Hi Blue,
This is my try:
I'm coping here:
1Tm 2:9
WSAUTWS [KAI] GUNAIKAS
EN KATASTOLH KOSMIW META AIDOUS KAI SWFROSUNHS
KOSMEIN hEAUTAS
MH EN PLEGMASIN KAI CRUSIW H MARGARITAIS H hIMATISMW POLUTELEI
Here what is put in contrast are two verbs ('PROSEUCESQAI' v.8 and
'KOSMEIN' v.9), which are grammatically comparable (except one is
middle and another is active).
Also 1Tm 2:8-9 and Lk 22:19-20 don't seem to be in a comparable
structure. Here we have two agents (Paul-men/women), where as in Lk
it's only one agent (Jesus).
Oun Kwon.
