1 | Justified by faith or His faithfullness? | Gal 2:16 | Morant61 | 174686 | ||
Greetings Mark! Excellent work! I might add one point to your post though. There is also a usage of the Genitive case which is called the Objective Genitive. In this usage, the noun in the Genitive case is the object of the verbal ideal. For instance, Mft. 12:31 says, "...but the of the Spirit blasphemy shall not be forgiven". It is not the Spirit who is doing the blasphemy, but it is the Spirit who is receiving the blasphemy. In the same way, 'the faith of Christ' is usually thought of as Christ receives the faith. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Thank you, Tim! That answers why so many Bibles translate it that way! Objective Genitive was not covered in what limited training in Greek I have had. This helps a lot! I just had a feeling there was more to this. This also helps with my personal study, as I currently in Matt. 12. Love in Christ, Mark |
