Literal (Young’s Literal Translation)

Translation Note

The SBL text is ἀλλ’ ἡμῖν εἷς θεὸς ὁ πατήρ, ἐξ οὗ τὰ πάντα καὶ ἡμεῖς εἰς αὐτόν, καὶ εἷς κύριος Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, δι’ οὗ τὰ πάντα καὶ ἡμεῖς δι’ αὐτοῦ. εἷς is “one.” ἐξ οὗ is “from whom.” δι’ οὗ is “through whom.” τὰ πάντα, “all things,” is used of the Father and of Jesus Christ.

The King James reads “one God, the Father, of whom are all things,” and “one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things.” The New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible) reads “from whom” and “through whom.” The Greek prepositions are ἐξ and διά. The verse does not say the Lord is outside the all things.

King James Version. But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible), this verse. “there is actually to us one God, the Father, from whom all things are and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and we through him.” Watchtower Online Library
