ho de di-a-kri-NO-me-nos e-AN PHA-gêi ka-ta-KE-kri-tai HO-ti ouk ek PI-ste-os PAN de ho ouk ek PI-ste-os ha-mar-TI-a es-TIN
Exegesis
The second clause employs the nominal neuter pan de ho ouk ek pisteōs {πᾶν δὲ ὃ οὐκ ἐκ πίστεως | pân dè hó ouk ek pís-te-ōs} ‘whatever is not of faith’ in a universal maxim equated with hamartia estin {ἁμαρτία ἐστίν | ha-mar-tí-a es-tín} ‘is sin’, generalizing from the specific case to an ethical principle.
