in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before the ages of time,

that the elder men be sober, grave, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience;

teaching us that, having denied impiety and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, and justly, and piously in the present course of things,

But when the kindness and love to man of our Saviour God appeared,

that, having been justified by his grace, we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

All with me salute thee. Salute those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.
