<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>In discussing the use of the Greek infinitive,
Daniel Wallace (GGBB, 606) says, &quot;Like any other substantive, the
substantival infinitive may stand in apposition to a noun, pronoun, or
substantival adjective (or some other substantive).&quot; After further
explanation he includes in his list of examples Titus 2:2, in which he says the
infinitive is in apposition &quot;to an implied pronoun&quot; (p.
607).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Titus 2:1-2 reads: [1] SU DE LALEI hA PREPEI THi

SEMNOUS, SWFRONAS, hUGIAINONTAS THi PISTEI, THi AGAPH, THi

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The verse seems to make perfect sense without my needing to
supply any pronoun. Can anyone tell me what pronoun Dr Wallace regards as
implicit here, and why?</FONT></DIV>
