'By Faith' in the Bible

There it is that divine justification is revealed to be wholly by faith: as it is written, " the just shall live by faith."

that divine justification, which by faith in Jesus Christ is extended to all, that believe; for there is no distinction:

for we conclude, that a man is justified by faith, without observing the legal rites.

Besides, the promise that he should possess the world, was not made to Abraham, or to his posterity in consideration of the law, but with regard to the righteousness by faith.

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ,

who has given us access by faith to that degree of favour, we are in, by which we triumph in the hopes of divine glory.

What shall we hence conclude? that the Gentiles who sought not after justice, have obtained justice, even to that which is by faith:

why? because they sought it not by faith, but indeed by the works of the law: for they stumbled at that stumbling-stone;

but the justification which is by faith, speaks in this manner; "say not in thine heart, who shall ascend into heaven, in order to bring Christ down from above?

well, be it so, for their incredulity they were broken off, and you by faith stand firm: be not then elated, but let this be your fear,

not that I would arbitrarily prescribe what you should believe, but rather encourage you to go on: for 'tis by faith you have stood.

yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in him, and not by the works of the law, by which there is no justification.

I am crucified with Christ, it is not I that now live, but Christ that liveth in me; the life I have in this body I live by faith in the son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

but that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, is evident: for, " the just shall live by faith."

now the law does not justify by FAITH, but says, "he that DOES these things shall live by them."

so that the law was our school-master to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

for you are all the sons of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

but as for us, our minds are possessed with the hopes of justification by faith.

by whom we have freedom of access to God, with confidence, by faith in him.
