Tiitus 2:11-15 FB92

”Jumalan armo on näet ilmestynyt pelastukseksi kaikille ihmisille, ja se kasvattaa meitä hylkäämään jumalattomuuden ja maailmalliset himot ja elämään hillitysti, oikeamielisesti ja Jumalaa kunnioittaen tässä maailmassa, kun odotamme autuaan toivomme toteutumista, suuren Jumalan ja Vapahtajamme Jeesuksen Kristuksen kirkkauden ilmestymistä. Hän antoi itsensä alttiiksi meidän puolestamme lunastaakseen meidät vapaiksi kaikesta vääryydestä ja puhdistaakseen meidät omaksi kansakseen, joka kaikin voimin tekee hyvää. Näin sinun tulee puhua, kehottaa ja nuhdella kaikella arvovallalla, eikä kenenkään pidä väheksyä sinua.”

 Titus 2:11-15 Amplified Bible (AMP)

¹¹ For the [remarkable, undeserved] grace of God that ^[a]brings salvation has appeared to all men. ¹² It teaches us to reject ungodliness and worldly (immoral) desires, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives [lives with a purpose that reflect spiritual maturity] in this present age, ¹³ awaiting and confidently expecting the [fulfillment of our] blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, ¹⁴ who [willingly] gave Himself [to be crucified] on our behalf to redeem us and purchase our freedom from all wickedness, and to purify for Himself a chosen and very special people to be His own possession, who are enthusiastic for doing what is good.

¹⁵ Tell them these things. Encourage and rebuke with full authority. Let no one disregard or despise you [conduct yourself and your teaching so as to command respect].
