For my clarification: this is the "object clause" in question , διʼ ἀσθένειαν τῆς σαρκὸς εὐηγγελισάμην ὑμῖν τὸ πρότερον and this is a "noun phrase", τὸν πειρασμὸν ὑμῶν ἐν τῇ σαρκί μου Correct?
Yes, except that I think I would include the ὅτι in the object clause: ὅτι διʼ ἀσθένειαν τῆς σαρκὸς εὐηγγελισάμην ὑμῖν τὸ πρότερον
Nunn, for example, [short syntax, para 146] says that ὅτι 'introduces' the noun clause - it's just the object of οἴδατε - 'What do you know?' 'I know geology' OR 'I know that the sky is blue'. I suppose that's slightly ambiguous as to whether ὅτι should be considered a component of the clause itself.
And the problem is that καί normally must connect grammatical equivalents. Without the Lachmann full stop after μου, Martin, observing this lack of balance, says that καί "does not connect the two flesh statements but the verbs εὐηγγελισάμην in v. 13 and ἐξουθενήσατε in v. 14."
It looks like Martin must have ὅτι governing the whole of the rest of the sentence up to the end of verse 14. How would he translate it?
I guess Martin's reading would be, "You know... I evangelized... and [you know]... you did not despise [me]."
Isn't it perhaps (according to Martin) 'You know that I evangelised and [that] you did not despise ..'.
I somehow think you would need to repeat the ὅτι after καί, as I think we would have to repeat 'that', but I might be wrong.
I tend to read it as three main coordinate components connected by καί and ἀλλά :
οἴδατε
καὶ
οὐκ ἐξουθενήσατε οὐδὲ ἐξεπτύσατε
ἀλλά
ἐδέξασθε

P.S. what's the reference for Martin? - I am just getting Martin Luther's Galatians commentary, when I search for it.
