And Jesus said unto them, because of your unbelief: for verily I tell you, if ye had but faith as a grain of mustard-seed, ye might say to this mountain, Remove from hence thither, and it shall remove: and nothing would be impossible to you.

And Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

that whosoever shall say to this mountain, "Be thou removed and cast into the sea," and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith shall be done, he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye ask in prayer, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

he that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved; but he that believeth not, shall be condemned.

that whosoever believeth on Him may not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him might not perish, but have everlasting life:

This man heard Paul speaking; who looking earnestly at him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,

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

And first I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is celebrated through the whole world:

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

he that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved; but he that believeth not, shall be condemned.

For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him might not perish, but have everlasting life: for God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved by Him. read more. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not, is already condemned; because he hath not believed on the name of the only-begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doth evil, hateth the light; and he cometh not to the light, least his deeds should be reproved. But he that acts according to truth, cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. After these things came Jesus, and his disciples into the land of Judea: and He stayed with them there, and baptized. And John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim; because there was much water there: and people came to him and were baptized. For John was not yet cast into prison. Now there arose a dispute between some of the disciples of John, and the Jews, about purifying. And they came to John, and said unto him, Rabbi, He that was with thee on the other side Jordan, to whom thou barest testimony, behold, He baptizeth and all the people come to Him. John answered and said, A man can take nothing upon him, unless it be given him from heaven. Ye your selves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but am sent before Him. He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth with great joy at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore my joy is complete. He must increase, but I must decrease. He, that cometh from above, is above all: he that is of the earth, is earthly, and talketh like one of the earth: but He that cometh from heaven, is above all: and what He hath seen and heard, this He testifieth: and yet scarce any one receiveth his testimony. He that hath received his testimony, hath set his seal to this, that God is true: for He, whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for God giveth the Spirit to Him not by measure. The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all into his hand: wherefore he that believeth on the Son, hath eternal life; and he that obeyeth not the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.

All that the Father giveth me, will come unto me; and him that cometh to me I will not cast out.

And this is the will of Him that sent me, that every one who looketh attentively at the Son, and so believeth on Him, may have eternal life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

No one can come to me, unless 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, rivers of living water shall flow from within him.

and I know them, and they follow me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; nor shall any one force 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 shall see me no more; but ye shall see me: and because I live, ye shall live also.

And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was greatly multiplied; and a great number of the priests became obedient to the faith.

To Him do all the prophets bear witness, that whosoever believeth on Him shall receive the forgiveness of their sins through his name.

And when the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were determined for eternal life believed.

and made no difference between us and them, having purified their hearts by faith.

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

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

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

by whom we have received grace and apostleship to preach the obedience of faith for his name's sake, to all nations;

and this righteousness of God is by faith in Jesus Christ unto all and upon all believers; for there is no difference;

whom God hath appointed to be a propitiation, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness, in the remission of past sins, according to the forbearance of God;

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

Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life: for if we have been planted together in the resemblance of his death, so shall we be also of his resurrection. read more. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we might no longer be inslaved to sin: for he that is thus dead with Christ, is delivered from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him: knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more power over Him: for as He died, He died once for all on account of sin; but as He liveth, He liveth unto God.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit.

But how shall they call upon him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe on him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? and how shall they preach unless they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who bring the good tidings of peace, who bring the good tidings of good things? read more. But all have not obeyed the gospel: for Esaias saith, "Lord, who hath believed our report?" So that faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

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

But only they had heard that he who persecuted us before, now preacheth the faith which he formerly would have destroyed.

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 Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

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

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation to the knowledge of Him, and enlighten the eyes of your understanding; that ye may know, what is the hope of his calling, and how rich the glory of his inheritance in the saints;

but holding the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him, who is the head, even Christ: from whom the whole body being fitly joined together and compacted by the aid of every joint, according to the operation proportioned to every part, maketh an increase to the edification of itself in love.

Only behave worthy of the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or be absent, I may hear of you, that ye stand firm in one Spirit, striving together as with one soul for the saith of the gospel;

not having my own righteousness which is of the law, but that which is by the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: that I may know Him,

Behave yourselves wisely towards them that are without,

Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with discretion to know how ye ought to answer every one.

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

Beloved, having an earnest desire to write to you concerning the common salvation, I was under a necessity of writing to exhort you that ye would strive earnestly for the faith which was once delivered to the saints.

Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was greatly multiplied; and a great number of the priests became obedient to the faith.

by whom we have received grace and apostleship to preach the obedience of faith for his name's sake, to all nations;

and this righteousness of God is by faith in Jesus Christ unto all and upon all believers; for there is no difference;

for what saith the scripture? "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness."

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

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

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

Who shall lay any accusation against the elect of God? will God, who justifieth us?

For Christ is the end of the law, for righteousness to every believer.

but is now manifested, and made known to all nations by the writings of the prophets, according to the appointment of the eternal God,

I must acquaint you, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God, calleth Jesus a curse: and no one can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the holy Ghost.

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and am acquainted with all mysteries, and all knowledge: yea if I have faith, even. to remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

to declare, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing to them their trespasses, and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

For He hath made Him, who knew no sin, to be a sin-offering for us, that in Him we might be made righteous before God.

As Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness:

Now faith is the confident expectation of things hoped for, and a conviction of things not seen:

whereas without faith it is impossible to please Him; for he that cometh to God must believe, that He is, and is the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

What is the advantage, my brethren, if any one say that he has faith, and he hath not works, can faith alone save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food; read more. and one of you say to them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and be ye filled: but ye give them not the necessaries of life, what profit is it to them? so faith, if it have not works, being alone, is dead. But one may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith by thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou dost well: the devils also believe and tremble. But desirest thou to know, O vain man, that faith without works, is dead? consider, Was not our father Abraham justified by works, when he offered his son Isaac upon the altar? Thou seest that faith co-operated with his works, and that by his works his faith was perfected. And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God. Ye see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. And in like manner also was not the harlot Rahab justified by works, when she entertained the spies, and let them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us, in the righteousness of our God, and of our 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 hath given us a charge to do.

Now if we admit the testimony of men, sure the testimony of God is greater: and this is the testimony of God, which He hath testified concerning his Son. He, that believeth on the Son of God, hath the witness in himself: he, that believeth not God, hath in effect made Him a liar, because he believed not the testimony which God hath testified of his Son. read more. And the testimony is this, that God hath given to us eternal life; and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life: he that hath not the Son of God hath not 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 eternal life, and that ye may the more firmly believe on the name of the Son of God.

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doth the will of my Father, who is in heaven:

And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ the Son of the living God. And Jesus replied and said unto him, Blessed art thou Simon son of Jonas, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven. read more. And I also say unto thee, as thou art called Peter, so upon this rock, which thou hast confessed, will I build my church, and the gates of death 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 charged He his disciples that they should tell no one that He was the Messiah. And from that time began Jesus to acquaint his disciples, that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scribes; and be put to death, and be raised again on the third day. Then Peter took Him and began to expostulate with Him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: may this never be unto thee. But He turned and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan, thou art an offence to me; for thou regardest not the things of God, but those that be of men. Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any one is willing to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me: for he that would save his life shall lose it; but he that would lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give as a ransom for his soul? For the Son of man will come in the glory of his father, with his angels, and then he will recompense every one according to his practice. And I tell you of a truth, there be some of those standing here, who shall not taste of death, till they have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

Then came the disciples to Jesus in private, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

but whosoever shall lay a stumbling-block in the way of one of these little ones, who believe in me, it were better for him that a milstone were hung on his neck, and that he were thrown into the sea.

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

Wo unto you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites, who tithe even your mint, and anise, and cummin, but neglect the weightier matters of the law, judgement, mercy, and fidelity: these ye ought undoubtedly to practise, and not to omit the others.

for this is my blood, the blood of the new covenant, which is to be shed for many for the remission of sins:

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

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

and prophesied, saying, "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He hath visited and wrought redemption for his people, and hath raised up an horn of salvation for us, read more. in the house of his servant David, as He spake by the mouth of his holy prophets from the beginning, even salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us, to display his mercy towards our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant, according to the oath which He sware to Abraham our father, to grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him, all the days of our life. And thou, my child, shalt be called the prophet of the most High; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, to make known salvation to his people, in the remission of their sins, through the tender mercy of our God, whereby the day-spring hath visited us from on high, to enlighten them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to direct our feet into the way of peace."

And coming in at the very same time, gave thanks unto the Lord, and spake of Him to all that were looking for redemption in Jerusalem.

who appeared in glory, and spake of his exit, which He was to make at Jerusalem.

for I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how I am straitened till it be accomplished?

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

And ye are witnesses of these things: and I will send upon you the promise of my Father;

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

This beginning of his miracles Jesus wrought at Cana of Galilee, and made manifest his glory: and his disciples believed on Him.

This beginning of his miracles Jesus wrought at Cana of Galilee, and made manifest his glory: and his disciples believed on Him.

Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again: then said the Jews, Forty and six years has this temple been in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days? but He spake of the temple of his body. read more. Therefore when he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered, that He had said this to them: and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said. And when he was in Jerusalem at the passover on the feast-day, many believed in his name, seeing his miracles, which He wrought.

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

He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not, is already condemned; because he hath not believed on the name of the only-begotten Son of God.

wherefore he that believeth on the Son, hath eternal life; and he that obeyeth not the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.

And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on Him, because of what the woman said, testifying, He told me all that ever I did.

Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders ye will not believe.

Therefore the people when they had seen the miracle that Jesus wrought, said, this is certainly the Prophet who was to come into the world.

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

For the bread of God is that which descendeth from heaven, and giveth life to the world.

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

And many of the people believed on Him, and said, When the Messiah cometh, will He do more miracles than this man hath done?

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

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.

And they cast him out. Now Jesus heard that they had turned him out of the synagogue; and when He met him, He said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

Jesus then told her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth on me, though he were dead, shall live again.

Jesus then told her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth on me, though he were dead, shall live again.

Therefore many of the Jews, that came to Mary and saw what Jesus did, believed on Him.

Because on his account many of the Jews went away from them, and believed on Jesus.

And Jesus answered them saying, The time is come that the Son of man is to be glorified. Though I tell you indeed and in truth, Except a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it remaineth alone; but if it die, it produceth much fruit. read more. So he, that loveth his life, shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall preserve it unto life eternal.

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

so that the word of Esaias the prophet was fulfilled, which he spake, saying, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, believe also in me.

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

Believe me therefore that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: at lest, believe me for the very works. Verily, verily I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I perform he also shall perform, and greater than these shall he do: because I am going to the Father.

Nevertheless I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I should go away; for if I go not away, the comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you.

Nor do I pray for these only, but for them also that shall believe on me through their word.

Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

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

Whom God hath raised up again, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it. For David saith concerning Him, "I set the Lord always before me, for He is at my right hand, that I should not be moved: therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; and my flesh shall rest in hope, that Thou wilt not leave my soul in the invisible state, nor suffer thine holy one to see corruption. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; and Thou wilt fill me with joy by the light of thy countenance." Men and brethren, allow me to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David, that he is dead and buried, and his sepulchre is among us to this day. Therefore being 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 on his throne; foreseeing this he spake of the resurrection of Christ, when he said, that his soul was not left in the invisible state, nor did his flesh see corruption. This Jesus hath God raised up from the dead, of which we all are witnesses. Therefore being exalted by the right hand of God, and having received of the Father the promise of the holy Spirit, He hath poured forth this gift, which ye now see and hear. For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he himself says, "The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool." Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made this very Jesus, whom ye crucified, both Lord and Christ.

Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made this very Jesus, whom ye crucified, both Lord and Christ. Now when they heard this, they were pricked to the heart, and said unto Peter, and to the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do? read more. And Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the holy Spirit:

And all that believed were together, and had all things common.

but thus hath God accomplished those things which He had foretold by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer.

by what means he is cured, be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, but whom God hath raised from the dead, even by Him doth this man stand here before you whole.

And there is salvation in no other; for there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we can be saved.

"Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and vanish; for I do a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though any one should declare it unto you."

Because He hath fixed a day, in which He will judge the world in righteousness, by that man whom He hath appointed thereto; having given assurance of it to all men, by raising Him from the dead.

Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the holy Spirit hath appointed you bishops, to feed the church of God, which He purchased with his own blood.

For this reason therefore I desired to see and to speak to you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.

but powerfully declared to be the Son of God, according to the spirit of holiness, by his resurrection from the dead, even Jesus Christ our Lord;

for the righteousness of God is therein revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

For what if some did not believe? shall their incredulity make the faithfulness of God of no effect?

Now is this blessedness upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? for we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

and therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

But God recommendeth his love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and co-heirs with Christ: if so be we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified with Him. And I account the sufferings of this present time not worthy to be set against the glory that shall be revealed to us. read more. For the earnest expectation of the world is waiting for the revelation of the sons of God: (for the world was subjected to vanity, not willingly, but through him who made it subject:) in hope that they also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole world groaneth, and doth as it were travail in pain together even to this day. And not only others, but those also who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit the redemption of our body.

as it is written, "Behold I lay in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence:" and again, "Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed."

For Christ is the end of the law, for righteousness to every believer.

bring up Christ from the dead)" but what saith it? "The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart." This is the word of faith which we preach: that if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart, that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. read more. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

But all have not obeyed the gospel: for Esaias saith, "Lord, who hath believed our report?"

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and am acquainted with all mysteries, and all knowledge: yea if I have faith, even. to remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

Now if it be preached that Christ is risen from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead? for if there be no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. read more. And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses concerning God, for we have testified of God, that He raised up Christ; whom He did not raise up, if indeed the dead do not rise. For if the dead rise not, then Christ is not raised: and if Christ be not risen, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also that sleep in Christ, are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now Christ is risen from the dead, and is become the first-fruits of them that slept: for as by man came death, by man cometh also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in their proper order: the first-fruits, Christ; afterwards they that are Christ's, at his coming. Then will be the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God even the Father; when He shall have abolished all rule, and all authority, and power. For he must reign till He hath put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy that is destroyed is death: for He hath put all things under his feet. But when He saith that all things are put under Him, it is plain that we are to except Him who put all things under Him. And when all things shall be subjected to Him, then shall the Son also himself be subject to Him, that put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.

But having the same Spirit of faith, according to what is written, "I believed, and therefore have I spoken," we also believe, and therefore speak:

for those, which are visible, are temporary, but the invisible are eternal.

(for we walk by faith, not by sight,) we are confident, I say,

As Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness:

And the scripture foreseeing that God would justify the gentiles through faith, preached the gospel to Abraham long ago, saying, "In thee shall all nations be blessed."

And that by the law no one is justified before God is evident; for it is written "The just shall live by faith:"

But before faith came, we were kept shut up under the law, till the faith appeared which was to be revealed.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering,

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, would give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation to the knowledge of Him, and enlighten the eyes of your understanding; that ye may know, what is the hope of his calling, and how rich the glory of his inheritance in the saints; read more. and what the exceeding greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the energy of his mighty strength; which He exerted in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at his own right hand in heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might 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 given Him to be head over all things to the church; which is his body, the complete work of Him, who filleth all in all.

And He is the head of the body, which is the church: who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in all things He might have the pre-eminence. For it pleased the Father, that all fulness should dwell in Him; read more. and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace by the blood of his cross; by Him only, whether they be things on earth, or things in heaven. And you that were formerly alienated, and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled in the body of his flesh, through death, to present you holy, and unblameable, and unreproveable in his sight: if so be ye continue grounded and settled in the faith, and be not moved from the gospel, which ye have heard, and which hath been preached throughout the whole creation, of which I Paul am a minister. Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up what is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh, for the sake of his body, which is the church. Of which I was made a minister according to the dispensation of God, which is given me towards you, that I might fully declare the word of God:

Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with discretion to know how ye ought to answer every one.

for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also those, that sleep in Jesus, will God bring with Him.

But we see Jesus, who was made for a little while lower than the angels, in order to suffer death, that by the grace of God He might taste death for every man, crowned with glory and honor.

for we are graciously offered it, as they also were. But the word, which they heard, did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

wherefore also He is able to save to the uttermost, those that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.

But Christ being come an high-priest of the good things to come, hath entered once for all into the holy places, through a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this building, nor by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption for us. read more. For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purification of the flesh; how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself spotless to God, purify your conscience from dead works, that ye may serve the living God?

Having therefore, brethren, free admission into the holy places by the blood of Jesus,

let us draw near with sincerity, in the full assurance of faith, having our hearts cleansed from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

Now faith is the confident expectation of things hoped for, and a conviction of things not seen:

whereas without faith it is impossible to please Him; for he that cometh to God must believe, that He is, and is the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he continued firm as seeing Him who is invisible.

What is the advantage, my brethren, if any one say that he has faith, and he hath not works, can faith alone save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food; read more. and one of you say to them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and be ye filled: but ye give them not the necessaries of life, what profit is it to them? so faith, if it have not works, being alone, is dead. But one may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith by thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou dost well: the devils also believe and tremble. But desirest thou to know, O vain man, that faith without works, is dead? consider, Was not our father Abraham justified by works, when he offered his son Isaac upon the altar? Thou seest that faith co-operated with his works, and that by his works his faith was perfected. And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was counted 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 counted to him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God. Ye see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. read more. And in like manner also was not the harlot Rahab justified by works, when she entertained the spies, and let them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

whom having not seen ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing ye rejoice with joy ineffable and full of glory; receiving the end of your faith,

Whence also it is said in scripture, Behold I lay in Sion a chief corner-stone, choice and precious: and he that confideth on it shall not be ashamed. To you therefore who believe it is precious: but to them that are disobedient, the stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner, read more. and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence. These stumble at the word through unbelief, unto which also they were appointed.

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that vanquisheth the world, even our faith.

John to the seven churches in Asia---Grace and peace be to you, from Him who is, and who was, and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; and from Jesus Christ, who is 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 in his own blood,

and from Jesus Christ, who is 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 in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests to his God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

And when I saw Him, I fell at his feet as dead; and He laid his right hand upon me, and said to me, "Fear not,

wherefore he that believeth on the Son, hath eternal life; and he that obeyeth not the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.

and believe in thine heart, that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

(for we walk by faith, not by sight,) we are confident, I say,

For by grace ye are saved, through faith: and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not by works, that no one may boast:

Beloved, having an earnest desire to write to you concerning the common salvation, I was under a necessity of writing to exhort you that ye would strive earnestly for the faith which was once delivered to the saints.

And when Jesus heard it He marvelled, and said to them that followed Him, Verily, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith even in Israel:

Some days after Felix coming with his wife Drusilla, a Jewess, sent for Paul, and heard him concerning faith in Christ.

And first I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is celebrated through the whole world:

For what if some did not believe? shall their incredulity make the faithfulness of God of no effect?

Thou who hast faith, have it to thyself before God: and happy is he that condemneth not himself in what he alloweth himself to do. But he that hath any scruple, is condemned if he eat; because he doth it not with faith: and whatsoever is not of faith, is sin.

Only behave worthy of the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or be absent, I may hear of you, that ye stand firm in one Spirit, striving together as with one soul for the saith of the gospel;

Beloved, having an earnest desire to write to you concerning the common salvation, I was under a necessity of writing to exhort you that ye would strive earnestly for the faith which was once delivered to the saints.
