TOIS is the article in the masculine dative plural found in the lexicon as hO.
hAGIOIS is the adjective in the masculine dative plural. With the article
refers to "the saints."
OUSIN is the masculine dative participle from EIMI. With the article TOIS
means "to those who are . . ." If the words in brackets (EN EFESWi) are
original, then "to those who are in Ephesus." If not then "to those who
are also faithful."
