The end of Romans 3:26 reads:

 

EIS TO EINAI AUTON DIKAION KAI DIKAIOUNTA TON EK PISTEWS IHSOU

 

I take the first part as being an articular infinitive with a preposition (in order that He (might) be just...). How is the participle DIKAIOUNTA being used? Is it being used as an "object" of EINAI like DIKAION is? Is it substantive even with out an article? Is the phrase TON EK PISTEWS IHSOU the "direct object" of DIKAIOUNTA? 

 

Should the phrase TON EK PISTEWS IHSOU be rendered, "the one having faith in [or of] Jesus", or is there another way of translating it? Any help with this confusing construction is appreciated!
