For the grace of God that bringeth salvation unto all men, hath appeared, and teacheth us, that we should deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and that we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope and glorious appearing of the mighty God, and of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, which gave himself for us, to redeem us from all unrighteousness, and to ⟨p. 81⟩purge us a peculiar people unto himself, fervently given unto good works.
For the grace of God that bringeth saluation vnto all men, hath appeared, and teacheth vs, that we should denie vngodlinesse and worldly lusts, and that we should liue soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope and glorious appearing of the mighty God, and of our Sauiour, Iesus Christ, which gaue himselfe for vs, to redeeme vs from all vnrighteousnesse, and to ⟨p. 81⟩purge vs a peculiar people vnto himself, feruently giuen vnto good works.
Again, Titus 3. For we our selves also were in times past unwise, disobedient, deceived, serving lusts, and divers pleasures living in maliciousness and any, full of hate, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour to manward appeared, not by the deeds of righteousness which we wrought, but of his mercy he saved us by the fountain of the new birth, and with the renewing of the holy Ghost, which he shed on us abundantly, through Jesus Christ our saviour; that we once justified by his grace, should be heirs of eternal life, through hope. This is a true saying. But I will make an end, for I am too tedious.
Againe, Titus 3. For we our selues also were in times past vnwise, disobedient, deceiued, seruing lusts, and diuers pleasures liuing in maliciousnesse and enny, full of hate, and hating one another. But after that the kindnesse and loue of God our Sauiour to manward appeared, not by the deeds of righteousnesse which wee wrought, but of his mercy hee saued vs by the fountaine of the new birth, and with the renewing of the holy Ghost, which he shedde on vs aboundantly, through Iesus Christ our sauior; that we once iustified by his grace, shuld be heires of eternal life, through hope. This is a true saying. But I wil make an end, for I am too tedious.
