Is Hayes' claim that it is the "faith" of Christ or the "faithfulness" of
Christ? PISTIS can also mean faithfulness and finding subjective genitives
with PISTIS + genitive can often have good exegetical support if we use the
meaning of "faithfulness" which I have heard was extant in Greek usage even
before the Koine period.
