This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Tit 2:13. Προσδεχόμενοι, looking for) with joy.-ἐλπίδα-Θεοῦ, hope-of God) This may be referred to Christ.[11]-σωτῆρος, Saviour) ch. Tit 3:4; Tit 3:6, where the mention of the Father and of the Son is made in very close connection, as here, ch. Tit 2:11; Tit 2:13. [Hope corresponds to the name of Saviour; the appearance of the glory, to that of God.-V. g.]

[11] See my note on 1Ti 5:21. This must refer to Christ; for ἐπιφάνεια, is never applied to God the Father, but always to the Son. And when two compatible attributives joined by a copula are thus preceded by but one article, they must refer to the one and the same person: of Him who is at once the great God and our Saviour: τοῦ, viz. ὄντος μεγ, Θεοῦ καὶ ωτ.-ED.
