11For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to everyone.
12It instructs us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives in the present age,
13as we await the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
14He gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.
15Speak these things as you encourage and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.
