Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'πιστεύω[a] differs from φρονέω[c], κρίνω[d], λογίζομαι[c], ἡγέομαι[a], and ἔχω[c] to hold a view ({D:31.1}) because of the added component of trustworthiness. There is also a greater certainty in πιστεύω[a] than in οἶμαι, νομίζω, δοκὲω[a] and ὑπολαμβάνω[d] to suppose ({D:31.29}), and though for certain contexts there may be a somewhat less degree of certainty than in the case of γινώσκω[a] and οἶδα[a] to know ({D:28.1}), there is the component of confidence and trustworthiness which is a focal element in this subdomain. πιστεύω[a] in the sense of believing information differs from πιστεύω[b] and πίστις[b] to trust or rely on ({D:31.85}). There is also a contrast with πιστεύω[c] and πίστις[d] ({D:31.102}), which are essentially equivalent in meaning to becoming a Christian, since the belief and trust is specifically in salvation through Jesus Christ with the resulting new relationship to God.'}

    Comments: In a number of languages the equivalent of πιστεύω[a] is simply to think to be true or to regard as true, but in some languages an idiomatic expression is employed, for example, to think in the heart or to think in the liver or to hold in the heart.

    Glosses: ['to believe in', 'to have confidence in', 'to have faith in', 'to trust', 'faith', 'trust']
    Comments: In rendering πιστεύω[b] and πίστις[b] it would be wrong to select a term which would mean merely ‘reliance’ or ‘dependency’ or even ‘confidence,’ for there should also be a significant measure of ‘belief,’ since real trust, confidence, and reliance can only be placed in someone who is believed to have the qualities attributed to such a person.

    Comments: In some languages it may be possible to render this expression in {S:04500300200018} as ‘because God gave his message to them to take care of’ or ‘… to keep,’ but one should avoid the implication that the message was simply to be kept by the Jews for themselves.
