Exegesis
Following this, the nominative phrase hē pistis sou {ἡ πίστις σου | hē pí-stis sou} “your faith” functions as the subject of the perfect indicative sesōken se {σέσωκέν σε | sé-sō-kén se} “has saved you.” The perfect aspect emphasizes the completed action with ongoing effect. The lack of a conjunction between the command and the explanatory clause creates a tight linkage, portraying faith as the instrumental means of the man’s restorative salvation.
Root and etymology
peithōpeí-thō
