This teaching or doctrine which is to be adorned by the lives of God's servants - the teaching of the gospel - is now stated in Tit 2:11-15.

The grace of God (ἡ χάρις τοῦ θεοῦ)

A common Pauline phrase. The exact phrase only here in Pastorals. It is the ultimate ground of salvation. Comp. 2Ti 1:9; Eph 2:5, Eph 2:8; Gal 1:15.

That bringeth salvation (σωτήριος)

Lit. saving. N.T.o. Const. with χαρις grace. The saving grace of God.

Hath appeared (ἐπεφάνη)

Only in Pastorals, Luke, and Acts. In the active voice, to bring to light, show. See on ἐπιφάνεια appearing, 1Ti 6:14.

To all men

Const. with that bringeth salvation, not with hath appeared.

The grace of God which is saving for all men

Comp. 1Ti 2:4.
