Dear bgreekers,

In Gal 3:8 we have:

PROIDOUSA hH GRAFH hOTI EK PISTEWS DIKAIOI TA EQNH hO QEOS,
PROEUANGGELISATO TWi ABRAHAM hOTI ENEULOGHQHSONTAI EN SOI
PANTA TA EQNH.

Can we take hH GRAFH to be the subject of the participial
clause PROIDOUSA hH GRAFH hOTI...?

Then it can be taken to be an instance of the nominative
absolute participial clause, though its subject is the same
as the subject of the main clause. Otherwise, why is the subject
of the main clause hH GRAFH placed so far away from the main clause?
