Rm 3:25 begins with
ON PREQETO hO QEOS hILASTHRION ...
The word hILASTHRION seems like a noun (BDAG 'a means of
propitiation'). I got confusion when I read in a commentary that this
is an adjective (propitiatory as an adjective).
I don't think it affects my understanding of the meaning. Just from
purely grammatical viewpoint, how I can decide whether this is a noun
or an adjective?
Thank you,
Oun Kwon.
