I would be grateful for any help on the translation of the following:
Luke 11.28: MENOUN MAKARIOI hOI AKOUONTES TON LOGON TOU QEOU KAI FULASSONTES.
The standard translation is "Blessed *rather* are those who hear the word of 
God and keep it".  But I am wondering whether it might be legitimate to 
translate more along the lines of "Indeed -- and blessed moreover are those . . 
." or some such thing.  There seems to be some ground for doing this, e.g. Rom. 
10.18 where MENOUNGE might reasonably be translated "Indeed . . ." or Phil. 
3.8, also MENOUNGE, "Indeed I count everything as loss . . ."
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Mark
