David, what do you mean by head noun is not in a prepositional clause?
Is ἐν τῃ σκοτιᾳ ἁμαρτιας considered as prepositional clause as there is a preposition before the noun τῃ σκοτιᾳ? If this is the case, shall we still need the article before ἁμαρτιας?

Re: δε and ἀλλα
He describes ἀλλὰ as a “global marker of contrast”, one that “introduces a correction of the expectation created by the first conjunct; an incorrect expectation is cancelled and a proper expectation is put in its place.”" If a writer uses ἀλλα he's pointing at the contrast. δε is more delicate...

Re: Placement of adverb
I cannot figure out why we should add an article before ἁμαρτιας as there is no article "the" before "sin" in he English sentence.Placement of οὐκετι is fine although you need to add an article before ἁμαρτιας (or delete the one before σκοτιᾳ).
