| Summary: | Although it is widely recognised that hoi pisteuontes was a self-designation of the early Christ groups, this is not reflected in scholarship on Romans and Galatians, where the participle is usually taken as a generic substantive. Such a rendering obscures the force of Paul's rhetoric, which presupposes the status of hoi pisteuontes as a shared self-designation and mobilises it in an effort to naturalise Paul's claims regarding the exclusive justificatory value of his addressees’ pistis. Accordingly, in Rom 3.22 and Gal 3.22, where hoi pisteuontes appears in close connection with pistis Iēsu Christu, it is unlikely that the latter phrase designates Christ's own faithfulness. |
