AMBAKOUM 2:4b: hO DE DIKAIOS EK PISTEWS MOU ZHSETAI
 
Both Brenton and NETS translate this as: "but the just shall live by my faith" (NETS notes 
"Or faithfulness").
 
Is it possible for MOU to not be a possessive genitive, but an objective genitive - i.e., "but 
the just [man/person] shall live by/because-of his faith in Me"?
