----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,
Mark Wilson
