From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 11. For the grace of God. The favour of God, shown to the undeserving. See Barnes "Ro 1:7". That bringeth salvation. Marg., to all men, hath appeared. That is, in the margin, "the grace which brings salvation to all men has been revealed." The marginal reading is most in accordance with the Greek, though it will bear either construction. If that which is in the text be adopted, it means that the plan of salvation has been revealed to all classes of men; that is, that it is announced or revealed to all the race that they may be saved. Comp. See Barnes "Col 1:23".
