The word “God” has the definite article (“the”) before it. It is connected by the word καί with the word “Savior.” There is only one person in the context to which both terms, then, can be applied: Jesus Christ. He is our God and Savior. Various attempts have been made to short-circuit this rule of Greek grammar, all prompted by an unwillingness to believe what the text itself says. Dr. Daniel Wallace’s work on the subject in recent years has only further strengthened the validity of Sharp’s Rule, and its application at Titus 2:13.[26]
