My son Titos: The Grace

instructing
us,
that,
denying
ungodliness and worldly desires, we
should live soberly, and justly, and
Godly in this world, looking for the
Blessed Hope and Coming of the
Glory of the Great God and our

Himself for us, that He might Redeem
us from all iniquity, and might
cleanse

Himself
a
