I started to write an essay, but forgot why or what the subject was... Still, as often the case I start researching, but again, the exact topic of the essay blew away like a piece of paper in a strong wind. Perhaps it wasn't for my writing but a side dish for your table... Antways on this hunch:

English, "faith;" Greek,"' pistis."

...will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” - Luke 18:7-8, New International Version (NIV).

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. - 2 Peter 3:9, NIV.
