Dear Bill:

My GNT reads THi (with iota subscript), the definite article as a relative
demonstrative pronoun, dative feminine singular, agreeing with *CARITI*
which precedes it. So I translate, "... by much more, the grace of God and
the gift which [is] by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ, have abounded
to the many". The dual subject of EPERISSEUSEN is "hH CARIS TOU QEOU KAI hH
DWREA EN CARITI_THi TOU hENOS ANQRWPOU IHSOU CRISTOU". That's quite a
mouthful!

OK Bill?
Ben
