Heb. x, 39), tcr/iuj' Triartiog (we are of them that helieve), are used of faith proper (compare Rom. xiv, 22, 23). The phrases Ik TriaTswQ f Kcnioi')', ctKniovcrSrai, make faith the necessary con- dition of justification (Rom. iii, 30; comp. Gal. iii, 14; Rom. V, 1; Gal. ii, 16; iii, 8 ; Rom. iv, 13; tK Triarsiog, ix, 30; x, 6; Phil, iii, 9; comp. Rom. i, 17; iv, 5, 9).

That even in James, confidence, trust (and not mere recof/nition), is the essential element of faith, is mani- fest from the passage (v, 15), // ei'x>) t^IQ tvigthoc (toj- (T£i -01' Ka/.tvoura (the prayer of faith shall save the sick). The works of faith are, according to James, sucli as show forth faith, and without which faith sinlvs into a mere recognition (Jas. ii, 19), as dead faith (I't-
Kfiu).
It must be noted that the word iriariQ occurs in John's epistles only in one place, 1 John v, 4, and in his Apocalvpse in four places (ii, 13, 19 ; xiii, 10 ; xiv, 12).
There remain a few passages in which tt/otic appar- ently does not denote " trust" in salvation by Christ, as Rom. xii, 3 (comp. Alford, in loc, and also Acts xvii, 31). 1 Cor. xiii, 2 is easily explained bj' com- parison with Matt, xxi, 21 ; Luke xvii, 5, 6, and here will be best joined 1 Cor. xii, 9. In the signification faithfulness, ttiotic, like the O. T. n3^"2X, is spoken of God, Rom. iii, 3; of men. Matt, xxiii, 23; Tit. ii, 10. With tlie former passage compare Isa. v, 1 sq.

AVith the dative of the person and tlie ace. of the thing, — . rivi ti = to intrust (confide) sometliing to a person, Luke xvi, 11; John ii, 24; in the passive, TTirrrf tio/ioi ri, I am trusted with a tiling ; without obj. : I am trusted, Rom. iii, 2 ; 1 Cor. ix, 17 ; Gal. ii, 7 ; 1 Thess. ii, 4 ; 2 Thess. i, 10 ; 1 Tim. i, 11 ; Jit. i, 3. h. Verv frequently TrKTriviti' ni'i denotes to trust a person, to give credence to, to'nccept xtiitethcilts (to be convinced of their truth) ; Soph. £1. 886, n^ Xoyoj. In
a broader sense, irKyrtviiv tivl ti, to helieve a person; e. g. Eur. Ilec. 710, \6yoiQ iftolai TrtaTtvaov raCt ; Xen. Apol. 15.

Anahjt. pr. 2, 23; also TnaTtviiv Ttipl, inrip ni'oc, Plut. Li/c. 19, where TTiaTtvHv stands alone, to be inclined to believe, recognise a tiling; while e. g. in John ix, 18, the specific aim is added: "But the Jews did not believe concerning hiui tliat he had been blind, and received his sight."
In the N. T. (in which TTKyrtvtiv has regard to our conduct towards God and his revelation) all these con- structions are found, as well as the combinations (un- usual in the profane Greek) of tt. iiQ, tiri tivu, i~i Tivi, and also TTiartvuv standing alone. The question is whether the original signification is confidewje, or ac- cepting as true,
