>Should the DIA clause in Col. 1:5 be taken with love
(nearest possible referent), faith and love (near
referent), or Paul's thanks in 1:3?  I tend to favor
the last because the leading verb to give thanks seems
to work if I remove all the words between. But what
say ye?

<doug>
should we assume that it is adjectival rather than
adverbial? why could it not modify ECETE? i think
that's what i favor personally. it makes the best
sense at my first look.
