2:11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people. 1 2:12 It trains us 2 to reject godless ways 3 and worldly desires and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,
2:1 But as for you, communicate the behavior that goes with 4 sound teaching.
3:1 Remind them to be subject to rulers and 5 authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work.
1:3 What benefit 8 do people 9 get from all the effort
which 10 they expend 11 on earth? 12
3:11 God has made everything fit beautifully 13 in its appropriate time,
but 14 he has also placed ignorance 15 in the human heart 16
so that 17 people 18 cannot discover what God has ordained, 19
from the beginning to the end 20 of their lives. 21
