Divine justice is manifested by faith, which recognises it as declared by Christ and His apostles, unto faith, to its increase and perfection. St. Chrysostom understands the apostle as referring to the faith of the ancient patriarchs, which prepared for the Christian revelation : " He confirms his discourse by the ancient Testament: and in the first place by a short phrase he opens the immense ocean of sacred history to him who can see : for saying : ' from faith to faith,' he refers the hearer to all the dispensations of God in the Old Law, which, writing to the Hebrews, he details with great wisdom."
