I have a beginner's question on syntax: Copied the pertinent verses:
2Co 12:07b DIO hINA MH UPERAIRWMAI EDOQH MOI SKOLOY TH SARKI,
AGGELOS SATANA, hINA ME KOLAFIZHi hINA MH UPERAIRWMAI
2Co 12:08 UPER TOUTOU TRIS TON KURION PAREKALESA hINA APOSTHi AP' EMOU
In verse 7b 'AGGELOS SATANA' (nominative) seems to me to be the
subject of the verb KOLAFIZHi. [And, by the way, I learned that it
should be also the subject of the verb APOSTHi in the next verse,
rather than MOI SKOLOY]
The question is its postion coming after MOI SKOLOY TH SARKI.
Superficially, I thought this makes two phrases appositive, but in
reality, I like to keep a comma after SARKI but remove it after
SATANA. Also, if possible, I like to move the phrase AGGELOS SATANA
after hHINA. After rewriting, the verse 07b then looks like this:
DIO hINA MH UPERAIRWMAI, EDOQH MOI SKOLOY TH SARKI,
hINA AGGELOS SATANA ME KOLAFIZHi hINA MH UPERAIRWMAI.
I would appreciate if you can give me correction on this line of my thinking.
