I was reading The Wisdom of the Hebrew Alphabet by Rabbi Michael Munk, and on page 152 he mentioned that the Torah was given MN)MN LN)MN, (Minne'eman L'ne'eman), which he interprets as meaning "from the Trustworthy [King] to the trustworthy [servant]." He cites the Midrash Rabbah as the source, so it does not seem unlikely that this Hebrew phrase could have informed Paul when he wrote EK PISTEWS EIS PISTIN, which looks like it might be a translation of that exact Hebrew phrase.

The meaning of EK PISTEWS EIS PISTIN was discussed at some length in 1996 & 1999. I reveiwed the posts but didn't notice any discussion linking to the Hebrew phrase from the Talmud. 

Any help would be appreciated.
