Dear Carl,

>This has been discussed many times in the past in this forum; inasmuch as
>the text is cited directly from Hab 2:4, one has to wonder whether Paul is
>taking it directly from the LXX or is citing it from memory; in the LXX it
>reads hO DE DIKAIOS EK PISTEWS MOU ZHSETAI, " .... but the righteous man
>will live from MY faithfulness" (God speaking).

HH: But look at a verse like Mark 11:22, where the genitive after 
PISTIS works differently:

Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

HH: Isn't it possible that in Hab 2:4 LXX the idea is: "the one 
righteous by faith in Me will live"?

				Yours,
				Harold Holmyard
