Question 5

Hendiadys

Answer 5

an arrangement of two or more expressions that essentially convey the same idea. Redundancy is present: “kingdom and glory” or “blessed hope and glorious appearing”, but two ideas in close succession are not always an indication of hendiadys.

a form of redundancy by which a previously expressed idea is repeated as a way of speaking, but not for emphasis. (Gr. palin - again) Jesus did this AGAIN as a second sign. AGAIN the voice occurred. I returned to Damascus AGAIN.
