George and Carl seem to take IOUDAIOUS TE KAI hELLHNAS in opposite
directions.
George: not only Jews but ALSO GREEKS (1)
Carl : JEWS NO LESS than Greeks. (2)
In (1), the presupposition is that the proposition in question is
considered to hold with respect to Jews.
In (2), the presupposition is that the proposition in question is
considered to hold with respect to Greeks.
Denniston said that in X TE KAI Y, either the first or the second
element gets emphasis [depending on the context].
Does the above two renderings imply that both persons
take the context of Rom 3:9 differently?
