To Pergamum.OIDA POU KATOIKEIS, hOPOU hO QRONOS TOU SATANA, KAI KRATEIS

PISTIN MOU KAI EN TAIS HMERAIS ANTIPAS hO MARTUS MOU hO PISTOS MOU, OS
APEKTANQH PAR hUMIN, OPOU hO SATANAS KATOIKEI.

 

I have a provisional translation as:

And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write:

This is what the one who has the sharp, double-edge sword is saying,

 "I know where you are living, where Satan's throne is.

And you are clinging to my name and haven't denied faith in me

Even in the days of Antipas, my faithul witness, who was killed in your
presence, where Satan is living."

 

The phrase 'hO PISTOS MOU' bothers me.  My propensity was to handle it
as as a dative form, but I

noticed the NAU translates it as as 'My Faith'.  Is this correctly seen
as an objective genitive?  If so, then

what is the rationale for the NAU translators handling it as they do?
