Titus 2:11-14; 3:4-7 (Epistle)
- 11
- For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,
- 12
- teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,
- 13
- looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
- 14
- who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.
- 4
- But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared,
- 5
- not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
- 6
- whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
- 7
- that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
