whom he poured out on us in full measure through Jesus Christ our Savior.

It trains us to reject godless ways and worldly desires and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,

He gave himself for us to set us free from every kind of lawlessness and to purify for himself a people who are truly his, who are eager to do good.

he saved us not by works of righteousness that we have done but on the basis of his mercy, through the washing of the new birth and the renewing of the Holy Spirit,

Everyone with me greets you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.
