Translation Note
The phrase is τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν καὶ σωτῆρος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ. One article, τοῦ, governs θεοῦ and σωτῆρος, both genitive singular, joined by καί. There is no second article before σωτῆρος.
The King James Version reads “of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” The New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible) reads “of our God and the Savior Jesus Christ,” supplying “the” before “Savior.” The Greek article is the one τοῦ before θεοῦ.
