Titus 2:11
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
Permalink Verse page
Interpretation

Titus 2:11 shows a grace appeared that is lived within study and play—see "grace" and "god". Give grace appeared in generosity without notice—teach the body new reflexes. Grace & Mercy connects here: Highlights God’s unmerited favor and covenantal compassion, culminating in Christ (Exod 34:6; Eph 2:8–9).

Context

This passage belongs to Titus, a epistle/letter witness, developing grace appeared. Read in Titus 2, its force becomes clearer. It also intersects grace & mercy. Listen for “grace” alongside “god”.
