Greetings, REF. Acts 20:28 The church of the Lord would be wrong because the word in the Koine Greek is THEOU which is God. the word for Lord, Kurios isn't used in the passage. CDBJ |

Greetings CDBJ! Actually, the manuscript evidence is pretty strong for both readings: 'church of God' or 'church of Lord'. Interestingly, the early manuscripts were all uncials (or capitals) and 'God' and 'Lord' were, as holy names, customarily abbreviated. The difference between the two abbreviated words would have been a single letter. Thus, either reading could have been original. Thus, the external evidence is pretty even. The internal evidence, though, favors 'church of God'. It would be difficult to see why anyone would deliberately change 'Lord' to 'God' in light of the fact that 'church of God' and 'the blood of God' are much more difficult and unlikely readings than 'church of Lord' and 'blood of Lord'.
