Dear Friends --
This seems to me to be a clear case of -- what can I call it in English? -- maybe an 'elliptic referent'?
It's not all that complicated or in need of elaborate explanations.
I read this line as saying:
EPEFANH GAR H XARIS TOU QEOU (H XARIS H) SWTHRIOS PASIN ANQRWPOIS.
Imagine the speaker pausing after QEOU, and maybe you can 'feel' it as I do.
Does that help?
Peace and blessings to all.
