In 2. Petrus 1:1 liest die Neue-Welt-Übersetzung „die Gerechtigkeit unseres Gottes und des Retters Jesus Christus“ (englisch „the righteousness of our God and the Savior Jesus Christ“) und fügt damit vor „Retter“ den Artikel ein. Die englische American Standard Version von 1901 liest nahezu gleichlautend: „in the righteousness of our God and the Saviour Jesus Christ“.

“to those who have acquired a faith as precious as ours through the righteousness of our God and the Savior Jesus Christ”
The 2013 rendering inserts 'the' before 'Savior', separating the two. The 1984 Reference Bible read 'by the righteousness of our God and [the] Savior Jesus Christ', with the supplied article bracketed.

“New International Version: “the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ”; English Standard Version: “the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ”; New Revised Standard Version: “through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ”. American Standard Version: “in the righteousness of our God and the Saviour Jesus Christ”; King James Bible: “through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ”.”
The American Standard Version of 1901 renders 2 Peter 1:1 almost exactly as the 2013 New World Translation does, inserting 'the' before 'Saviour'; the King James Version likewise separates the two.

“And our Saviour Jesus Christ: there being but one article in the Greek, these words are to be understood conjunctly, the particle and being but an explicative, and the sense is: Through the righteousness of our God, even our Saviour Jesus Christ, who is God”

Hinweis zu Herkunft und Überprüfung for Matthew Poole’s Commentary on the Holy Bible, Commentary on 2 Peter 1:1
Hinweis zur Vertrauensangabe.Commentary page opened on 19 September 2026 and the passage read in full on Bible Hub's reproduction; no printed edition consulted. Independent audit, 19 September 2026: this record previously named Matthew Poole as the author. Poole died in 1679 having annotated only as far as Isaiah 58; the rest of the Annotations upon the Holy Bible, including 1 and 2 Peter, was completed by other Nonconformist divines and published in 1685 (the 1 and 2 Peter portion is usually attributed to Edward Veale). Because the specific attribution is not certain and the text was read on a secondary reproduction, the confidence is “supported”.

“This indicates that when two distinct persons are connected by καί, if the first person is preceded by the definite article it is not necessary to repeat the definite article before the second person. … According to An Idiom Book of New Testament Greek, by C. F. D. Moule, Cambridge, England, 1971, p. 109, the sense “of the great God, and of our Saviour Jesus Christ . . . is possible in κοινή [koi·neʹ] Greek even without the repetition [of the definite article].””
The organisation's defence of reading two persons at Titus 2:13. The appendix lists eleven translations from 1719 to 1972 that render it the same way and quotes Ezra Abbot at length.
