Bible Verses

[DragonFox91]

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Romans 1
King James Version


This is a tricky verse. What 'revealed from faith to faith' actually means is unclear to me. I went thru different translations & versions to try to better understand, but I feel like many versions are trying too hard to interpret it. So let's stick w/ the King James Version: I think it means God's faithfulness to us & our faith to him, working hand in hand. The just therefore act faithfully, & live the way they do because of their faith that is revealed to them, just like it says

I went w/ the King James Version here to not try to hide the meaning.

My posts aren't meant to be a Bible Study, but when reading Romans 1, this verse stuck out w/ me & I wanted to post it, but then going thru the different translations / versions, it made me realize I wasn't really sure what Paul is communicating at first.
