Jim,

I'll let Carl say for himself what he found misleading, but I was confused
by your comment that "The participles contain the subject."  The rest made
sense to me, but what did that mean?  Surely the subject of the imperatives
in 12:14 and of the infinitives in 12:15 is an implied "you" (hMEIS or
hUMAS), which must be understood as the readers, a group distinct from the
group(s) described in the participles.  Right?  And then in 12:15, the
participles are the objects of prepositions (META).  So how could they
"contain the subject" of the verbs?  I don't understand what you were trying
to say here.

ERRWSO,

XPIC
