Thanks Steve and others,
I agree that the antecedent for TOUTOIS is AGGELOUS of Jude 6. However,
this not through my own grasping of grammatical explanations offered by
the list.
Louw-Nida and Bauer show SODOMA to be neuter. If SODOMA really is neuter
and not feminine (i.e., if SODOMA, GOMORRA and POLEIS are not *all*
feminine), then it seems grammatically plausible that TOUTOIS (masc.
pl.) could refer to "SODOMA KAI GOMORRA KAI AI PERI AUTAS POLEIS",
according to my understanding of pronoun-antecedent gender agreement,
and ignoring, perhaps, other grammar rules.
(Thanks for patience with my ignorance mingled perhaps with obstinacy...
