God’s Grace Brings Salvation

11 For the saving grace of God has appeared to everyone.[fn] 12 It instructs us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, [and] to live sensible, upright, and godly [lives] in the present age, 13 as we await the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.[fn] 14 He 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.

15 Speak these things [as] you encourage and rebuke with all authority. {Let} no one despise you.
