[B-Greek] Genative or Dative?

Howdy Ya-All!  Greetings from the remote hinter-land of Twin Falls, I-dee-ho!

My pastor and I were chewing the fat tonight, and we found something
interesting between the King Jimmy and the "others".  In the KJV
"faith of..." is found in: Romans 3:22, Galatians 2:16, Galatians
2:20, Ephesians 3:12, Philippians 3:9, and Revelation 14:12.  In the
NIV, NAS, and NKJV, it appears to be translated to be a DATIVE ("faith
in...").  Looking it up in the TR (which BTW >is< the superior text
<grin>), we find the GENITIVE in each of these cases. For giggles, I
even looked in the Critical Text and found GENITIVES there as well.

Anyone out there know of this anomaly???

Thanks Ahead o' Time,
