Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live sensibly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
All Commentaries on Titus 2:12 Go To Titus 2
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
Paul must receive, embrace and observe, without any reserve, those commandments of the law which help to form the character of the faithful, such as that “denying ungodliness and worldly desires, we should live soberly and justly and godly in this world” and “Thou shalt not covet,” chosen by the apostle as the part of the law worthy of the greatest commendation; and also the commandments about loving God and our neighbor, as set forth in the law without any figure or mystery…. But whatever progress he makes in them he must not attribute it to himself but to “the grace of God by Jesus Christ our Lord.” .
