We have seen that "the faith" describes the whole body of doctrine which comprised the Gospel. Paul is quoting from Deut.30:11-14: "This commandment which I command thee this day,,,it is not in Heaven...neither is it beyond the sea ('the deep')...but the word is very nigh unto thee".
Tumeona ya kwamba "Imani" inatoa maelezo ya muundo mzima wa mafundisho yaliyo na Injili. Paulo ananukuu toka Kum. 30:11-14: "Maagizo haya nikuagizayo leo, …. si mbinguni wala si ng’mbo ya pili ya bahari (kilindini)…. lakini neno li karibu nawe sana".
