My trouble is with the whole hOS GE relative clause. Is this whole

Yes hO QEOS appears to be the *only* antecedent of hOS GE. I think
the PWS . . . XARISETAI clause is paratacticly connected to the
preceeding clause. This is an example of the rabbinic form of
arguement light/heavy, where the lesser example becomes
the grounds (c.f., Perry Miles post) for the greater example.
Therefore, the PWS . . . XARISETAI clause is *semanticly*
related to the hOS GE clause but don't look to find a close
gramatical relationship, only parataxis.
