whereto he has called you by our glad tidings, to the obtaining of the gloryh of our Lord Jesus Christ.

JND Translation Notes

h

"The obtaining of the glory" is without the article in Greek. With the article it would refer to the fact of obtaining the glory; without it, it is the character of the calling. "to obtaining glory." What that glory is is then stated. "that of our Lord Jesus Christ." "We are called to obtention of glory, [that] of our Lord Jesus Christ."

W. Kelly Translation

14

whereuntoa he called you by our gospel unto obtaining of [the] glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

WK Translation Notes

a

Some MSS. add "also," others read "us" for "you," both in my judgment to the detriment of the force and beauty of the text.
