Can John 1:1c be translated, "and the Word was also god"?
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was also god."
— John 1:1
Can the passage of John 1:1 be translated this way, with the last section being rendered as, "and the Word was also god", with the theos lacking the article being qualitative and reinforced with the "also" to denote the Word's nature being that of God the Father?
Thank you.
