To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled.

Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity,

not pilfering, but showing all good faith, so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior.

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people,

who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.

Declare these things; exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you.

to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people.

All who are with me send greetings to you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.
