OK, I'm moving on to the next chapter! In Ephesians 2:1, hUMAS is accusative:
Eph 2:1 (GNT) KAI hUMAS ONTAS NEKROUS TOIS PARAPTWMASIN KAI TAIS hAMARTIAIS
hUMWN
What is the force of this accusative? Is it an accusative of respect?
Wallace claims that the accusative of respect "is rare enough in the NT that
this should be employed as a last resort--that is, only after other
categories are exhausted," but I don't see what else it could be.
Thanks!
Jonathan
