My impression is that adverbial KAI always relates to the item that follows it
- but my exposure to Koine Greek is limited so I may be wrong. However, I've
just consulted K. Titrud's useful essay, "The Function of KAI in the New
Testament and an Application to 2 Peter" in D. A. Black ed., Linguistics and
New Testament Interpretation (Nashville: Broadman, 1992) and he agrees.
Hope this helps and sorry if this has been dealt with already. I'm a little
behind with reading the recent digests.
