Question: What are the semantic options for OUC hWS EGW QELW ALL’ hWS SU ?

Is there of necessity an expression of contrary wills or desires here?

Are there at least two opposing senses that can be support?

1.
“not as I desire (myself), but (rather) as you (desire).” This expressing 
contrary desires.

2.

unity.

Respectfully,
