Following Runge's suggestion, I have interpreted various cleft con- structions linguistically as either left -dislocations, "where the new entity is dislocated to the beginning of the clause and then resumed in the main clause through the use of a pronominal trace" (2010, 289), or right-dislocations, which entail "referring to a participant in the midst of a clause using a pronoun or generic phrase and then adding more information about the same participant at the end of the clause" ( 317). I have identified nine relative clauses in Philippians that stand in left- dislocations: one in 3:7 ((inva ~v f!Ol KEpOTJ), one in 3:16 (de; 0 ecp8acra- flEV ), six in 4:8 ( oaa E0"1"LV UATJ8fJ, oaa O"EflVU, oaa OLKaLU, oaa ayva, oaa 7tpocr
