Edgar,

As Carl pointed out, your question is a matter of discourse analysis, which 
might appear on its surface to be a subject separate from the interests of 
b-greek.  But as Carl also pointed out in another post, GAR always has the 
force of explaining what preceded.  I completely agree with your conclusion 
that Phil 1:8 is better taken as part of the previous argument because the 
GAR explains what went before.And so our understanding of the Greek text 
ought to be the primary informant of our determination of the 
structure.  That produces good exegesis.
