Hints
The introductory words of epistles are unique in the sense that they typically do not contain main verbs. For that reason, we are going to need to put aside the normal rules for dividing up a passage. Instead of looking for verbal ideas, divide this passage based on the different elements you find such as senders, recipients, and blessing, along with the details unpacking those elements.
This bracket contains logical relationships that we have not yet covered. Do your best, looking to include a Locative or two, along with an Action-Purpose.
When you are finished, continue to the next step and submit the lesson. After you do so, the instructor's work will be available for you to review while you wait for your coach to give you feedback (typically within 3-5 days).
