a
Or, "as he is." I know not how better to represent two things apt to be overlooked; the absence of the article and the perfect tense of the participle. "Who," or "That" hath passed implies the article and is designative; "Passed" simply would answer to the aorist.
b
Or, "our." But is not "the" better than "our" confession?
