Romans 2:9-10

QLIYIS KAI STENOCWRIA EPI PASAN YUCHN ANQRWPOU TOU KATERGAZOMENOU TO KAKON, 
IOUDAIOU TE PRWTON KAI hELLHNOS* DOXA DE KAI TIMH KAI EIRHNH PANTI TWi 
ERGAZOMENWi TO AGAQON, IOUDAIWi TE PRWTON KAI hELLHNI

Does Paul possibly use KATERGAZOMENOU with KAKON and ERGAZOMENWi with 
AGAQON - rather than KAT. or ERG. in both clauses - for "poetic" effect? 
I.e., KAT. with KAKON because they both begin with "K", and ERG. with 
AGAQON because they both begin with vowels?

If so, are there other such examples that come to mind?
