Title: The word "of" rather than "in"...
Post by: Texas Son on December 03, 2008, 06:59:39 PM
My knowledge of Greek is very brief -- though I am blessed to be able to make out a few words.

One of the intriguing word revelations I have had reading this board, and the tentmaker.com articles, was the difference between the simple words "of" and "in". Those little words mean a chasm of difference when used in the phrase "faith in Christ" as opposed to "faith of Christ". Would one of you Saints direct me to the Greek word, or phrase that cause a word to be "in" rather than "of"? Maybe there is a link that I have missed that someone can direct me to.


I am overwhelmed and overjoyed by the way Scripture opens up as y'all help me sharpen iron. Y'all are a blessings to be sure!

One translation uses of in Acts 24:24

(Lamsa NT) And after a few days, FeÆlix with his wife Dru-silÆla, who was a Jewess, sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith of Christ.
