<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>Dear list-members,
<BR>
<BR>The apostle Paul presents an interesting chiastic arrangement in Col. 1:16.
<BR>It could be presented as follows:
<BR>
<BR>hOTI EN AUTWi EKTISQH TA PANTA EN TOIS OURANOIS
<BR>
<BR>KAI EPI THS GHS
<BR>
<BR>TA hORATA
<BR>
<BR>KAI TA AORATA.
<BR>
<BR>Does the chiasm end here, or does it continue with the words: EITE QRONOI
<BR>EITE KURIOTHTES EITE ARXAI EITE EXOUSIAI? If it does not continue, which
<BR>seems likely, is it impossible to take hORATA and AORATA with the latter part
<BR>of 1:16?
<BR>
<BR>Thanks,
<BR>Edgar Foster
