This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
Ver. 12. Denying ungodliness] Every gospel truth strikes at some sin, and thereby may be discerned.
Soberly, righteously, and godly] This is the Christian man’s motto, his symbol, and the sum of his whole duty.
" Haec tria perpetuo meditare adverbia Pauli:
Haec tria sint vitae regula sancta tuae."
The Egyptians when they praised their deceased friends, were wont to commend them for these three things, their godliness, righteousness, and temperance. (Diod. Sicul.)
