The main ACTION is the appearance of the grace of God, which came for the PURPOSE of bringing salvation to all. The MANNER in which the grace of God brought salvation was through a two-fold instruction: Denying ungodliness and worldly desires. Living sensibly, righteously, and godly. Denying and living are to be done "in the present age", yet there is something to look for in the future: another appearance--that of the glory of God. I have labeled the relationship of 12-13 as an ACTION-MANNER clause, yet I wonder if it could be a TEMPORAL relationship (while they renounce and live, they are to look forward to the glorious appearance). Jesus appeared to give himself (ACTION-PURPOSE), and he gave himself for 2 more progressive PURPOSES: to redeem and to purify (which I see as a subtle progression with sanctification implications). One might see a risk in Paul saying that grace brought salvation through instruction (as if instructing for works--especially with the highlight of devotion to good works in v. 14), but I see v. 14 provide a fitting conclusion to the notion of God's grace that appeared in Jesus Christ, who graciously gave himself to secure our redemption, purification, and devotion to good works. We truly work out our salvation through him who works in us to will and to work according to his good pleasure.
