Dear B-Greekers,
My question pertains to the last two words of 2 Co.8:23 --
EITE hUPER TITOU, KOINWNOS EMOS KAI EIS hUMAS
SUNERGOS; EITE ADELFOI hHMWN, APOSTOLOI EKKLHSIWN,
DOXA CRISTOU.
It seems to me that DOXA CRISTOU is most likely an objective
genitive, meaning that the brothers are a glory "to" Christ, rather than
a subjective genitive, a reflection of Christ's glory. But I am toying
with the idea that the phrase may be an example of intentional
ambiguity in order to convey both ideas.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
