Page "Book of Habakkuk" Paragraph 26
from
Wikipedia
The second half of is quoted by some of the earliest Christian writers.
Although this passage is only three words in the original Hebrew, it is quoted three times in the New Testament.
Paul the Apostle quotes this verse twice in his epistles: in Romans 1: 17 and again in Galatians 3: 11.
In doing so, Paul extends Habakkuk's original concept of righteous living at the present time into a future life.
The same verse is quoted in Hebrews 10: 37-38, where Habakkuk's vision is tied to Christ and used to comfort the church during a period of persecution.
These three epistles are considered to be " the three great doctrinal books of the New Testament ," and Habakkuk's statement concerning faith forms the backbone of each book.
