Translation note
In Greek a single article covers “great God” and “Savior,” and “our” follows both; so it is translated as one person, Jesus the Messiah (compare 2 Peter 1:11, “our Lord and Savior Jesus the Messiah”). It can also be understood as “of the great God and of our Savior Jesus the Messiah.”
