Faith
Iman is one of Islam’s six articles of belief - primarily creedal assent paired with practice (islam) and excellence (ihsan). Pauline faith is personal trust/reliance in Christ’s finished work, not primarily intellectual assent to a list of propositions. Context must reinforce the relational-trust sense over creedal-assent sense.
