			:"When the copulative `and' connects two nouns of the same case, if the article precedes the first noun and is not repeated before the second noun, the latter always refers to the same person that is expressed or described by the first noun."<sup>[1]</sup>

	Notice that all but James 3:9 and 1 John 5:20 are part of "prepositional" constructions (Col. 3:17 is not in a Sharp's Construction in the best trinitarian texts and refers only to the Father who is God). 1 John 5:20 violates Wallace's own rule: it has a non-personal noun ("life")! "Life" is also abstract (see study on Wallace's "Qualitative" Rule for John 1:1).
