[B-Greek] 1 Peter 3:2 EN FOBWi

Hi, Jeff,

Actually I was looking for Article + Prep + 0 to 1 word + Noun + Adjective +
Noun, where the first Article and the Adjective and Last noun all agree in
Gender, Number, and Case.  That is the construction Peter uses and I was
hoping to find it sufficiently common elsewhere, that it would become
transparent to me.

I found c. 10 hits with that construction, but most of them (at least in
Josephus) were like 2 Macc 4:14 "the in the wrestling arena unlawful
proceedings," which is syntactically parallel to 1 Peter 3:2, but not
semantically.

Sorry I wasn't clearer.

Philip Brown
