Hello All,

I've been looking at this passage for the last couple of days.

REV 3:10  KAGW SE THRHSW EK THS WRAS TOU PEIRASMOU THS MELLOUSHS ERCESQAI
k.t.l.

What I am wondering is how to take the EK THS WRAS....from (as in Jn 17:15)
the hour, or out of the hour.  I am wrestling with this phrase for a term
paper.  I have read a bunch of commentaries, and a good portion of them
disagree (shocking,  I know) with each other.  What I want to know is if any
of you think there is any solid grammatical/syntactical reasons for
preferring one or the other (from or out of).  I would like to keep the
conversation focused on the grammar/syntax and not on the
theological/interpretive issues....although I would gladly accept offlist
replies of that nature.

Thanks for your input.

--Matt
