Titus 2:11-14: "For the grace of
God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches
us to say 'No' to ungodliness and worldly passions, and
to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present
age, while we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious
appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, Who gave
Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for
Himself a people that are His very Own, eager to do what is
good."
