Acts 2:47 (a)
AINOUNTES TON QEON KAI ECONTES CARIN PROS hOLON TON LAON hO DE KURIOS  
PROSETIQEI TOUS SWiZOMENOUS KAQ hHMERAN EPI TO AUTO

My question is over ECONTES CARIN PROS hOLON TON LAON. Does this mean  
(1) they enjoyed CARIS of the people (because of their activities in  
2:42-26) or (2) that they had CARIS towards or for the people, or (3)  
an ambiguous mixture of both?

BDAG's entry for PROS leans towards the community's favor towards TON  
LAON (2), while English versions I have found favor the believing  
community as the recipient (1). On the B-Greek archives I saw an  
older discussion that seemed to indicate (3), but I couldn't find the  
full discussion.
