As WN is a _plural_ genitive do you think it can  refer back to a 
_singular_ genetive (knowledge) or to DOCHi KAI ARETHi or even to the other 
plural in v.3 i.e PANTA?
[ BTW, I don't like the translation of ARETH by the NAB as "power" -- I 
much prefer the NRSV "goodness" . The Vulgate has "   gloria et virtute "

Zerwick & Grosvenor consider it  "prob. refers to DOCHi KAI ARETHi "   but 
allows that  PANTA is "also possible". They certainly don't take into 
consideration a _singular_ noun.
