BAGD says under EPI that the implied substantive is TOUTWi - based on this
(fact), namely that ALL have sinned, then death came to ALL people.
I believe this is a general principle with Greek relatives. If it is hard to
find the antecedent, we may look for an implied demonstrative or personal
pronoun.
