TITUS 2:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 1
“Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.”
Who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people zealous for good works — Christ's self-giving (heauton edōken) echoes Isaiah 53 and Galatians 1:4, establishing substitutionary atonement as the foundation for redemption from lawlessness (adikia). The purpose is twofold: personal redemption and corporate consecration — Christ purifies a people (laos) exclusively his own (periousios), marked by zeal for good works (ergōn kalōn). Sanctification becomes not escape from creation but transformed living within it.
