Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
γὰρ
for
The word translated as For indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: [They should do this because]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
ἐπεφάνη & ἡ χάρις τοῦ Θεοῦ
/has/_appeared & the grace ¬the ˱of˲_God
Paul speaks of the grace of God as if it were a person who has arrived. See the UST for other ways to express this. Alternate translation: [God is now offering his grace]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐπεφάνη γὰρ ἡ χάρις τοῦ Θεοῦ σωτήριος πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις
/has/_appeared for the grace ¬the ˱of˲_God salvation ˱to˲_all people
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of grace, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [For God has been extremely kind by making a way to save all men]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
σωτήριος πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις
salvation ˱to˲_all people
Here the word salvific describes God's grace, meaning that it is like a person who has the characteristic of saving people. Alternate translation: [able to save all men] or [working to save all men] or [bringing salvation for all men]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις
˱to˲_all people
Although the term men is masculine, Paul is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [for all people]
2:11 has been revealed (literally has appeared): See study note on 1 Tim 6:14.
• salvation to all people: Paul intends that God’s grace will fully accomplish its ends among the Cretans and that, in doing so, it will enlist them into God’s saving work of evangelism (Titus 2:12; see 1 Tim 2:1-7; 4:10).
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
