2:13  as we wait for the blessed Day we hope for, when the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ will appear.
2:14  He gave himself for us, to rescue us from all wickedness and to make us a pure people who belong to him alone and are eager to do good.
2:15  Teach these things and use your full authority as you encourage and rebuke your hearers. Let none of them look down on you.
