JND Translation Notes

a
The one article in Greek refers "God and Father" to one person, without necessarily referring "our" to more than Father, which it follows in Greek. "Now may himself [who is] God and our Father."
b
Here "direct" in Greek is in the singular; God the Father and Christ the Lord forming, so to speak, one in the apostle's mind, though, personally, clearly distinguished.
