Sharp’s study of the text of the New Testament led him to recognize that when the writer used a particular construction of “article (the word “the”)—substantive (noun)—καί,—substantive,” and when the personal nouns involved were singular and not proper names, they always referred to the same person.[25] The significance to Titus 2:13 is found in the fact that the phrase “our great God and Savior” fits this pattern exactly: τοῡ μεγάλον θεοῡ καί σωτῆρος ῆμώυ Ίησοῡ Χριστοῡ
