Here is a constituent order problem within a text that has other
difficulties. 
NA27

ACTS 20:28 PROSECETE hEAUTOIS KAI PANTI TWi POIMNIWi, EN hWi hUMAS TO PNEUMA
TO hAGION EQETO EPISKOPOUS POIMAINEIN THN EKKLHSIAN TOU QEOU, hHN
PERIEPOIHSATO DIA TOU hAIMATOS TOU IDIOU.

Greek New Testament: Byzantine/Majority Text
Compiled by Dr. Maurice A. Robinson.

ACTS 20:28 PROSECETE OUN EAUTOIS KAI PANTI TW POIMNIW EN W UMAS TO PNEUMA TO
AGION EQETO EPISKOPOUS POIMAINEIN THN EKKLHSIAN TOU KURIOU KAI QEOU HN
PERIEPOIHSATO DIA TOU IDIOU AIMATOS


What would should one make of

MT:  DIA TOU IDIOU AIMATOS
NA27:  DIA TOU hAIMATOS TOU IDIOU

Before addressing this it might be a good idea to review the entire question
of QEOU/KURIOU. There are extensive discussions of this in H.Alford, B.M.
Metzger (Textual Comm. GNT), CK Barrett (ICC), J.A. Fitzmyer (AB).

I am not asking which is the original text, but what semantic significance
can be attributed to the different placement of  IDIOU.
