MAKARIOI hOI PLUNONTES TAS STOLAS AUTWN, hINA ESTAI hH EXOUSIA AUTWN EPI TO 
XULON THS ZWHS...
The first thing that struck me is that hINA is followed by a future verb 
form.  I understand now that is not that rare. Is there a difference in 
meaning if a subjunctive had have been used?
My main question though, is the singular verb.
I take the plural hOI PLUNONTES  to be the subject. Is hH EXOUSIA considered 
to cover  hOI PLUNONTES as a group, and therefore singular?  If that is the 
case, is the verb singular because the predicate is singular?
Thank you.
Bert de Haan.
