Shalom Webb,
Thank you for the email and question. The Greek you've quoted looks
normal to me. TO ARQRON "the" groups QUSIA and LEITOURGIA together, to
which group THS PISTEWS UMWN hangs, just as you explained. The
sacrifice and service would appear to be produced by the faith, though
I have not checked the context.
INcidently, Hebrew does not have an article-grouper like this.
