⁴ But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, appeared,

¹⁰ not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

¹¹ For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

²⁶ else must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once at the end of the ages hath he been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

⁴ but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

⁵ even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved),

⁶ and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly `places', in Christ Jesus:

⁷ that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus:

⁸ for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, `it is' the gift of God;

⁹ not of works, that no man should glory.

¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.

³ but in his own seasons manifested his word in the message, wherewith I was intrusted according to the commandment of God our Saviour;

¹⁰ but hath now been manifested by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

¹⁰ For to this end we labor and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of them that believe.

³ This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

¹ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and Christ Jesus our hope;

²⁰ And the law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly:

²¹ that, as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁴ Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
