I am curious about your view of this verse. It is of great interest to me
that the phrase <gk> hina mh huperairwmai</gk> both begins and ends this
phrase. Is it possible that the following structure is intended here:

a- ina mh uperairwmai
b- edoqh moi skoloy th sarki
c- aggelos satana
b'- ina me kolafizh
a'- ina mh uperairwmai

If this is indeed the structure- why is the 'satanic messenger' the middle
term and thus the center of focus?

Thanks much

Jim
