Col. 3:2
APEQANETE GAR,
KAI hH ZWH hUMWN KEKRUPTAI SUN TWi CRISTWi EN TWi QEWi.
hOTAN hO CRISTOS FANERWQHi,
hH ZWH hUMWN,
TOTE KAI hUMEIS SUN AUTWi FANERWQHSETAI EN DOXHi
Reacting to hH ZWH hUMWN similarly to Lattimore, I'm inclined to render this
as
Because you've died, and your lives are hidden with Christ in God. When
Christ appears, your lives will appear too. Then you'll be revealed with him
in glory.
Does anybody have grammatical or other evidence that rules out this reading
(e.g. unanimity among ancient versions that it means "Christ, who is your
life")?
