I'm having problems understanding this sentence, and I think my point of
confusion is the ETI...ETI KATA KAIRON formulation:

Roma 5:6 (GNT) ETI GAR CRISTOS ONTWN hHMWN ASQENWN ETI KATA KAIRON hUPER
ASEBWN APEQANEN.

Some manuscripts, incidentally, say EI GAR, which I can read and understand
- in this case ONTWN hHMWN ASQENWN ETI becomes one phrase. But I simply
don't know how to read the ETI...ETI in the version I quoted above.

Thanks!

Jonathan
