Col 1:19,20 contains

EN AUTWi EUDOKHSEN PAN TO PLHRWMA KATOIKHSAI KAI DI'
AUTOU APOKATALLAZAI TA PANTA EIS AUTON

A commentary I am reading treats the first infinitive
clause PAN TO PLHRWMA KATOIKHSAI as TO PLHRWMA
functioning as the "subject of the infinitive" of
KATOIKHSAI. And the next infinitive clause,
APOKATALLAZAI TA PANTA, he has TA PANTA as the "object
of the infinitive." Why the switch? Both are
identified as accusatives, but one is "subject" and
one is "object."
