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.
