TITUS 2:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;”
Awaiting our blessed hope, the appearing (epiphaneia) of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ — the eschatological hope centers on epiphaneia (visible manifestation), parallel to the epephanē of grace in verse 11, creating theological symmetry: grace appeared; we await its culmination. The title megas theos kai sōtēr Iēsous Christos (great God and Savior Jesus Christ) invokes the Granville Sharp rule, asserting Christ's deity through grammatical construction (single article + megas + theoi + kai + sōtēr). The blessed hope (makaria elpis) combines joy and confident expectation.
