EPISTLE Titus 2:11-15
Beloved:
The grace of God our Saviour hath appeared to all men: Instructing us,
that, denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly
and justly and godly in this world, looking for the blessed hope and
coming of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Who
gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity and might
cleanse to himself a people acceptable, a pursuer of good works. These
things speak and exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no man
despise thee.
