Dear Waldo,

>I might back down from this if shown otherwise, but the sense I get 
>from the KAI...KAI is "both...and." So, the idea would be:
>
>"Believe on the Lord Jesus, BOTH you AND your household will be saved."
>

HH: Waldo I think the SU prevents it from being a KAI . . .KAI expression

>hOI DE EIPAN, PISTEUSON EPI TON KURION IHSOUN, KAI
>SWQHSHi SU KAI hO OIKOS SOU
>
>Could one also take hO OIKOS SOU, since it is
>grammatically singular as well, as the subject of PISTEUSON?

HH: I think the answer to Mitch's question is that the hO OIKOS SOU 
is not the subject of PISTEUSON, although your answer, Waldo, already 
seems to have indicated that. Yes, OIKOS is singular, but it is not 
second person but third person, while PISTEUSON is second person. So 
SWQHSHi gives the result of the jailor's believing.

"Believe (2ms ) . . . and you (sing.) will be saved, you and your house."

					Yours,
					Harold Holmyard
