Recently AUTOS and Granville Sharp have been discussed.
However I am interested in the translation of 1 Thess 3:11 AUTOS DE
hO QEOS KAI PATHR hHMWN. Essentially there are two ways to
translate this (1) "God himself and our father" and (2) "our God and
father himself".
I have checked some translations and 7 give (1) and 12 give (2), while
the New Jerusalem Bible gives "God our father himself".
I would tend to favo(u)r (1), keeping phrases on either side of KAI
together.
Is there any objective way to decide on a preferred translation?
Regards,
Noel Fitzpatrick.
