Continuous use of one expression can become predictable. A fitting change introduces a new angle, renews the listener’s attention, and may intensify the force of the utterance.
Yet novelty does not justify arbitrary switching. Alongside this general benefit, the book discusses functions specific to particular verses. Renewed attention and the particular argumentative or devotional purpose should be distinguished.
