δικαιοσύνη δὲ, the phrase repeated with a qualification (not of law but by faith), introducing the distinctive condition, and so bringing into emphasis the fact that GOD’s righteousness is the true aim which man must set before himself for realisation in his own life, so far as he may.

διὰ πίστεως Ἰ. Χρ. Philippians 3:9; Galatians 2:16. Gen. obj. = faith in Jesus Christ as the manifestation of GOD’s righteousness; see n. on Romans 1:17. Both this and the next phrase (εἰς π. τ. π.) qualify δικαιοσύνη θεοῦ.

εἰς π. τ. π., Romans 1:16, shows that faith is not one condition but the only condition imposed on man.

οὐ γάρ ἐστιν διαστολή. Romans 10:12.
