I've been too busy and have been off list for some months. Hi.

The 3rd and 4th verses of Phillipians 4 are divided up thusly. Is there 
another possible division?

Philippians 
4:3
NAI ERWTW KAI SE GNHSIE SUZUGE SULLAMBANOU AUTAIS AITINES EN TW EUAGGELIW 
SUNHQLHSAN MOI META KAI KLHMENTOS KAI TWN LOIPWN SUNERGWN MOU hWN TA 
ONOMATA EN BIBLW ZWHS
4:4 
CAIRETE EN KURIW PANTOTE PALIN ERW CAIRETE

Could you begin a sentece with hWN, as in:

"Whose names are written in Life's Book, rejoice in the Lord always!"

This would seem to echo Jesus:

Luke 10:20  Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are 
subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in 
heaven.

Also, there is no verb in the clause:

hWN TA ONOMATA EN BIBLW ZWHS

Is that proper Koine?
