The NKJV (and the rest BTW)changes “faith of” to “faith in”:
Gal. 2:16 - know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ.
Rom. 3:22 - This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference,
The NKJV messes with justification for now the verse teaches it is man’s faith that justifies – can’t happen - man’s faith cannot justify  – has no power to justify – only God can justify Rom 8:33. 
The above alone is enough for me to flush it down to the septic tank thus polluting an otherwise good septic tank. Origen did not believe in faith alone so his works reflect this.
My two cents worth…

Just one of those "words" that many disregard.
Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Of course, if you do not believe God has preserved every word in the King James Bible...what's the use in teaching it as authoritative instruction?
