'By Faith' in the Bible

His acts are characterized by faithfulness and justice; all his precepts are reliable.

and he made no distinction between them and us, cleansing their hearts by faith.

to open their eyes so that they turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a share among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'

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."

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.

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.

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 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

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)

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

I do not mean that we rule over your faith, but we are workers with you for your joy, because by faith you stand firm.

for we live by faith, not by sight.

And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the gospel to Abraham ahead of time, saying, "All the nations will be blessed in you."

Now it is clear no one is justified before God by the law, because the righteous one will live by faith.

in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles, so that we could receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.

Thus the law had become our guardian until Christ, so that we could be declared righteous by faith.

For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait expectantly for the hope of righteousness.

nor to occupy themselves with myths and interminable genealogies. Such things promote useless speculations rather than God's redemptive plan that operates by faith.

But my righteous one will live by faith, and if he shrinks back, I take no pleasure in him.

By faith we understand that the worlds were set in order at God's command, so that the visible has its origin in the invisible.

By faith Abel offered God a greater sacrifice than Cain, and through his faith he was commended as righteous, because God commended him for his offerings. And through his faith he still speaks, though he is dead.

By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death, and he was not to be found because God took him up. For before his removal he had been commended as having pleased God.

By faith Noah, when he was warned about things not yet seen, with reverent regard constructed an ark for the deliverance of his family. Through faith he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place he would later receive as an inheritance, and he went out without understanding where he was going.

By faith he lived as a foreigner in the promised land as though it were a foreign country, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who were fellow heirs of the same promise.

By faith also Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning the future.

By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, mentioned the exodus of the sons of Israel and gave instructions about his burial.

By faith, when Moses was born, his parents hid him for three months, because they saw the child was beautiful and they were not afraid of the king's edict.

By faith, when he grew up, Moses refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,

By faith he left Egypt without fearing the king's anger, for he persevered as though he could see the one who is invisible.

By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that the one who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them.

By faith they crossed the Red Sea as if on dry ground, but when the Egyptians tried it, they were swallowed up.

By faith the walls of Jericho fell after the people marched around them for seven days.

You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.
