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

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.

Dear friends, while I was making every effort to write to you about our common salvation, I felt that I must write to you at once to encourage you to fight in defense of the faith that has once for all been entrusted to the keeping of Christ’s people.

Geliebte, indem ich allen Fleiß anwandte, euch über unser gemeinsames Heil zu schreiben, war ich genötigt, euch zu schreiben und zu ermahnen, für den einmal den Heiligen überlieferten Glauben zu kämpfen.

Amados, por la gran solicitud que tenía de escribiros de la común salud, me ha sido necesario escribiros amonestándoos que contendáis eficazmente por la fe que ha sido una vez dada á los santos.

Amados, procurando eu vos escrever com todo empenho sobre a nossa salvação comum, eu tive por necessário vos escrever e exortar a batalhar pela fé que de uma vez foi entregue aos santos.

Amados, enquanto eu me esforçava para vos escrever sobre a salvação que nos é comum, tive que me corresponder convosco para exortar-vos a batalhardes para permanecerdes na fé que, de uma vez por todas, foi dada aos santos.
