New Testament blessing verses from Paul

[Steven Avery]

These verses were given on BCHF by Bernard Muller, I am using the AV rather than his ASV.

Messiah != Son of God - Page 8 - Biblical Criticism & History Forum - earlywritings.com

=====================================

Romans 1:25 (AV)
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

2 Corinthians 1:3 (AV)
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

2 Corinthians 11:31 (AV)
The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.

=====================================

Compare with:

Romans 9:5 (AV)
Whose are the fathers,
and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came,
who is over all,
God blessed for ever.
Amen.

Brian
Some translations render the attributive participle quite awkwardly in 2 Corinthians 11:31.

Steven
"Quite awkwardly" would be a mistranslation.

=====================================

2 Corinthians 11:31 (AV)
The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
which is blessed for evermore,
knoweth that I lie not.

Does the AV count as one of the awkward translations?

Which ones do you find acceptable?

And who is being blessed for evermore?

Should ask him about the Romans 9:5 omission.
