Old Testament

Habakkuk 2:4
4Look, his soul is puffed up and is not righteous within him[]
—but the righteous one will live by his faith.[]

Footnotes

  • 2:4 The antecedent of his and him is uncertain, and there are other difficulties with the Hebrew. The phrase must refer to an ungodly man—in the immediate context, to the Babylonians.
  • 2:4 The word can also mean faithfulness, but in Romans 1:17 Paul uses the phrase in reference to faith.
