Translation Note
ἡ ἀρχὴ τῆς κτίσεως τοῦ θεοῦ. ἀρχή is a noun, nominative, singular, feminine. Dodson’s range is “(a) rule (kingly or magisterial), (b) plur: in a quasi-personal sense, almost: rulers, magistrates, (c) beginning.” It is followed by two genitives, “of the creation” and “of God.”
The King James Version reads “the beginning of the creation of God.” The New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible) reads “the beginning of the creation by God.” “By” and “of” are both English readings of the genitive τοῦ θεοῦ. The Greek word is the genitive article and noun, not a preposition meaning “by.”
