Ephesians 5:26 hINA AUTHN hAGIASHi KAQARISAS TWi LOUTRWi TOU hUDATOS  
EN hRHMATI,


TOU hUDATOS syntactically further defines TWi LOUTRWi which is a noun  
so it might be called adnominal by some people. Semantically it  
provides the instrument or material of TWi LOUTRWi.  The problem with  
this passage is not what to make of TOU hUDATOS but what to do with EN  
hRHMATI.
