 Dear Gordon,

 As I see it, TA is the neuter plural definite article identifying [DIA TOU
 SWMATOS PROS hH EPRAXEN] as the referent of KOMISHTAI. TO SWMA is the former
 mortal body of the one now standing before the Bema of Christ. He is to be
 judged (rewarded) according to the deeds which he did in his mortal lifetime,
 be they "fair" or "foul".
 
 The NIV gets it about right, I guess (the Nearly Infallible Version) 8-)
