EK -EX

Hello -

I have another question.  This comes from working through Galatians 3.  Paul 
uses the phrases  EX ERGWN NOMOU and EK PISTEWS  frequently, apparently as a 
contrast.  My understanding of the difference between EX and EK ( as well as 
EIS and EN) is progression (movement) and position.  Is this always so, or 
might they be use sometimes interchangably?  What impact does Paul's use of 
these two prepositions make in this section?  Are there other places where I 
may examine the uses of these as contrast or as complementary?

Thanks for your insights.
