Literal (Young’s Literal Translation)

waiting for the blessed hope and manifestation of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ,

Translation Note

The phrase is τοῦ μεγάλου θεοῦ καὶ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ. One article, τοῦ, stands over two singular nouns, θεοῦ and σωτῆρος, joined by καί. The article is not repeated before σωτῆρος.

The King James Version reads “the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” The New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible) inserts a second “of” (“and of our Savior”), which reads as two persons. That second “of” is not a second article in the Greek.
