Wayne,
I was interested to see on your list that you have Rom 1:17 (EK PISTEWS EIS 
PISTIN) as "from first to last."  I have recently seen this rendered "from 
the faithfulness [of God/Christ] to faith [of believers]" (or something like 
that ;-) which seemed to fit pretty well.  Do you have any other instances 
of this phrase to show that it was actually an idiom having the meaning you 
give it?
