Dear B-Greeker's,

I'm curious about the construction of XAIRETE KAI AGALLIASQE in Matthew
5:12.  To my American English ear this sounds funny in translated
as....rejoice and be exceedingly glad...

Is it necessary to translate KAI here as and? Is this akin to
parallelism? What are the best choices for translating this phrase?

Thanks for the input.
