Thank you Steven,
<br> Now that you mention it, I am much more familiar
with the use of the hendiadys in Hebrew, as a figure of speech used with<i>
two substantives.</i><i></i>
<p>Thanks again,

<p>All the examples of hendiadys in BDF and Smyth are those of substantives
<br>connected by KAI, are there (other) examples of hendiadys with Greek
verbs?
<br>I also noticed that of the six examples of hendiadys quoted in BDF
<br>(442.16), the NRSV only accepted one of them as a hendiadys (at Acts
23:6).
<br>And C. K. Barrett, in his commentary on Acts, comments on Acts 23:6
saying:
<br>"The line of argument is not greatly altered if 'hope' and 'resurrection'
<br>are distinguished."
<p>Does an hendiadys merely mark a non-literal translation? Or is hendiadys
a
<br>real grammatical phenomenon of the Greek language? Or is it perhaps
a
<br>little of both?
