Titus Study Notes—Chapter 3

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 3:4
  
  our Savior, God: See study note on 1Ti 1:1.
  
  his love for mankind: Paul here describes the feelings that God, “our Savior,” has toward people, including those who do not yet serve him. (Joh 3:16) One lexicon defines the Greek word phi·lan·thro·piʹa (“love for mankind”) in this context as God’s “affectionate concern for and interest in humanity.” (Compare study note on Ac 28:2; see also Tit 2:11.) This Greek term was at times used in secular writings to refer to a judge who showed mercy toward someone who stood condemned.
