George:
Why do you go the extra and needless step of turning PISTIS in Habbakuk 2:4b (LXX) into
the verb PISTEUW?
One point I've tried to make about EK PISTEWS MOU in Habbakuk 2:4b in arguing for
allowing (not "proving") an objective genitive is that it's grammatically and morphologically
identical to the NT phrase EK PISTEWS IHSOU CRISTOU. One doesn't have to turn the
PISTEWS in EK PISTEWS IHSOU CRISTOU into the verb PISTEUW to see if it takes a
genitive or an accusative.
I still don't understand your reasoning or your argument.
