The word order for the independent clause TOUTOU MATAIOS hH QRHSKEIA in James 1:26 seems unusual to me. The referent for the pronoun seems to be TIS, found at the beginning of the verse, and it is in the genitive. I guess I must be confused as to what type of genitive it is. From the translations, I would have expected hH QRHSKEIA TOUTOU MATAIOS ESTIN or, for emphasis, MATAIOS hH QRHSKEIA TOUTOU. What's going on with what we actually find here?
Thanks,
Paul
