Romans 1:17 — For therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith to faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall five by faith. First, the expression "a righteousness of God" should be read "the righteousness of God," as in KJV and RSV. One may only conjecture as to why the English Revised Version (1885)

Romans 1:5 — Through whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake. The use of "we" may be viewed either as the editorial plural applied to Paul, or as an inclusion with himself of all the other apostles, all of them having been shareholders in the apostolic commission

Galatians 3:2 — This only would I learn from you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by the hearing of faith? It will be noted that "Law" has been capitalized throughout this chapter to indicate the one and only law Paul referred to throughout, meaning the Law of Moses. The commentators are less than candid when they use terminology that confuses

Galatians 5:5 — For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness. Through the Spirit … The Holy Spirit is conferred upon all baptized believers, according to the promise of Acts 2:38, thus identifying those who "by faith" were waiting for the hope of righteousness. By

Ephesians 3:12 — In whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him. This verse mistranslates the last phrase which should follow the English Revised Version (1885) margin and read "through the faith of him," that is, through the faith of Christ, meaning the faith Christ himself possessed and demonstrated.

Titus 3:15 — All that are with me salute thee. Salute them that love us in faith. Grace be with you all. All that are with me… It is impossible to know who any of these might have been. That love us in faith… Here the preference of the ASV translators for "subjective trust/faith" wherever they could stick

James 2:15 — you ... These words tied in with "my beloved brethren" in James 2:14, make it impossible to suppose that James was addressing some external theory. No, the problem addressed was exactly the one that exists today, namely, Christians supposing that "faith only" saves them and that there is no need for works. "One cannot save himself, anyway; saving faith is all that matters, etc." So men say; but James shows how worthless faith is without works. This is so plainly the teaching of this place that

1 Peter 5:9 — whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world. Whom withstand … Satan is not to be yielded to; whatever he may do to the bodies of Christians, there is really nothing that he is able to do to them. Stedfast
