Trying one last time on the quote...


Here's an interesting opinion from Wieland Willker's Textual Commentary:
Zahn (Comm. Jo) notes that PARA TOU MONOU QEOU does not mean "from God alone", 
but "from the one who alone is God."
 
There's some good evidence that this is an ancient way of translating the 
phrase. Here is how the Old Latin evidence breaks down:


from the one who alone is God: ff2 aur q 
from him who is God alone: r1
from God alone:  e g1mg f l 
from the only God: a d c 
from him that is the only: b
from the only:  a
 
 
HT to Barry Hofstetter, to whom Latin always sounds sweet.
