Gal 6:12 and Phil 4:14

What would Gal 6:12 and Phil 4:14 have in common? Well, these are the only verses in the Greek New Testament that contain a word with all Greek vowels and each vowel only once: εὐπροσωπῆσαι and συγκοινωνήσαντες respectively. Septuagint readers may take a look at Ex 27:17 and 2 Mac 4:39.
"Coding humanists" are invited to figure out how this result was found ...
