Faith and Faithfulness (Part 6)

This is the sixth in a series of studies on the topic of faith and faithfulness. (If you are coming to this page from a search engine, I recommend this link for a table of contents of the topics covered in this series.)

This study is a summary overview of the material we have covered so far in this series.  The Greek word pistis (πιστις – G4102) is frequently used in the Septuagint to translate the Hebrew word emunah (אמנה‎ – H530).  All of the instances where pistis is used in the Septuagint to translate emunah are highlighted in the list below in green.

Emunah is translated in the KJV with the following words (and counts): faithfulness 18, truth 13, faithfully 5, office 5, faithful 3, faith 1, stability 1, steady 1, truly 1, verily 1.

The format of the list is as follows:

• Text
  Hebrew – Hebrew transliteration |  Greek – Greek transliteration
  Link to details on the Text (NASB): English word used in the NASB to translate the Hebrew

The link will take you to a detailed view of the text in Blue Letter Bible; the Hebrew and Greek texts can also be seen there.

Here are most of the texts that use the word pistis in the Septuagint.  (A few Septuagint texts that use the word pistis do not have a corresponding text in the Hebrew Bible; I have omitted those texts.)  As you can see, most of the Septuagint texts containing the word pistis are translations of texts using  the Hebrew word emunah.  Most of these texts are translated into English using faithfullness, faithfully or truth.  In none of these texts is pistis or emunah used in the sense of belief.
