You are free to interpret the verse both ways, as the Spirit leads.ġ John Calvin, The Epistles of Romans and Thessalonians, 1539, trans. I don't think Haldane is totally rejecting the temporal sense. 3:22, where he reverts to the subject, and announces that the righteousness of God, which is by, or through, faith of Jesus Christ, is unto all and upon all them that believe. This is entirely constant with what the Apostle says in ch. The expression is evidently elliptical and in order to understand it, it is necessary to observe that the literal rendering is not ‘from faith to faith,’ but ‘by faith to faith.’ The same words in the original are thus translated in the same verse: ‘The just shall live by faith.’ The meaning, then, is, the righteousness which is by faith, namely, which is received by faith, is revealed to faith, or in order to be believed. Some explain it as signifying from the faith of the Old Testament to the faith of the New some, from one degree of faith to another some, from the faith of the Jew to the faith of the Gentile and others, altogether of faith. He also presents a nice catalog of others' interpretations: Haldane is of a different opinion, that the meaning is neither temporal nor emphatic (primarily), but an elliptical statement, that is, missing some words which could've been repeated but weren't, which when inserted yield a clear meaning (highlighted below). 1Ĭharles Hodge interprets it more as an intensification of "by faith" (but notice his rather tentative " may mean"):Īs "death unto death" and "life unto life" are intensive, so "faith unto faith" may mean, entirely of faith. marks the daily progress of every believer.
The more our knowledge of true religion increases, we see the grace of God with greater clarity and more familiarity, as though He were coming nearer to us. But you're in good company with Calvin, who seems to indicate a clear temporal sense in the phrase "from faith unto faith": It does not store any personal data.Not sure what commentaries you looked at.
