com toda a diligência acerca da salvação comum, tive por necessidade escrever-vos, e exortar-vos a batalhar pela fé que uma vez foi dada aos santos.
