And Jesus said to them, On account of your unbelief. For I tell you truly, if you have a faith like a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Be removed thence to that place, and it shall be removed; and nothing shall be impossible to you.

And Jesus said to him, If you are able? all things are possible to him that believes.

I tell you truly, that whoever shall say to this mountain, be raised up and be cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he says will be done, whatever he says shall be done for him. Therefore I tell you, all things whatever which you ask in prayer, believe that you shall receive them, and you shall have them.

he that believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he that disbelieves shall be condemned.

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

This man heard Paul speaking, who, looking steadily at him and seeing that he had faith to be cured,

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved, and your house.

First, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in all the world.

but avoid profane and silly myths; exercise yourself in piety; for bodily exercise profits little; but piety is profitable in all things, having a promise of the present life and of the life to come.

he that believes and is baptized shall be saved, but he that disbelieves shall be condemned.

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that every one believing in him may not perish but have eternal life. For God sent not his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world through him might be saved. read more. He that believes in him is not judged; but he that believes not has been judged already; because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment; that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light, because their deeds are evil. For every one that does evil hates the light, and comes not to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved; but he that does good comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, for they are wrought in God. AFTER these things Jesus and his disciples came into the country of Judea; and there he staid with them, and baptized. And John also was baptizing at AEnon, near Salim, because there were many waters there; and they came and were baptized, for John was not yet cast into prison. Then there was a controversy of the disciples of John with a Jew concerning purification. And they came to John and said to him, Rabbi, he that was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you testified, behold, this [man] baptizes and all men come to him. John answered and said, A man can receive nothing unless it is given him from heaven. You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but am sent before him. He that has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice; this my joy, therefore, is fully attained. He must increase, but I must decrease. He that comes from above is above all; he that is of the earth is of the earth, and speaks of the earth. He that comes from heaven is above all; and what he has seen and heard this he testifies; and no one receives his testimony. He that receives his testimony has sealed that God is true. For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives not the Spirit by measure. The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. He that believes on the Son has eternal life; but he that disbelieves the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God continues on him.

Every thing which the Father gives to me shall come to me, and him that comes to me I will by no means cast out;

For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me shall draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

He that believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of him shall flow rivers of living water.

My sheep hear my voice and I know them, and they follow me, and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish nor shall any one pluck them out of my hand.

but if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I in the Father.

Yet a little while and the world beholds me no more; but you shall behold me; because I live, you shall live also.

And the word of God increased, and the number of the disciples was greatly multiplied at Jerusalem, and a great multitude of the priests obeyed the faith.

To him all the prophets bear witness, that every one who believes in him has forgiveness of sins through his name.

And the gentiles hearing this rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed;

and made no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by the faith.

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved, and your house.

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved, and your house.

to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among the sanctified by faith in me.

but God's righteousness is through the faith of Jesus Christ, in all and upon all that believe. For there is no difference;

whom God set forth [to be] a propitiator through faith in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing by of the errors committed previously in the forbearance of God,

Having been justified therefore by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

We have been buried therefore with him through baptism in death, that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall much more be of his resurrection; read more. knowing this that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we should no longer serve sin; for he that died was justified from sin. And if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him; knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dies no more; death has no longer a lordship over him. For [the death] which he died, he died to sin once; but [the life] which he lives, he lives to God.

THERE is no condemnation therefore to those in Christ Jesus;

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without one preaching? and how shall they preach unless they have been sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those that publish good news of peace, that publish good news of good things. read more. But all did not obey the gospel; for Isaiah says, Lord, who believed our report? Faith therefore comes by the report, and the report by the word of God.

But the natural man receives not the [things] of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot know them, for they are spiritually discerned.

only they heard that he who persecuted us formerly, now preached the faith which he formerly destroyed;

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

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails any thing nor uncircumcision, but faith which works by love.

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him; the eyes of your minds being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his call, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

but speaking the truth with love we may grow to him in all things, who is the head, Christ; by whom all the body being joined together and compacted by the supply of every joint, according to the proportionate operation of every part, makes increase of the body to the edification of itself in love.

Only conduct yourselves as citizens worthily of the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand firm in one spirit, striving together with one mind for the faith of the gospel,

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

that I may declare it plainly, as I ought to speak.

Let your words always be with kindness, seasoned with salt, that you may know how to answer every one.

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

Beloved, giving all diligence to write to you concerning the common salvation, I was under a necessity to write and exhort you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.

Jesus said to him, Because you have seen me you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and believed.

And the word of God increased, and the number of the disciples was greatly multiplied at Jerusalem, and a great multitude of the priests obeyed the faith.

but God's righteousness is through the faith of Jesus Christ, in all and upon all that believe. For there is no difference;

For what says the Scripture? And Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

As David describes the blessedness of the man to whom the Lord accounts righteousness without works,

Having been justified therefore by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

for as through the disobedience of the one man the many were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience of the one shall the many be constituted righteous.

Who will bring a charge against God's elect? It is God that justifies;

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

but made manifest now by the scriptures of the prophets, by the command of the eternal God, for the obedience of the faith among all nations,

I assure you, therefore, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus an accursed thing, and no one can call Jesus Lord, except by the Holy Spirit.

And if I have prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.

to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their offenses, and has given to us the word of reconciliation.

For he made him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become God's righteousness in him.

As Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him a righteousness.

But faith is a confidence in respect to things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.

but without faith it is impossible to please; for he that comes to God, must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of those that seek him.

What is the profit, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has not works? Can faith save him? And if a brother or sister is naked, or destitute of daily food, read more. and one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warmed and be filled, but gives them not the necessary supplies for the body, what is the profit? So also faith, if it has not works, is dead, being alone. But some one will say, You have faith, and I have works; show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by works. You believe that there is one God? You do well; demons also believe and tremble. But will you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? You see that faith cooperated with his works, and by works was faith made perfect, and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, And Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him a righteousness, and he was called God's friend. You see then that a man is justified by works and not by faith only. And in like manner also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? For as the body without a spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

SIMEON Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a like precious faith with us 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 commandment.

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

Not every one that says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that does the will of my Father in heaven.

And Simon Peter answered and said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonas, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven. read more. And I tell you that you are Peter [a rock], and upon this rock will I build my assembly, and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on the earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you unbind on the earth shall be unbound in heaven. Then he charged his disciples to tell no man that he was the Christ. From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and raised on the third day. And Peter taking hold of him said, rebuking him, Far be it from you, Lord! This shall not be to you. But he turned and said to Peter, Get behind me, Satan! You are an offense to me! For you regard not the things of God, but those of men. Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any one will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake, shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his life? Or what will a man give as an exchange for his life? For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father, with his angels, and then shall he render to every one according to his doing. I tell you truly, that some of those standing here shall not taste death till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, Why could we not cast it out?

but whoever offends one of these little ones that believe in me, it would be better for him that a millstone should be hung to his neck, and that he should be plunged into the depths of the sea.

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

Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint, and anise, and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law, justice, mercy, and faith. These you ought to do, and not neglect the others.

this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

saying, The time is completed, and the kingdom of God is at hand; change your minds and believe in the good news.

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

Blessed is the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has visited and redeemed his people, and raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David his servant; read more. as he said by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old; A salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us, to perform his mercy with our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant, the oath which he swore to Abraham our father, to grant us without fear, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, to serve him in holiness and righteousness before him all our days. And you, little child, shall be called a prophet of the Most High; for you shall go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways, to give a knowledge of salvation to his people, with a forgiveness of sins, on account of the compassionate mercies of our God, by which a morning from on high has visited us, to illuminate those sitting in darkness and the shade of death, to direct our feet in the way of peace.

And she coming by at that time, praised God, and spoke of him [the child] to all who expected a redemption in Jerusalem.

But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it is fully accomplished!

And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith.

This first miracle did Jesus perform at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

This first miracle did Jesus perform at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it. Then the Jews said to him, Forty-six years was this temple being built, and will you raise it in three days? read more. But he spoke of the temple of his body. When, therefore, he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus spoke. AND when he was at Jerusalem at the feast of the passover many believed on him, seeing his miracles which he performed;

AND when he was at Jerusalem at the feast of the passover many believed on him, seeing his miracles which he performed;

This man came to him by night and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can perform these miracles which you perform unless God is with him.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up;

He that believes in him is not judged; but he that believes not has been judged already; because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

He that believes on the Son has eternal life; but he that disbelieves the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God continues on him.

And many of the Samaritans in that city believed on him, on account of the word of the woman, testifying, He told me all things which I have done.

Then Jesus said to him, Unless you see miracles and prodigies you will not believe.

Then the men, seeing what a miracle Jesus had performed, said, This is truly the prophet who was to come into the world.

Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God; to believe on him whom he has sent.

for the bread of God is he that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.

Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life; he that comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes in me shall never thirst.

And many of the multitude believed on him, and said, When the Christ comes will he perform more miracles than this man has performed?

He that believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of him shall flow rivers of living water.

THEN Jesus spoke to them again, saying, I am the light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life.

When he said these things many believed on him.

Jesus heard that they had cast him without, and finding him he said to him, Do you believe in the Son of God?

Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life; he that believes in me, even if he has died, shall live,

Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life; he that believes in me, even if he has died, shall live,

Then many of the Jews who came with Mary, and saw what Jesus did, believed on him;

because many of the Jews withdrew on his account and believed in Jesus.

And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour has come that the Son of man should be glorified. I tell you most truly, that unless the kernel of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it continues alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. read more. He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall preserve it to eternal life.

While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be children of light. Jesus said these things, and went away and concealed himself from them.

that the word of Isaiah the prophet, which he spoke, might be fulfilled; Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God and believe in me.

Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by me. If you had known me you would have known my Father; and from this time you know him and have seen him.

But I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I should go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go I will send him to you.

Men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus the Nazoraean, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and prodigies and miracles, which God performed by him in the midst of you, as you yourselves know,

Men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus the Nazoraean, a man approved by God to you by mighty works and prodigies and miracles, which God performed by him in the midst of you, as you yourselves know, this man, delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have affixed to the cross, and killed by the hand of the wicked, read more. him has God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, as it was not possible that he should be held by it. For David says of him, I saw the Lord always before me, he is on my right hand that I should not be moved; therefore my heart rejoiced and my tongue was glad, and my flesh, moreover, shall also live in hope; for thou wilt not leave my soul in hades, nor suffer thy Holy One to see destruction. Thou hast made me know the ways of life, thou wilt fill me with joy with thy presence. Men and brothers, let me speak to you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God swore with an oath to him to set a descendant of his on his throne, foreseeing he spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that he was not left in hades neither did his flesh see destruction. This Jesus has God raised up, whose witnesses we all are. Being therefore exalted on the right hand of God, and receiving the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he has poured this out which you both see and hear. For David ascended not to heaven, but he says, The Lord said to my lord, Sit on my right hand till I make your enemies your footstool. Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly, that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified both Lord and Christ.

Let all the house of Israel therefore know certainly, that God has made this Jesus whom you crucified both Lord and Christ. And hearing [this] they were distressed in mind, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, Men and brothers, what shall we do? read more.

And all who believed were together and had all things common;

but what God had before declared by the mouth of all the prophets that his Anointed should suffer, he has so accomplished.

be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazoraean, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him has this man stood before you sound. This is the stone rejected by you builders, which has become the head of a corner. read more. And there is salvation in no other; for there is no other name given under heaven among men, by which we can be saved.

Behold, despisers, and wonder and perish, for I perform a work in your days, a work which you shall by no means believe even if one declares it to you.

because he has appointed a day in which he is about to judge the world in righteousness, by the man whom he has appointed, giving assurance to all by raising him from the dead.

Take heed to yourselves, therefore, and to all the flock in which the Holy Spirit has made you bishops, to feed the church of the Lord which he has purchased with his blood.

For this reason, therefore, I have called you to see and converse with you, because I am loaded with this chain on account of the hope of Israel.

For God's righteousness is revealed in it by faith in the faith [the gospel]; as it is written; The righteous shall live by faith.

For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief destroy the faith of God?

Is this blessedness then on the circumcision? or also on the uncircumcision? [Also on the uncircumcision.] For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

Wherefore also it was accounted to him for righteousness.

who was delivered up for our sins and raised for our justification.

but God commends his love to us, that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us;

And if children, [we are] also heirs, heirs indeed of God and co-heirs with Christ, if we suffer with him that we may also be glorified with him. For I think that the sufferings of the present time are of no account in comparison with the glory to be revealed in us. read more. For the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the revelation of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to a perishable condition, not willingly, but by him that subjected it, in hope that the same creation will be delivered from the servitude of destruction and [brought] into the glorious liberty of the sons of God. For we know that all the creation groans and is in pain till now; and not only it, but we ourselves also who have the first fruit of the Spirit, even ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our bodies.

as it is written; Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed.

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

But what does it say? The word is nigh you, in your mouth and in your mind; that is, the word of the faith which we preach. For if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe with your mind that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved; read more. for with the mind we believe to righteousness, and with the mouth we confess to salvation.

But all did not obey the gospel; for Isaiah says, Lord, who believed our report?

and to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of performing cures by the same Spirit,

And if I have prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.

But if Christ is preached that he was raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is not a resurrection of the dead, Christ has not been raised; read more. and if Christ has not been raised, then both our preaching is vain, and your faith also vain; and we are found also false witnesses of God, because we testified in regard to 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, Christ was not raised; and if Christ was not raised, your faith is vain, you are yet in your sins, and those then who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now Christ has been raised from the dead, a first fruit of those that have slept. For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ also shall all be made alive. But each one in his own order; Christ a first fruit, then those who are Christ's at his coming; then is the end, when he delivers up the kingdom to the God and Father, when he will destroy every principality and every authority and power. For he must reign till he has put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy, death, shall be destroyed, for he put all things under his feet. But when he says that all things are put under him, it is clear that he is excepted who puts all things under him; and when all things have been put under him, then will the Son also himself be subject to him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

And having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, therefore I spoke, we also believe and therefore speak,

while we look not on the things which are seen but on the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are for a time, but those which are unseen are eternal.

As Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him a righteousness.

As Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him a righteousness. Know, therefore, that those of faith, these are children of Abraham. read more. And the Scripture foreseeing that God would justify the nations by faith, promised before to Abraham, In you shall all the nations be blessed.

And it is evident that no one is justified by the law before God, because the just shall live by faith,

But before the faith came, we were kept shut up under the law for the faith to be revealed.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

And you, formerly alienated and enemies in mind by evil works, he has now reconciled by the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blame and without fault before him, if indeed you continue founded and established in the faith, and not moved from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached in all the creation under heaven; of which I, Paul, was made a minister. Now I rejoice in sufferings for you, and supply the deficiencies of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body, which is the church, of which I was made a minister according to the dispensation of God given me for you, to complete the word of God,

Let your words always be with kindness, seasoned with salt, that you may know how to answer every one.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also will God bring with him those that have fallen asleep on account of Jesus.

But we see Jesus, made a little less than angels, on account of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste death for every [man].

For we have also received the good news as they did; but the word of the report did not profit them, not being accompanied with faith in those who heard.

whence also he is able to save forever those who come to God through him, always living to intercede for them.

But Christ having come, a chief priest of the good times that were to come, with a greater and a more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, not with blood of goats and bullocks, but with his own blood, entered once into the sanctuary having found eternal redemption. read more. For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the defiled, sanctifies to the purification of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who with an eternal spirit offered himself without fault to God, purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

HAVING therefore, brothers, confidence in respect to the entrance into the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus,

let us approach with a true heart in a full assurance of faith, sprinkled in heart from an evil conscience, and washed in body with pure water,

But faith is a confidence in respect to things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.

but without faith it is impossible to please; for he that comes to God, must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of those that seek him.

What is the profit, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has not works? Can faith save him? And if a brother or sister is naked, or destitute of daily food, read more. and one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warmed and be filled, but gives them not the necessary supplies for the body, what is the profit? So also faith, if it has not works, is dead, being alone. But some one will say, You have faith, and I have works; show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by works. You believe that there is one God? You do well; demons also believe and tremble. But will you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? You see that faith cooperated with his works, and by works was faith made perfect, and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, And Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him a righteousness, and he was called God's friend.

and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, And Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him a righteousness, and he was called God's friend. You see then that a man is justified by works and not by faith only. read more. And in like manner also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? For as the body without a spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

whom not having seen you love, in whom believing though now you see him not you rejoice with joy unspeakable and glorious,

To you therefore who believe he is precious; but to the disobedient, the stone which the builders rejected has become the head of a corner read more. and a stone of stumbling and rock of offense, who stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.

for every child that has been born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory which overcomes the world, our faith.

John, to the seven churches in Asia. Grace and peace be to you, from the Is and the Was and the Is to come, and from the seven spirits which are before his throne, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first born from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him that loved us and washed us from our sins with his blood,

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first born from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him that loved us and washed us from our sins with his blood, and made us a kingdom, priests to God even his Father, to him be the glory and the power forever; amen.

And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead; and he put his right hand on me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last

For by grace are you saved through the faith; and that not of you; [it is] the gift of God;

What is the profit, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has not works? Can faith save him? And if a brother or sister is naked, or destitute of daily food, read more. and one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warmed and be filled, but gives them not the necessary supplies for the body, what is the profit? So also faith, if it has not works, is dead, being alone. But some one will say, You have faith, and I have works; show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by works. You believe that there is one God? You do well; demons also believe and tremble. But will you know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

Beloved, giving all diligence to write to you concerning the common salvation, I was under a necessity to write and exhort you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.

Jesus hearing wondered and said to those that followed him, I tell you truly, I have not found so great a faith with any one in Israel;

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

First, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in all the world.

For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief destroy the faith of God?

You have faith; have it for yourself before God, Blessed is he that condemns not himself in what he approves; but he that doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not of faith; and every thing which is not of faith is sin.

Only conduct yourselves as citizens worthily of the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand firm in one spirit, striving together with one mind for the faith of the gospel,
