Iver,
What about a third option. EN PISTEI KAI ALHQEIAi functioning adverbially
and limiting the actions implied in KHRUX, LEGW and DIDASKALOS. Not
specifically saying that Paul as a person is reliable, he just said that
ALHQEIAN LEGW OU YEUDOMAI, but making the general claim tha his speaking,
teaching, preaching is defined by EN PISTEI KAI ALHQEIAi.
greetings,
Clay
