Devotion to Christ

11
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to
all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly
lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the
present age, 13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious
appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who
gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every
lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people,
zealous for good works.

Titus 2:11-14
