Titus 2:11-12, For the Grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present age.
This passage in Titus is all about Jesus, being the Grace of God; bringing salvation; He has appeared; to teach us; to deny ungodliness, and worldly lusts; to live soberly, righteously and godly; in this present age.
The word “deny” has the idea of disregarding one's own
interests, by forsaking, or renouncing a thing, whether evil, or good... IF it
is ungodly and a worldly lust.
"Soberly" suggests “the exercise of
that self-restraint that governs all passions and desires, enabling the
believer to be conformed to the mind of Christ” -according to Vine’s Dictionary.
