'Faith' in the Bible

Through him we have received grace and our apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles on behalf of his name.

First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.

that is, that we may be mutually comforted by one another's faith, both yours and mine.

For the righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel from faith to faith, just as it is written, "The righteous by faith will live."

God publicly displayed him at his death as the mercy seat accessible through faith. This was to demonstrate his righteousness, because God in his forbearance had passed over the sins previously committed.

Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded! By what principle? Of works? No, but by the principle of faith!

For we consider that a person is declared righteous by faith apart from the works of the law.

Since God is one, he will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.

Do we then nullify the law through faith? Absolutely not! Instead we uphold the law.

But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous, his faith is credited as righteousness.

Is this blessedness then for the circumcision or also for the uncircumcision? For we say, "faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness."

And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised, so that he would become the father of all those who believe but have never been circumcised, that they too could have righteousness credited to them.

And he is also the father of the circumcised, who are not only circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham possessed when he was still uncircumcised.

For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would inherit the world was not fulfilled through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.

For if they become heirs by the law, faith is empty and the promise is nullified.

For this reason it is by faith so that it may be by grace, with the result that the promise may be certain to all the descendants -- not only to those who are under the law, but also to those who have the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

Without being weak in faith, he considered his own body as dead (because he was about one hundred years old) and the deadness of Sarah's womb.

He did not waver in unbelief about the promise of God but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God.

Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

through whom we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of God's glory.

What shall we say then? -- that the Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness obtained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith,

Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but (as if it were possible) by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,

But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down)

But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith that we preach),

Consequently faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the preached word of Christ.

Granted! They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but fear!

For by the grace given to me I say to every one of you not to think more highly of yourself than you ought to think, but to think with sober discernment, as God has distributed to each of you a measure of faith.

And we have different gifts according to the grace given to us. If the gift is prophecy, that individual must use it in proportion to his faith.

Now receive the one who is weak in the faith, and do not have disputes over differing opinions.

The faith you have, keep to yourself before God. Blessed is the one who does not judge himself by what he approves.

But the man who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not do so from faith, and whatever is not from faith is sin.

but now is disclosed, and through the prophetic scriptures has been made known to all the nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith --
