Exegesis
The verb eisin {εἰσίν | ei-sín} links the subject to the predicate, and the qualitative relative pronoun hoitines {οἵτινες | hoí-ti-nes} introduces a defining clause (katangellousin hūmin hodon sōtērias {καταγγέλλουσιν ὑμῖν ὁδὸν σωτηρίας | ka-tang-gél-lou-sin hū-mīn ho-dón sō-tē-rí-as}), which explains their ongoing proclamation of the metaphorical “way of salvation,” blending the imagery of a journey with the act of divine rescue.
