1:3	ϲωτηροϲ:of-Saviour	[of-Saviour] – In the letter's opening formula, “God our Saviour” names the one God of Israel, the unlying God who promised eternal life before the ages. The capitalised title marks the one God alone as the source of salvation.
1:4	πιϲτιν:faith	[faith] – The “common faith” that Paul and Titus share is allegiance and trust in the one God. The gloss carries the full first-century sense of faithfulness, a loyalty that binds the community together.
1:4	ϲωτηροϲ:saviour	[saviour] – The same title, lowercased, names Jesus Christ, the Messiah-agent through whom God's saving purpose reaches his people. The lowercase marks the pattern in which God appoints and empowers his agent without merging the two into one being.

2:10	πιϲτιν:faith	[faith] – Slaves are to display “all good faith” toward their masters. The allegiance-and-faithfulness sense of the word is in view: a loyalty proven in honest conduct that adorns the teaching of God.
2:10	ϲωτηροϲ:of-Saviour	[of-Saviour] – “Our Saviour God” is the one God of Israel, and the teaching that believers adorn by faithful conduct is his teaching. The capitalised title marks the one God as the true Saviour.

2:13	ϲωτηροϲ:saviour	[saviour] – The blessed hope is the appearing of the glory of the great God, and the same clause names Jesus Christ “our saviour” — the one who gave himself to ransom and cleanse the people (2:14). The lowercase title marks the Messiah-agent, while the great God of the same clause bears the capitalised title.
2:14	περιουϲιον:special	[special] – Drawn from the Greek of Exodus 19:5, where God names Israel his special treasured possession, the gloss carries that covenant-possession identity: the cleansed people whom Christ purified for himself are God's own special people.

3:4	ϲωτηροϲ:of-Saviour	[of-Saviour] – “The kindness and love-for-people of our Saviour God” appeared when God's mercy saved us. The capitalised title names the one God, the source of salvation, whose mercy — not our works of righteousness — accomplished our rescue.
3:6	ϲωτηροϲ:saviour	[saviour] – The spirit was poured out richly “through Jesus Christ our saviour,” the Messiah-agent through whom God's cleansing renewal is given to us. The lowercase title marks the agent of the one God.

3:10	αιρετικον:Divisive	[divisive] – In this first-century letter the term denotes a factional, schism-making individual. Set among foolish disputes, genealogies, quarrels, and legal fights (3:9), the divisive person is one who tears the community apart; such a one is refused after a first and then a second warning.
