Then said Jesus unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mountain, Remove from hence, thither, and it will remove; and nothing will be impossible for you.

Then said Jesus unto him, This [is the point]: if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

For verily I say to you, That whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou lifted up, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall harbour no doubt in his heart, but believe that what he saith shall come to pass; whatsoever he may speak shall be done for him. Therefore I say unto you, That all things whatever ye ask in prayer, believe that ye shall receive them, and they shall be given you.

He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved; and he that believeth not shall be damned.

that every one who believeth on him may not perish, but have life eternal. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that every one who believeth in him should not perish, but have life eternal.

this person heard Paul speaking; who fixing his eyes on him, and discovering that he had faith to be healed,

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, thou, and thy house.

First then I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all, because your faith is proclaimed through the whole world.

But profane and antiquated fables reject, but exercise thyself unto godliness. For bodily exercise is of little advantage, but godliness is profitable for all things, having the promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come.

He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved; and he that believeth not shall be damned.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that every one who believeth in him should not perish, but have life eternal. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world by him might be saved. read more. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is already under condemnation, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God. Now this is the condemnation, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil. For every one whose practices are foul hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his actions may not be brought to conviction. But he who practices the truth, cometh to the light, that his actions may be evident, as being done for God. After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea; and there he abode with them, and baptised. Now John also was baptising at Enon, near to Salem, for there were many streams of water there: and they came, and were baptised. For as yet John was not cast into prison. Then a dispute arose between the disciples of John and the Jews with regard to purification. And they came to John, and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou gavest testimony, lo! this man baptiseth, and all men come to him. John answered and said, A man cannot assume any thing, except it be given him from heaven. Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Messiah, but that I am sent before him. It is the bridegroom, who possesses the bride: and the friend of the bridegroom, standing by and hearing him, rejoiceth exceedingly at the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled. He must grow great, but I diminutive. He that cometh from above is above all: he whose origin is from earth is of the earth, and speaketh of the earth: he who cometh from heaven is above all. And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; though no man receiveth his testimony. He that receiveth his testimony hath avouched that God is true. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God hath not given the Spirit by measure unto him. The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. He that believeth on the Son hath life eternal: and he that believeth not on the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth upon him.

Every individual which the Father giveth me will come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in nowise cast out.

And this is the will of him that sent me, That every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life eternal: and I will raise him up at the last day.

No man can come to me, except the Father who hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from his belly shall rivers flow of living water.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them everlasting life and they shall never perish to eternity, and no person shall pluck them out of my hand.

But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

And the word of God increased: and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was multiplied greatly; and a vast body of the priests were obedient to the faith.

To him bear all the prophets witness, that through his name every one who believeth in him, shall receive remission of sins.

Now when the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord: and they believed, even as many as were ordained to life eternal.

and made no difference betwixt either us or them, purifying their hearts by faith.

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, thou, and thy house.

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, thou, and thy house.

to open their eyes, to convert them from darkness to light, and from the dominion of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins, and an inheritance with those who are sanctified by faith which is in me.

through whom we have received grace and apostolic mission among all nations for his name, to bring them to the obedience of faith:

the righteousness of God indeed by faith in Jesus Christ unto all and upon all that believe: for there is no difference:

whom God hath proposed as the propitiatory sacrifice through faith in his blood, in demonstration of his justice for the remission of past sins, through the patience of God;

BEING justified therefore by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

We have been buried therefore with him by baptism into death: that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so also we should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted with him in the likeness of his death, so shall we be also of his resurrection: read more. knowing this, that our old man hath been crucified with him, that the body of sin might be abolished, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. For he that is dead is discharged from sin. But if we have been dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death over him hath no more dominion. For in that he died, for sin he died once: but in that he liveth, he liveth to God.

THERE is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

How then shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? but how shall they hear without a preacher? and how shall they preach unless they are sent? as it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, of those who preach the glad tidings of good things!" read more. But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, "Lord, who hath believed our report?" Faith then cometh by report, but the report by the word of God.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are folly to him: and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

only they had heard, that he who persecuted us in time past, now preaches the faith which he once laid waste.

knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of the law; because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but faith exerting its energy by love.

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation by the knowledge of him; the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he hath called you, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance for the saints,

but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, who is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body nicely joined together, and firmly connected by every joint of exact proportion, according to the energy exerted in the measure of every several part, causeth the increase of the body unto the edification of itself in love.

Only conduct yourselves worthily as becometh the gospel of Christ; that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul wrestling together in the faith of the gospel;

and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is by the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

that I may make it evident, as I ought to speak.

Let your discourse be always gracious, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to reply to every man.

But foolish disquisitions, and genealogies, and disputes, and contentions about the law avoid; for they are unprofitable and vain.

Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you concerning the common salvation, I held it necessary to write unto you, exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered unto the saints.

Jesus saith to him, Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, hast thou believed: blessed are they who though they have not seen me, yet have believed.

And the word of God increased: and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was multiplied greatly; and a vast body of the priests were obedient to the faith.

through whom we have received grace and apostolic mission among all nations for his name, to bring them to the obedience of faith:

the righteousness of God indeed by faith in Jesus Christ unto all and upon all that believe: for there is no difference:

For what doth the scripture say? Abraham truly believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness.

As David also describeth the blessedness of that man, to whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

BEING justified therefore by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

For as by the disobedience of one man the many were constituted sinners; so also by the obedience of one shall the many be constituted righteous.

Who shall put in an accusation against the elect of God? God? He is their justifier.

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

but is now made manifest, and by the prophetical scriptures, according to the commandment of the eternal God, notified to all the Gentiles to bring them to the obedience of faith:

Wherefore I advertise you, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God, call Jesus anathema: and no man can say, Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries, and all manner of science; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

namely, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing to them their offences: and hath committed to us the word of reconciliation.

For he hath made him, who knew no sin, to be a sin offering for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

as Abraham believed in God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness.

NOW faith is the realizing confidence of the things hoped for, and the demonstration of things unseen:

But without faith it is impossible to be acceptable; for he must believe, who cometh unto God, that he exists, and is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

What is the advantage, my brethren, if a man profess to have faith, but hath not works; can faith save him? Now if a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, read more. and should one of you say to them, Go in peace, be warm, be replenished with food: yet if ye give them not the necessaries for their body; what doth it avail? So also faith, if it hath not works, is dead itself. Perhaps a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith by thy works, and I will shew thee by my works my faith. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not our father Abraham justified by works, when he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar? Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith consummated. And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, "Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness;" and he was called "the friend of God." Observe therefore that by works a man is justified, and not by faith merely. But was not Rahab the harlot in like manner justified by works, when she entertained the messengers, and sent them away by a different road? For as the body without breath is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

SIMON Peter, the servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained with us the same precious faith by the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:

And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

If we receive the testimony of man, the testimony of God is stronger: for this is the testimony of God which he testified concerning his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself; he that believeth not God, hath made him a liar, because he hath not believed on the testimony which God testified of his Son. read more. And this is the testimony, that God hath given life eternal to us; and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son, hath this life; and he that hath not the Son of God, hath not this life. These things have I written to you who believe on the name of the Son of God, that ye may know that ye have life eternal, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Not every one who saith to me, Lord, Lord! shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Then Simon Peter answering said, Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God. And Jesus replying, said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona; for flesh and blood hath not revealed this to thee, but my Father, who is in heaven. read more. And I tell thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock will I build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Then he commanded his disciples, that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Messiah. From that time Jesus began to shew his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders, and of the chief-priests, and of the scribes, and be put to death, and the third day rise again. And Peter taking him aside, began to chide him, saying, Mercy on thee, Lord! this shall never be thy case. Then turning from him, he said unto Peter, Get thee behind me Satan! thou art an offence to me: for thou dost not relish the things of God, but those of men. Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever is desirous to preserve his life, shall lose it; but whosoever would lose his life for my sake, shall find it. For what would a man be advantaged, though he could gain the whole world, if he should suffer the loss of his soul? or what will a man give as the ransom for his soul? For the Son of man shall hereafter come in the glory of his Father, with his angels, and then shall he recompense every man according to his practice. Verily I say unto you, There are some of those standing here, who shall in no wise taste of death, until they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

Then the disciples of Jesus coming privately, said, Why could not we cast it out?

And whosoever shall cause one of these little ones, who believe in me, to stumble, it were better for him that a millstone was hung at his neck, and that he was sunk in the depth of the sea.

Even as the Son of man came not to be waited upon, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Wo unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithes of mint, and anise, and cummin, and have neglected the weightier precepts of the law, judgment, and mercy, and fidelity: these thing ought ye to have done, and not to leave the others undone.

for this is my blood, that [blood] of the new testament, which is shed for many, for the remission of sins.

and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God draweth nigh: repent, and believe the gospel.

And these signs shall follow those that believe: in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel; for he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people; and hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David: read more. as he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been from the beginning: even preservation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; to perform mercy towards our fathers, and to remember his own holy covenant: the oath which he sware to Abraham our father, to give us, that we, secure from fear, rescued from the hands of our enemies, should serve him, in righteousness and holiness before him, all the days of our life. And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Most High; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; to give the knowledge of salvation to his people, by the remission of their sins, through the bowels of mercy of our God; with which he hath visited us, as the dawn of the morning from on high, to illumine those who sat in darkness, and in the shadow of death, to direct our feet into the way of peace.

and at the very same moment coming up, she also in turn confessed the Lord, and spake of him to all who were expecting redemption in Jerusalem.

who appeared in glory, and mentioned his departure, which he was ready to accomplish at Jerusalem.

But I have a baptism to be baptised with; and how am I distressed in spirit till it is finished!

And the disciples said unto the Lord, increase our faith.

and said to them, That thus it is written, and thus must the Messiah suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day and that repentance and remission of sin should be preached in his name unto all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. read more. And ye are the witnesses of these things.

The next day John seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world,

This beginning of miracles Jesus wrought in Cana of Galilee, and displayed his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

This beginning of miracles Jesus wrought in Cana of Galilee, and displayed his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

Jesus answered and said to them, Pull down this temple, and in three days I will rear it up again. Then said the Jews, This temple has been forty-six years in building, and canst thou rear it up in three days? read more. Now he had spoken with reference to the temple of his own body. When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had spoken thus unto them; and they believed the scriptures, and the word which Jesus had spoken. Now while he was at Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many believed on his name, when they beheld the miracles which he did.

Now while he was at Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many believed on his name, when they beheld the miracles which he did.

Now while he was at Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many believed on his name, when they beheld the miracles which he did.

this man came to Jesus in the night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles which thou dost, unless God be with him.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, in like manner must the Son of man be lifted up:

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is already under condemnation, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God.

He that believeth on the Son hath life eternal: and he that believeth not on the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth upon him.

Now many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him, on the report of the woman, who said, That he told me all things I ever had done.

Then said Jesus unto him, Unless ye see miracles and wonders, ye will not believe.

When therefore the men saw the miracle which Jesus had done, they said, This is of a certainty that prophet which is to come into the world.

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye should believe on him whom he hath sent.

For he that cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world, is the bread of God.

Then said Jesus to them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst more.

But many of the multitude believed on him, and said, When the Messiah cometh, will he do greater miracles than those which this man doth?

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from his belly shall rivers flow of living water.

Then spake Jesus again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

As he spake these words, many believed on him.

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and finding him, said to him, Believest thou in the Son of God?

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

Then many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what Jesus had done, believed on him.

because on his account many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.

Then Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat falling on the earth undergo a deathlike change, it abideth single: but if it [thus] die, it beareth abundant produce. read more. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall preserve it to life eternal.

While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of the light. These things spake Jesus, and going away, concealed himself from them.

that the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, "Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?"

LET not your hearts be troubled: trust in God, and trust in me.

Jesus saith to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father: and from henceforth ye know him and have seen him.

Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: and at least believe me on account of the works themselves. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works which I do shall he do also; yea, and greater than these shall he do; because I go to the Father.

Yet I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I went not away, the Comforter would not come to you; but if I go, I will send him unto you.

And not for them do I make request only, but also for those who shall believe in me through their word;

Jesus saith to him, Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, hast thou believed: blessed are they who though they have not seen me, yet have believed.

but these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus the Nazarean, a man from God, pointed out to you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as yourselves also know:

Men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus the Nazarean, a man from God, pointed out to you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as yourselves also know: him, by the destined counsel and foreknowledge of God delivered up, ye have seized, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: read more. whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: forasmuch as it was not possible that he should be held thereby. For David speaketh concerning him, "I have seen the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand, that I might not be shaken: therefore is my heart full of joy, and my tongue hath exulted; and still shall my flesh also repose in hope, that thou wilt not leave my soul in the mansion of the dead, nor permit that Holy One of thine to see corruption. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt fill me with delight by thy countenance." Men and brethren, permit me to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he hath been both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us to this day. Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up the Messiah to sit upon his throne; he, foreseeing this, spake of the resurrection of the Messiah, that his soul should not be left in the mansion of the dead, and that his flesh should not see corruption. This very Jesus hath God raised up, of which we all are witnesses. He therefore being exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, hath poured out this, which ye now see and hear. For David is not ascended into the heavens: for he saith himself, "The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies a footstool for thy feet." Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him Lord and Messiah, even that very Jesus whom ye crucified.

Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him Lord and Messiah, even that very Jesus whom ye crucified. Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? read more. Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptised every one of you into the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Now all who believed were together, and had all things common;

But the things which God before announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that Messiah should suffer, he hath thus fulfilled.

be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarean, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him doth this man stand here sound in your presence. This is the stone which, though set at nought by you builders, is become the head of the corner. read more. And there is no salvation in any other person: for there is no other name under heaven given unto men, whereby we must be saved.

"Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I do a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though one declare it unto you."

because he hath fixed the day in which he will judge the whole world in righteousness by the man whom he hath appointed; affording evidence of this to all, by raising him from the dead.

Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you bishops, to feed as shepherds the church of God, which he purchased with his own blood.

For this cause therefore have I invited you hither, to see and to converse with you; for on account of the hope of Israel am I bound with this chain.

definitively marked out as the Son of God by miracle, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead:

For the righteousness of God by faith is therein revealed for belief; as it is written, "Now the just by faith shall live."

For what if some were unbelievers? shall their unbelief render the faithfulness of God ineffectual?

This blessedness then, [is it] for the circumcision, or for the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was imputed to Abraham for righteousness.

And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

who was delivered up for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

But God commendeth his own love towards us, that, though we were yet sinners, Christ died in our stead.

But if children, then heirs; heirs indeed of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be we suffer with him, that we may also together with him be glorified. For I reckon that the sufferings of the present moment are not worthy to be placed against the future glory that shall be revealed to us. read more. For the eager expectation of the creation is waiting for the revelation of the children of God. For the creation was made subject to vanity, not voluntarily, but by him who made it subject, in hope that the same creation shall be emancipated from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth together and travaileth in birth to this moment. And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan in ourselves, expecting the adoption, the redemption of our body.

as it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence: and every one that believeth in him shall not be confounded."

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

But what saith it? "The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart:" that is, the word of faith which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. read more. For with the heart faith is exercised unto righteousness; and with the mouth is confession made unto salvation.

But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah saith, "Lord, who hath believed our report?"

to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing [diseases] by the same Spirit;

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries, and all manner of science; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

But if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither is Christ risen: read more. and if Christ be not risen, vain indeed is our preaching, and vain also your faith. Yea, and we also are found false witnesses for God; because we have testified on the behalf of God, that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if indeed the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, neither is Christ risen: and if Christ be not risen, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then also they who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are more miserable than all other men. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first-fruit of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all are dead, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But every one in his own rank: Christ the first-fruit; afterwards those that are Christ's at his appearing. Then cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, and the Father; when he shall have destroyed every dominion and every authority and power. For he must reign, until he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy shall be destroyed, death. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, that all things are put under him, it is evident that there is an exception of him, who subjected all things to him. But when he shall have put all things under him, then also the Son himself shall be subjected to him who put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

Having then the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore I have spoken, we also believe, and therefore speak;

whilst we direct our aim not to the things which are seen, but to the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporary, but the things that are not seen are eternal.

(for we walk by faith, not by sight.)

as Abraham believed in God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness.

as Abraham believed in God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness. Know then that they who are of faith, these are the children of Abraham. read more. And the scripture foreseeing that by faith God would justify the Gentiles, preached the gospel before unto Abraham, saying, that "In thee shall all the nations be blessed."

But that by the law no man is justified before God is evident: because "The just by faith shall live."

But before the faith came, we were in ward under the law, shut up together for the faith that should be revealed.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity,

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation by the knowledge of him; the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he hath called you, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance for the saints, read more. and what the transcendent greatness of his power in us, who believe, according to the energy of his mighty strength which he displayed in Christ when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly regions, far above all principality, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come; and hath put all things under his feet, and hath appointed him head over all to the church, which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the first begotten from the dead, that he might be in all things pre-eminent. For it hath pleased the Father that in him all fulness should dwell; read more. and by him to reconcile all things to himself, making peace by the blood of his cross: by him, I say, whether they be things on earth, or things in the heavens. And you who in time past were all aliens, and enemies in mind by wicked works, hath he now reconciled, by the body of his flesh, through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and irreprehensible in his presence: if ye abide in faith grounded and firm, and never moved aside from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which hath been preached to the whole creation which is under heaven, of which I Paul am a minister. Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh the measure of afflictions for Christ which remains to be endured for his body, which is the church, of which I am a minister, according to the dispensation of God, which was given me for you to fulfil the ministry of the word of God??26 the mystery which was hid from ages and from generations, but is now unveiled to his saints;

Let your discourse be always gracious, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to reply to every man.

For if we believe that Jesus died, and rose again, so also those that have fallen asleep for Jesus shall God bring with him.

But we see Jesus for a little while made lower than angels, by the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour, that, by the grace of God, he might taste of death for every one.

For we are hearing the same gospel preached as they did; but the word heard did not profit them, not being incorporated by faith with those who heard it.

Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost those who come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

But Christ becoming the high-priest of future good things, through a better and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this creation; nor by the blood of goats and of calves, but by his own blood, he entered once for all into the holies, having obtained eternal redemption. read more. For if the blood of bulls, and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the defiled sanctifieth to corporal purification, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who, by the eternal Spirit, offered up himself in sacrifice without blemish to God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, that we may perform divine service to the living God?

Having therefore, brethren, entire liberty of entrance into the holies by the blood of Jesus??20 a way, which he hath consecrated for us, newly opened, and giving life, through the vail, that is, his flesh;

let us come to him with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and the body washed with pure water:

NOW faith is the realizing confidence of the things hoped for, and the demonstration of things unseen:

But without faith it is impossible to be acceptable; for he must believe, who cometh unto God, that he exists, and is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

By faith he forsook Egypt, not intimidated by the wrath of the king: for he boldly persisted, as seeing the invisible [Jehovah].

What is the advantage, my brethren, if a man profess to have faith, but hath not works; can faith save him? Now if a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, read more. and should one of you say to them, Go in peace, be warm, be replenished with food: yet if ye give them not the necessaries for their body; what doth it avail? So also faith, if it hath not works, is dead itself. Perhaps a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith by thy works, and I will shew thee by my works my faith. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not our father Abraham justified by works, when he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar? Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith consummated. And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, "Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness;" and he was called "the friend of God."

And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, "Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness;" and he was called "the friend of God." Observe therefore that by works a man is justified, and not by faith merely. read more. But was not Rahab the harlot in like manner justified by works, when she entertained the messengers, and sent them away by a different road? For as the body without breath is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

whom though ye have not seen, ye love; on whom, though ye have not as yet gazed, yet believing, ye exult with joy unutterable and glorious:

Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, "Behold, I lay in Sion a cornerstone, elect, precious, and the believer on him shall never be confounded." By you therefore who believe is he honoured: but respecting the disobedient, "the stone which the builders rejected, this very stone is become the head of the corner, read more. and a stone of stumbling, and rock of offence," to those who stumble at the word, disobedient; whereunto also they were appointed.

Because every one that is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith.

John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be with you, and peace from him, who is, and who was, and who is coming; and from the seven spirits which are before the throne of God, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, and first-born from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth: to him who loved us, and washed us from our sins by his blood,

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, and first-born from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth: to him who loved us, and washed us from our sins by his blood, and made us kings and priests to his God and Father; to him be glory and might for ever and ever. Amen.

And when I beheld him, I fell at his feet as dead: and he laid his right hand upon me, saying to me, Fear not; I am the first and the last,

He that believeth on the Son hath life eternal: and he that believeth not on the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth upon him.

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

(for we walk by faith, not by sight.)

For by grace ye are saved through faith, and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God:

What is the advantage, my brethren, if a man profess to have faith, but hath not works; can faith save him? Now if a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, read more. and should one of you say to them, Go in peace, be warm, be replenished with food: yet if ye give them not the necessaries for their body; what doth it avail? So also faith, if it hath not works, is dead itself. Perhaps a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith by thy works, and I will shew thee by my works my faith. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you concerning the common salvation, I held it necessary to write unto you, exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered unto the saints.

And Jesus hearing him, marvelled, and said to those who were following, Verily I say unto you, not even in Israel have I found so great faith.

Now after some days, Felix returning with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.

First then I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all, because your faith is proclaimed through the whole world.

For what if some were unbelievers? shall their unbelief render the faithfulness of God ineffectual?

Hast thou faith, exercise it before God within thyself. Blessed is the man who condemneth not himself in that which he alloweth. But he that maketh a difference between meats, if he eat is condemned, because he doth it not by faith: for every thing which is not of faith, is sin.

Only conduct yourselves worthily as becometh the gospel of Christ; that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul wrestling together in the faith of the gospel;

Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you concerning the common salvation, I held it necessary to write unto you, exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered unto the saints.
