Romans 1:1a

PAULOS DOULOS IHSOU CRISTOU KLHTOS APOSTOLOS...


Using your revised thinking on the Apposition/Predicate,
how would you translate this concatenate of Nominatives?
And, what would you consider to be an invalid translation?

Paul, servant of Jesus Christ, chosen, apostle...

Paul, servant of JC, [who is a] chosen apostle...

Paul, servant of JC, chosen [to be] an apostle...

etc...


Thanks,
