For the grace of God has

appeared, bringing salvation

for all people, training us to

renounce ungodliness and

worldly passions, and to live

self-controlled, upright, and

godly lives in the present age,

waiting for our blessed hope,

the appearing of our great God

and Savior Jesus Christ, who

gave himself for us to redeem

us from all lawlessness and to

purify for himself a people for

his own possession who are

zealous for good works” (Ti.

2:11-14)

themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people.”
