11 For the grace of God who saves, was manifested to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and eager worldly desires, we should live discreetly, and justly, and religiously, in the time now; 13 Expecting the blessed hope, and appearance of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify to himself a distinguished people, zealous of good works.
