[B-Greek] same noun to noun relationships

I have another question concerning the APO - EIS - constructions.
In Latin we have the expression manus manum lavat: (one) hand is washing
(the other) hand. The repetition of "hand" requires that we think of one
hand and the other hand.
Can we use a similar explanation in Rom 1: 17 and 2 Cor 3: 18 ?
DIKAIOSUNH GAR QEOU EN AUTWi APOKALUPTETAI EK PISTEWS EIS PISTIN
EN AUTWi means EN TWi EUAGGELIWi (cf. verse 16). The word EUAGGELION has
normally the nuance of "*proclamation* of the Gospel". So in the
proclamation of the Gospel we are witnessing a revelation of the DIKAIOSUNE
of God. And that proclamation starts in the believe of one person (EK
PISTEWS) and has as purpose the believe of another person (EIS PISTIN).
HMEIS DE PANTES ANAKEKALUMMENWi PROSWPWi THN DOKSAN KUPIOU KATOPTRIZOMENOI
THN AUTHN EIKONA METAMORFOUMEQA APO DOXHS EIS DOXAN
Here too we could think of the METAMORFOSIS of a Christian that starts in
the DOXA of God (APO DOXHS) that radiates in order to bring the Christian to
his (the Christian's) own DOXA (EIS DOXAN).
Is my solution (im)possible or is it perhaps well known?
