Exegesis

The genitive tēs doxēs is further modified by the coordinated genitives tou megalou theou kai sōtēros hēmōn Iēsou Christou {τοῦ μεγάλου θεοῦ καὶ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ | toû me-gá-lou the-oû kaí sō-tê-ros hē-môn Iē-soû Khri-stoû}, where the single article tou connects ‘God’ and ‘Savior’, identifying Jesus Christ as both. This structure underscores a high Christology and an eschatological focus on the imminent manifestation of divine glory. In translation, the formal uses a finite clause (“Waiting for”) and the dynamic employs a temporal-aspectual clause (“As we wait for”), both preserving the continuous expectation and clear coordination of objects.
