Fellow B-Greekers:

Rom 3.29: H)\ IOUDAIWN hO QEOS MONON; OUCI KAI EQNWN; NAI KAI EQNWN,

In the "old" BAGD the coordinating disjunctive conjunction H)/ (which BAGD
calls a "particle") in Rom 3.29 falls under 1.d.alpha, "to introduce and to
add rhetorical questions." My question has to do with whether H)/ in Rom
3.29 is simply a marker of a rhetorical question or if in addition it is "a
marker of an alternative" as described in Louw-Nida 89.139 (though it may be
an alternative only implied by what precedes).
