12. ὅπως] rare with St Paul, and used here probably to vary the preceding ἵνα, cf. 1 Corinthians 1:29, 2 Corinthians 8:14 (Blass p. 211). ἐνδοξασθῇ] cf. v. 10 note, and for the reciprocity here implied (ἐνὑμ. κ. ὑμ. ἐναὐτῷ) resting on the essential union between the Lord and His people see John 17:9 f., 20 ff. τὸὄνοματ. κυρ. ἡμ. Ἰησοῦ] The use of ὄνομα here goes back to the O.T., where in accordance with its most characteristic usage ‘ the name of Jehovah’ is to be understood as embodying His (revealed) character (see B.D.B. s.v. ùÑÅí, and cf. Art. ‘ Name’ in Hastings’ D.B. 3. p. 478 ff.). The glorification of the name of the Lord Jesus thus implies the showing forth of the Lord Jesus as He really is, in all the fulness of His person and attributes (cf. Philippians 2:9 f., Hebrews 1:4).With this may be compared the well-established Gk. usage of ὄνομα as a title of dignity or rank, e.g. P.Oxy. 58 (3/a.d.) where the writer complains of the expense caused to the treasury by the number of persons who have devised ‘ offices’ for themselves (ὀνόματαἑαυτοῖςἐξευρόντες), and, after providing for a single trustworthy superintendent, ordains that the remaining ‘ offices’ shall cease (τὰδὲλοιπὰὀνόματαπαύσηται). It should be noted however that very frequently ὄνομα can mean little more than ‘ person,’ e.g. B.G.U. 113, 11 (2./a.d.) ἑκάστῳὀνόματιπαραγ(ενομένῳ): see further Deissmann BS. p. 196 ff., Reitzenstein Poimandres p. 17 n.6, and cf. the note on 3:6.κατὰτὴνχάρινκτλ.] not merely the norm but the source of the glorification spoken of in accordance with a common derived use of κατά (WM. p. 501). Pelag.: ‘ Expetit a nobis, qued possumus: ut qued non possumus, largiatur.’The fact that the art. is not repeated before κυρίου would seem at first sight to imply that both θεοῦ and κυρίου refer to the same person, ‘ (grace) of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ.’ But this cannot be pressed in view of the frequent occurrence of κύριος without the art. as practically equivalent to a proper name, and it is more in keeping with general Pauline usage to distinguish between the Father as θεός and Jesus Christ as κύριος, cf. in these Epp. I. 1:1, II. 1:1, 1:2, 2:16. We translate therefore as in the R.V., ‘ according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ’ : see further Middleton On the Greek Article (ed. Rose) p. 379 ff.
