One God (eiv qeov). Regular Pauline argument for a universal gospel (Galatians 3:20; Romans 3:30; Ephesians 4:6).

One mediator (eiv mesithv). Late word (Polybius, Philo) from mesov (middle), a middle man. In N.T. only here, Galatians 3:20; Hebrews 8:6; Hebrews 9:15; Hebrews 12:24.

Between God and men (qeou kai anqrwpwn). Ablative case (though objective genitive may explain it) after mesithv (notion of separation) as in Romans 10:12; Hebrews 5:14.

Himself man (anqrwpov). No "himself" (autov) in the Greek.
