**faith**
The reference is not to personal faith, but to belief in the whole body of revealed truth. (Cf) [Romans 1:5](../../../kjv/romans/1/5); [1 Corinthians 16:13](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/16/13); [2 Corinthians 13:5](../../../kjv/2-corinthians/13/5); [Colossians 1:23](../../../kjv/colossians/1/23); [Colossians 2:7](../../../kjv/colossians/2/7); [Titus 1:13](../../../kjv/titus/1/13); [Jude 1:3](../../../kjv/jude/1/3).
See "Apostasy," above, in marg. of [Luke 18:8](../../../kjv/luke/18/8).
*(See Scofield "*[Luke 18:8](../../../kjv/luke/18/8)*")* .
**Son of man** *(See Scofield "*[Luke 18:8](../../../kjv/luke/18/8)*")* .

**righteous**
*(See Scofield "**")* .

**merciful**
Gr.hilaskomai, used in the Septuagint and N.T. in connection with the mercy-seat [Exodus 25:17](../../../kjv/exodus/25/17); [Exodus 25:18](../../../kjv/exodus/25/18); [Exodus 25:21](../../../kjv/exodus/25/21); [Hebrews 9:5](../../../kjv/hebrews/9/5). As an instructed Jew, the publican is thinking, not of mere mercy, but of the blood-sprinkled mercy seat. *(See Scofield "*[Hebrews 9:5](../../../kjv/hebrews/9/5)*")* .
"Propitiation," *(See Scofield "*[Hebrews 9:5](../../../kjv/hebrews/9/5)*")* . His prayer might be paraphrased, "Be toward me as thou are when thou lookest upon the atoning blood." The Bible knows nothing of divine forgiveness apart from sacrifice. See Scofield "[Hebrews 9:5](../../../kjv/hebrews/9/5)".
