Note 14 — LIVING BY FAITH
Reading edition
The phrase "from faith to faith" is quite unintelligible. We have given in the text the literal rendering of the Greek words εκ πιστεως εις πιστιν. They set forth the ground, or principle, on which righteousness is to be obtained. It is not on the ground of works, but of faith; and it is revealed to faith. Our apostle repeatedly contrasts εκ πιστεως with εξ εργων—the principle of faith, with the principle of works. Blessed contrast!
