Can you help me to see the syntax of Col 1:22?
I'm quoting the verse (except the last phrase with is not relevant), putting
down the way I see it.
NUNI DE APOKATHLLAXEN
EN TWi SWMATI THS SARKOS
AUTO DIA TOU QANATOU,
PARASTHSAI hUMAS hAGIOS
νυνὶ δὲ ἀποκατήλλαξεν
ἐν τῷ σώματι τῆς σαρκὸς
αὐτοῦ διὰ τοῦ θανάτου,
παραστῆσαι ὑμᾶς ἁγίους
(1) Here I have disconnected AUTOU from the preceding word SARCOS. By making
it to go with third line I am trying to show that it can be seen to modify
QANATOU rather than SARKOS.
(2) I like to take the phrase on this line AUTOU DIA TOU QANATOU to be
connected to the verb APOKATHLLAXEN. Thus I can get rid of a rather strange
expression 'reconciling in the body'.
Am I doing much violence to the text, esp. with (1)?
Thank you for your help.
Oun Kwon.
