Re: Word order and emphasis in Acts 2:39

As I understand it, Runge categorizes elements that appear in a focus position as "frames of reference" or "emphasis" (Runge 2010:269). Emphasized elements, which Runge marks in bold, are a subset of elements in a focus position, and is emphatic in the colloquial English sense. ...

Re: Word order and emphasis in Acts 2:39

I don't have Runge's High Definition New Testament. How does he explain the meaning of his bolding?
