Notes: [{'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'πιστή has also been treated in {D:11.17} as a name for a member of the Christian constituency. This is a good instance of complete overlapping in that the same term may be classified in two quite distinct ways, one based on group membership and the other based upon the type of belief which results in such membership. It would be possible, therefore, to indicate that in the case of πιστή[b] (= πιστός[e]) in {D:11.17} there is an added component of group identification, but one may also argue that such a feature of meaning is derived essentially from the context.'}, {'Caller': 2, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': ['04401600100040'], 'Content': 'πιστή may also be regarded as a derivative of πιστεύω[c] to be a believer ({D:31.102}), but NT usage in a passage such as {S:04401600100040} seems to focus more upon group adherence than upon the actual state of believing. See also {D:31.103} and footnote.'}]

    Comments: Since πιστός[b] is a type of passive derivative of πιστεύω[b], it may be necessary in a number of languages to render this passive relationship in an active form. For example, the phrase δοῦλε ἀγαθὲ καὶ πιστέ in {S:04002502100028} may be rendered as ‘good servant and one whom I can trust.’ In {S:05500201100002} the phrase πιστὸς ὁ λόγος may be rendered as ‘this is a saying we can have confidence in’ or ‘… that we can trust.’
