Headword: *kefa/laion
Adler number: kappa,1441
Translated headword: main point, gist
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
The apostle Paul says: "but [the] main point in what is being said [is ...]." The greatest [part] is always called kefa/laion.[1]
And elsewhere [it is written]: "and a big chapter was constructed from small fragments."[2]
A 'section' [ti/tlos] [sc. of a work of literature] differs from a 'chapter' [kefa/laion]. Matthew has 68 sections, [but] 355 chapters; Mark 48 sections, [but] 36 chapters; Luke 83 sections, [but] 348 chapters; John 18 sections, [but] 232 chapters.[3]
