That footnote on the Net Bible could be extended to the
other use of PISTIS in Jude 20 -
EPOIKODOMOUNTES EAUTOUS THi AGIWTATHi UMWN PISTEI
- which reads very muc as if the PISTIS meant is that of
Jude17~18 which (as far as I know) is also the only example
of one NT epistle quoting another as its authority.
Given which it may be relevant that PISTIS is almost
2 Peter's first word.
