Ask yourself what part of speech PNEUMASIN is as well as what its case and
number is. Then ask yourself what case and number FULAKHi is.
I think you'll have your answer after that, at least with respect to whether
TOIS EN FULAKHi PNEUMASIN can legitimately be rendered as to those in
spiritual prison."
We might also ask if the idea of a "spiritual prison" (whatever that might
mean) would have made any sense to the author of 1 Peter and/or his readers.
