Granville Sharp's Rule Of The Use Of The Greek Kai
"When The Copulative Kai Connects Two Nouns Of The Same Case (Viz. Nouns, Either Substantive Or Adjective Or Participle) Of Personal Description Respecting Office, Dignity, Affinity, Or Connection; And Attributes, Properties, Or Qualities; Good Or Ill; If The Article Ho Or Any Of It's Cases Precedes The First Of The Said Nouns Or Participles And Is Not Repeated Before The Second Noun Or Participle, The Latter Always Relates To The Same Person That Is Expressed Or Described By The First Noun Or Participle, I.E. Denotes A Further Description Of The First Person.."
