JMNT(i)
23 So without delay an agent of [the] Lord [= Yahweh or Christ] from necessity struck him, in return for that [situation] – [since] he did not give the credit (or: glory) to God. Later, having come to be consumed (or: eaten) by worms, he expired (breathed out).
24 But the Logos of God (God's Word, thought and idea; or: the message pertaining to and the source of which is God; the verbal expression which is God [B reads: the Lord {= Christ or Yahweh}]) kept on growing (increasing) and continued being multiplied.
