This study is intended to reconsider the existing argument for the genitive interpretation of πίστεως τοῦ Χριστοῦ in order to analyze the difference and similarity between the faith of Abraham and that of Christ. Traditionally πίστεως τοῦ Χριστοῦ is interpreted as involving active participation of human beings for the righteousness of God. On the other hand, some scholars suggested that subjective interpretation of the faith of Christ. It excludes works of the law from the righteousness of God. But a subjective interpretation can not clarify the Christological difference between the faith of Abraham and that of Christ. It emphasizes the faith of Christ who died for redemption of human beings on the cross. However, Paul rhetorically uses an appositive structure and thus 'the faith' refers to Christ. By such a rhetorical conceptualization which emphasizes the equality between Christ and the faith, Paul describes Christ’s superiority to Abraham.
