Greeting

1 Paul, a ^aservant¹ of God and an ^bapostle of Jesus Christ, for the sake of the faith of God’s ^celect and their ^dknowledge of the truth, ^ewhich accords with godliness,

Teach Sound Doctrine

1 But as for you, teach what accords with ⁱsound¹ doctrine.

11 For ^sthe grace of God has appeared, bringing ^tsalvation ^ufor all people, 12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly ^vpassions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and ^wgodly lives in ^xthe present age, 13 ^ywaiting for our blessed hope, the ^zappearing of the glory of ^aour great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself ^ba people for his own possession who are zealous ^cfor good works.

4 But ^kwhen the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, ^lnot because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the ^mwashing of ⁿregeneration and ^orenewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he ^ppoured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that being justified ^qby his grace we might become ^rheirs according to the ^shope of eternal life.
