Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
English “report” emboldened in Romans 10:16 “But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith Lord, who hath believed our report?” and both “hearing” emboldened in Romans 10:17 were all translated from Greek feminine noun 189 akoe which is the noun form of Greek verb 191 akouo which is the second component of Greek verb 5219 hupakouo which was translated into English “obeyed” emboldened in Romans 10:16 previously explained in prior post. Greek feminine noun 189 akoe has been translated into the disparate English words “hearing” “ears” “fame” “rumor” “report” “audience” and “preached”. Greek feminine noun 189 akoe was translated into English “ears” in 2Timothy 4:3 & 4 “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears” “And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables” which is the impetus of 4,351 world religions. Greek feminine noun 189 akoe was translated into English “preached” emboldened in Hebrews 4:2 “For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.”
English “faith” emboldened in Romans 10:17 and “faith” emboldened in Hebrews 4:2 and throughout the bible were translated from the Greek feminine noun 4102 pistis which is widely misunderstood. Human beings who follow God’s 2Timothy 2:15-21 instruction and study every Greek word in each verse containing Greek verb 4100 pisteuo Greek feminine noun 4102 pistis Greek adjective 4103 pistos and Greek verb 4104 pistoo will come to understand that all these Greek words are predicates of Greek primary verb 3982 peitho generically meaning to persuade. Greek verb 3982 peitho was translated into English “persuaded” in Matthew 27:20 “But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus”. The “chief priests” and church “elders” were the grammatical subjects who “persuaded” their grammatical objects “the multitude” to “destroy Jesus”. The bible makes it clear that grammatical subjects other than God persuade their grammatical objects to believe and have faith in things contrary to God’s spiritual truth which renders the belief and faith of the vast majority of human beings of little or no consequence to God. The faith of Jesus Christ in human beings to execute the will of God as defined in 1Timothy 2:3-4 is of great consequence to God as documented in Galatians 2:16 “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified”. English “is” “justified” “might be justified” and “be justified” emboldened in Galatians 2:16 were all translated from Greek verb 1344 dikaioo generically meaning to make right when the grammatical subject performs the action of Greek verb 1344 dikaioo. When the grammatical object receives the action of Greek verb 1344 dikaioo it generically means to be made right. When God performs the action of Greek verb 1344 dikaioo it specifically means to make right per God’s definition of right. When grammatical objects of God as their only grammatical subject receive the action of Greek verb 1344 dikaioo it specifically means to be made right per God’s definition of right. There is one God. The Library of Congress lists 4,351 world religions because there are 4,351 different religious definitions of right and I have found none of them to be consistent with 1Timothy 2:3-6. Greek verb 4100 pisteuo which was 239 times translated into various tenses of English “believe” was also translated into English “commit” in John 2:24 into “will commit to trust” in Luke 16:11 into “the gospel is committed unto me” in 1Corinthians 9:17 “was committed unto me” in Galatians 2:7 “was committed to” in 1Timothy 1:11 and “is committed unto” in Titus 1:3. God is the ultimate performer of the action of Greek verb 4100 pisteuo and human beings believe what God wants them to believe. Belief of and faith in God’s spiritual truth “is committed unto” “the election” God said “I have reserved to myself” “the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded” to preclude “the rest” from Matthew 12:32 “And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come” and preserve “the rest” “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour” “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” during the “thousand years” that shall occur between this earth age and the eternal age that follows. Faith and belief comes from God as documented fore and aft.
English “cometh by” emboldened in Romans 10:17 was translated from Greek primary preposition 1537 ek denoting origin. In this context God is the one and only origin.
The second English “by” emboldened in Romans 10:17 was translated from Greek primary preposition 1223 dia denoting the generic channel of an act. In this context God is the one and only specific channel of the act of Romans 10:17.
English “the word” emboldened in Romans 10:17 was translated from Greek neuter noun 4487 rhema which generically are the words from the thoughts and through the lips of their speaker. Because Greek masculine noun 2316 theos was correctly translated into English “of God” immediately following English “the word” Greek neuter noun 4487 rhema specifically means the words from the thoughts and through the lips of God almighty. God’s truth does not lie in any English bible. God’s truth does not lie in any modern language of any bible. God’s truth cannot be ascertained through Hebrew words that were written on animal skin parchments. God’s truth can not be ascertained through Greek words that were written on papyrus scrolls. God’s truth can only be ascertained by studying the original transliterated words of James Strong’s Concordance whereby God’s spirit can define every Greek and Hebrew word for God’s “seven thousand” “election”. Example: Greek neuter noun 4487 rhema was translated into English “word” emboldened in Matthew 4:4 “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God”. English “every” emboldened in Matthew 4:4 was translated from Greek adjective 3956 pas which generically describes and qualifies the entirety of the noun or pronoun that Greek adjective 3956 pas describes and qualifies. The noun that Greek adjective 3956 pas specifically describes and qualifies in Matthew 4:4 is Greek neuter noun 4487 rhema which was translated into English “word”. The pronoun that Greek adjective 3956 pas specifically describes and qualifies in John 3:15 is “him” which was translated from the original Greek pronoun 846 autos. The noun that Greek adjective 3956 pas specifically describes and qualifies in John 3:16 is “world” which was translated from the original Greek masculine noun 2889 kosmos. English “world” in the New Testament has been translated from Greek noun 165 aion being an earth age, Greek noun 1093 ge being earth, Greek noun 2889 kosmos being the earth and it’s inhabitants, Greek verb 3195 mello being God’s prophetic plan for the future if God is your grammatical subject. Greek verb 3195 mello was translated into “the world to come”. English “world” in the new testament was also translated from Greek noun 3625 oikoumene which encompasses the inhabitants of earthly kingdoms as found in Luke 2:1, Luke 4:5, Acts 11:28, Acts 17:6, Acts 19:27, Acts 24:5, Revelation 12:9 and Revelation 16:14. Greek noun 3625 oikoumene also encompasses the inhabitants of God’s kingdom, pursuant to God’s will and future process “That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him”. Greek noun 3625 oikoumene applies to God’s kingdom of heaven in Matthew 24:14, Acts 17:31, Romans 10:18, Hebrews 1:6, Hebrews 2:5 and Revelation 3:10.
