The Faith upon the Earth

Will you have “The Faith” when the Son of Man returns to the earth? The faith is a pattern of established teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ. Nothing added; as is so much in our modern world.

Most translations of the New Testament simply translate this verse, with out the definite article and only show “faith”. It should accurately translated “the faith”.
