Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Of faith (ek pistewv). As the source.
According to grace (kata xarin). As the pattern.
To the end that (eiv to einai). Purpose again as in Romans 4:11.
Sure (bebaian). Stable, fast, firm. Old adjective from bainw, to walk.
Not to that only which is of the law (ou tw ek tou nomou monon). Another instance where monon (see verse Romans 4:12) seems in the wrong place. Normally the order would be, ou monon tw ek tou nomou, alla kai ktl.
