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.

Rick Duggin
