Mark:

Are you aware that the Greek Personal Pronoun EGW in
the Genitive case hHMWN (here plural) is how you form
a Possessive Pronoun? If you are not familiar with
Greek, it would look like this "the redemption (of)
the body (of) ours." I think that would reduce to "the
redemption of our body."

Check out here again to see if any professors answer
this; I'm a student like you.
