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 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.
