Titus 2:11-12

v11: The gospel brings salvation. It both "reveals and offers" salvation "to sinners and ensures it to believers." This "salvation from sin and wrath, from death and hell," is "open to all," to Jews and to Gentiles, "and all are invited to come and share in its benefits."

v12: God's grace in the gospel brings salvation and it leads to transformation by giving "directions about what to shun and what to follow, what to avoid and what to do." It "first teaches us to stop doing what is evil, to abandon sin," to put away "ungodliness, irreligion, all unbelief, worldly passions, neglect or disrespect of the divine Being," and "not loving him, fearing him, trusting in him, or obeying him as we should." But then it teaches us to do what is good, to "live soberly with respect to ourselves, properly governing our appetites and passions," to "live uprightly toward all others... doing good to others according to our ability and their need," and to "be godly toward God, by fulfilling the duties of his worship and service."
