>EIS TO DOKIMAZEIN UMAS TI TO QELHMA TOU QEOU
TO AGAQON KAI EUARESTON KAI TELEION
Regarding two phrases TO QELHMA TOU QEOU and TO AGAQON KAI EUARESTON
KAI TELEION:
Are they both related to TI? Are they appositive? Is it an example of
asyndeton?
Note: I am at a loss to see how some translations take this something
of adjectival ('perfect will of God).
Thanks for your help me learn.>>
Part of your question dissolves itself at a higher level. TO AGAQON... can
be called
an appositive to TO QELHMA, or it can be called an adjective phrase to TO
QELHMA. Either way it is the same thing. It further defines what kind of
QELHMA
Paul is talking about.
