Say What? Mark you might try some reading in "The Cantos" of Ezra Pound.
This email is not even close to being unintelligible. There are people
posting from other cultures on this list, no?
It seems that Chong-Hush Lo has a question about the various functions of EK
in the phrase EK PISTEWS in Romans. This question is not hard to understand
but it is hard to answer.

A short unenlightening narrative follows:
******
In spring quarter of '68 in a hot basement class room at SPU I listened to
Dr. Kline lecture on these passages from the Greek text Romans. Kline was
addressing his remarks to the one or two graduate students and leaving the
other thirty students clueless.
In the spring quarter of '76 I listened to Dr. Gary Statts give a brilliant
series of lectures on the same passages from the Greek text of Romans.
I have read and reread until my brain is numb the discussions of these
passages in Sandy&Headlam, Cranfield, J.Murray, HAW Meyer, C.Hodge,
H.Alford, L.Morris, . . .
I was clueless in '68 and I am still clueless. Paul's employment of the
phrase EK PISTEWS in these passages remains one of the great mysteries, like
the problem of evil.
Hope this doesn't discourage anyone from learning NT Greek.
greetings,
clay
