| Summary: | It has long been a matter of dispute whether the formula πίστός ό λόγος introduces or follows the words to which it refers, and therefore which sayings are in fact 'faithful'. This article presents form-critical arguments to show that the formula always introduces its saying. In some cases this involves re-identifying the saying itself, and in particular it is argued that 1 Tim. 3.16 is a faithful saying that has been separated from its formula because of the way in which the letter has been composed. In origin the sayings are catechetical maxims formulated by Paul's successors to encapsulate his teaching. |
