10or steal from them. Instead, they must show that they are always good and faithful, so as to bring credit to the teaching about God our Saviour in all they do.

11For God has revealed his grace for the salvation of the whole human race. 12That grace instructs us to give up ungodly living and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this world, 13as we wait for the blessed Day we hope for, when the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christb will appear. 14*He gave himself for us, to rescue us from all wickedness and to make us a pure people who belong to him alone and are eager to do good.

15Teach these things and use your full authority as you encourage and rebuke your hearers. Let none of them look down on you.
