Getting back to my original question:
Col 1...
12
EUCARISTOUNTES TWi PATRI TWi hIKANWSANTI hUMAS EIS THN
MERIDA TOU KLHROU TWN hAGIWN EN TWi FWTI
13
hOS ERRUSATO hHMAS EK THS EXOUSIAS TOU SKOTOUS KAI
METESTHSEN EIS THN BASILEIAN TOU hUIOU THS AGAPHS
AUTOU
An adverbial participle/clause can create a causal
relationship between these two verse, "because he
rescued us..." Can a relative clause (as we have here
with hOS) be the semantic equivalent of an adverbial
clause? In my thinking, a relative pronoun creates a
clause that functions as an adjective.
(There is a part of me that thinks this question is
somehow related to the other thread about Adjectival
or Adverbial participles based on case.)
