the grace of God has appeared - Paul speaks of the grace of God as if it were a person who goes to other people. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-personification)

This personification note does not fit with other translations. (Other translations have “has been revealed” or “God has revealed.” The verb ἐπιφαίνω is about appearing or shining – not about coming or going.) I see no need to call it personification.

Suggested note:

the grace of God has appeared
"the grace of God has been revealed" or "the grace of God has been shown"

**the grace of God has appeared** - Paul speaks of the grace of God as if it were a person who goes to other people.
