Romans 3:23  I was working thru Romans 3:23-24 yesterday and
found something that I could not explain. En the end of verse
24, Paul uses the construction          --- dia tes apolutrowsis
tes en Christwi Iesou.  What is the use or function of the
second tes?  What does tes refer to?  How should this
construction be translated?  If I've parsed it correctly (gen.
sing. fem.), then it could refer to chariti or apolutrosis. How
is it (or is it?) connected to en Christwi?  | Christopher
