While syntax and grammar are valuable in theological
interpretations, questions of this sort are usually
not definitively decided by such. There are many Greek
scholars who are Universalists and many who are not.
Same could be said for Calvinists and Armenians.
Presuppositions and hermeneutics factor more into
these issues.
At the lexical level though, PAS consistently refers
to an 'all, each, every' idea. The limiting of lexical
meaning in these debates is typically performed
because of the reasons I mentioned above.

Michael,
I've heard both universalists, and non universalists
appeal to the word order of 1 Cor. 15:22 to support
their interpretation.
Is there anything in the bare grammar that demands the
second "all" l be either restricted, or unrestricted?
