HCSB > nKJV in Titus 2:13

Titus 2:13 (HCSB):

while we wait for the blessed hope and the appearing
of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Titus 2:13 (nKJV):

looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing
of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

IMHO the HCSB is stronger here than the nKJV
in regard to the unity of God and
or blessed Savior, Jesus, the Christ.

 

Amen, Brother Watchman - Preach it!

In the nKJV there are two understandings of the "and"
seperating "great God" and "Savior Jesus Christ:

1. The "and" joins two similar sets: "great God"
and "Savior Jesus Christ".

2. The "and" joins two equal sets: "great God"
and "Savior Jesus Christ". That is: "great God"
is the same exact as "Savior Jesus Christ".

In the HCSB = Holman Christian Standard Bible, there is
no doubt: the "great God" and "Savior"
are both equal sets and both are "Jesus Christ"
for the comma makes "Jesus Christ the same as
"great God and Savior".

Thus the HCSB is stronger on the deity of Jesus
than is the nKJV.

 

The HCSB > nKJV in Titus 3:5!

Titus 3:5 (nKJV):

not by works of righteousness
which we have
done, but according to His mercy He saved
us, through the washing of regeneration
and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

Titus 3:5 (HSCB):

He saved us-- not by works of righteousness
that we had
done, but according to His mercy,
through the washing of regeneration
and renewal by the Holy Spirit.

Both these readings can be understood
correctly that the Holy Spirit renews
us. But the nKJV can also be misunderstood
to mean that we renew the Holy Spirit.
(I wouldn't believe it, save it was
mentioned to me). The Holy Spirit renews
us, we don't enhanse the Holy Spirit.

The HCSB is less likely to
be misunderstood there than the
nKJV. The HCSB is > (greater than)
the nKJV in Titus 3:5.

 

You lost me here Daniel David.

I found an interesting definition at:

Alpha & Omega Ministries

//Basically, Granville Sharp's rule states that when you have two nouns, which are not proper names (such as Cephas, or Paul, or Timothy), which are describing a person, and the two nouns are connected by the word "and," and the first noun has the article ("the") while the second does not, both nouns are referring to the same person. In our texts, this is demonstrated by the words "God" and "Savior" at Titus 2:13 and 2 Peter 1:1. "God" has the article, it is followed by the word for "and," and the word "Savior" does not have the article. Hence, both nouns are being applied to the same person, Jesus Christ. This rule is exceptionless. One must argue solely on theological grounds against these passages.//

So i don't know what you said.
