Description
Summary:The sin tactical linkage of μετάχαρᾶς in Colossians 1: 11: A structural motivation. The study deals with the question whether μετάχαρᾶς in Colossians 1:11 is linked to what precedes or follows it. In trying to answer the question the motivations given for either choice are scrutinised while the use of the expression in the Septuagint and the rest of the New Testament is researched. On the basis of these considerations it is found that no conclusive case could be made for either choice. The focus of the study is then to show that a structural analysis of the prayer section might render a linkage to the preceding to be the more probable choice.
