Exegesis
The verse begins with the relative pronoun hosa {ὅσα | hó-sa} 'whatever things,' which serves as the subject in neuter plural governing the singular verb proegraphē {προεγράφη | pro-e-grá-phē} 'was written beforehand,' highlighting the collective scope of earlier writings.
In context — Romans 15:4
For whatever was written earlier was written for our instruction , so that through perseverance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures, we may have hope.
