It would help to have the text (in the TR, of course, as there is no
participle in the critical text which ends with EN CRISTWi IHSOU) before
us: OUDEN ARA NUN KATAKRIMA TOIS EN CRISTWi IHSOU MH KATA SARKA
PERIPATOUSIN ALLA KATA PNEUMA
This participle is substantival: the TOIS preceding EN CRiSTWI IHSOU refers
to PERIPATOUSIN, which is, of course, understood with KATA PNEUMA as well:
"for those walking (= who walk) not on a 'fleshly' basis but upon a
spiritual basis."
