1 Tim 2:1-4 - antecedent of τοῦτο in τοῦτο καλὸν
What do you think the antecedent of τοῦτο is in the phrase τοῦτο καλὸν?
ἐξίσταντο δὲ πάντες καὶ διηποροῦντο, ἄλλος πρὸς ἄλλον λέγοντες, τί θέλει τοῦτο εἶναι;

I would take it as the entire preceding clause.

The clause starting with ἵνα? The other possibility I saw was πάντων ποιεῖσθαι δεήσεις κτλ.
