Titus 2:13
New World Translation
While we wait for the happy hope and glorious manifestation of the great God and of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
To deny the divinity of Jesus Christ, the anonymous authors of the New World Translation altered Titus 2:13 by adding a second “of” in the text, in front of “our Savior Jesus Christ.” In fact, in the Greek text appears only once “tou”, that is “of”, in front of “megalou Theou” which means “great God”.
The Greek text is as follows:
Prosdecomenoi tēn makarian elpida kai epiphaneian tēs doxēs tou megalou Theou kai Sōtēros hēmōn Iēsou Christou.
The Greek text has “kai Sōtēros” (and Savior), not “kai tou Sōtēros” (and of Savior), and therefore it should be translated as follows:
Waiting for the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
In his pastoral letter, Paul clearly states that Jesus Christ is “our great God and Savior”. Moreover, in the New Testament, the “coming” and the “manifestation” are always attributed to Jesus (Matthew 16:27; 24:26.27.44; Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:16; Philippians 3:20; Titus 2:13; 1 John 2:28; Revelation 1:7), never to the Father. The anonymous authors of the New World Translation introduced the same alteration in 2 Peter 1:1.

When Scripture distinguishes Jesus from God, it is because it is distinguishing the person of the Son from that of the Father, and not because it is denying the divinity of Jesus, spelled out in many other scriptures (John 20:28; Acts 20:28; Colossians 2:9; Titus 2:13; 2 Peter 1:1). In fact, whenever Scripture distinguishes Jesus from the Father, while the latter is called “God”, Jesus is called “Lord” (1 Corinthians 8:6; Romans 10:9). But God himself is “Lord” (Genesis 9:26; 13:4; 14:22) and “only Lord” (Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29). And calling Jesus “Lord” (Philippians 2:11; 1 Corinthians 12:3) and “only Lord” (1 Corinthians 8:6; Jude 1:4) and “Lord of all” (Acts 10:36; Romans 10:12) , Scripture clearly tells us that he is God. Attention, this is not a second God, since Jesus is one God with the Father (John 10:30), because he participates fully in the same and indivisible nature of the Father (John 16:15).
