Dear list-members,
The apostle Paul presents an interesting chiastic arrangement in Col. 1:16.
It could be presented as follows:
hOTI EN AUTWi EKTISQH TA PANTA EN TOIS OURANOIS
KAI EPI THS GHS
TA hORATA
KAI TA AORATA.
Does the chiasm end here, or does it continue with the words: EITE QRONOI
EITE KURIOTHTES EITE ARXAI EITE EXOUSIAI? If it does not continue, which
seems likely, is it impossible to take hORATA and AORATA with the latter part
of 1:16?
Thanks,
Edgar Foster
