Translation Note
ὁ θεὸς τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ. The King James reads “the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory.” Verse 3 of the same chapter is ὁ θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, “the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
The New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible) reads “the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory.” The phrase names the Father as the God of the Lord Jesus. Hebrews 1:8–9 has that same Father address the Son as God.
