Exegesis
The phrase kata tas graphas {κατὰ τὰς γραφάς | ka-tá tàs gra-phás} indicates conformity to the authoritative Scriptures. In the formal reconstruction, both clauses are rendered with parallel “that” constructions to preserve creedal rhythm, while the dynamic rendering emphasizes narrative flow by allowing the second clause to stand more freely, retaining temporal and scriptural qualifiers.
