through whom we have received grace and apostleship, in order to the obedience of faith among all nations, for the honor of his name,

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

that is, that I may both give and receive com fort, while I am among you, through our common faith.

For in it God's plan of justifying men by faith is revealed, in order to faith: as it is written, He that is justified by faith, shall live.

I repeat it, God's plan of justifying men through faith in Jesus Christ, which is for all, and on all that believe; for there is no difference;

whom God has set forth as a propitiatory sacrifice, through faith in his blood, in order to manifest his righteousness, in passing by the sins that were formerly committed through the forbearance of God;

Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No; but by the law of faith.

For we conclude that a man is justified by faith, without deeds of law.

since there is one God, who will justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through the faith.

Do we, then, make law void through the faith? It can not be. On the other hand, we establish law.

but to him that works not, but believes on him that justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Comes this blessedness then on those who are circumcised only, or on those who are uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was counted to Abraham for righteousness.

And he received the sign of circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness of the faith that he had while he was uncircumcised, in order that he might be the father of all that believe, even in a state of uncircumcision, so that righteousness might be counted to them also;

and the father of circumcision to those who are not only circumcised, but who, also, walk in the steps of that faith which our father Abraham had while he was yet uncircumcised.

For the promise that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, nor to his posterity, through law, but through the righteousness of faith.

For if they that are of the law be heirs, the faith is made powerless, and the promise is unmeaning;

Therefore, the inheritance is by faith, that it may be according to grace, in order that the promise may be sure to all his posterity, not to those only who are of the law, but to those, also, who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,

And not being weak in faith, he considered not his own body, which was already dead, (for he was about a hundred years old,) nor the deadness of Sarah's womb;

and he doubted not, through unbelief, with respect to the promise of God, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God,

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

through whom we have had access, by faith, into this grace in which we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

What, then, shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not seek after justification, have obtained justification, even the justification which is by faith:

And why? Because they sought it not by faith, but as if by works of law: for they stumbled against that stone of stumbling,

But the justification by faith speaks thus: Say not in your heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? that is, to bring Christ down;

But what says it? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart; that is, the word of faith which we preach;

So, then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Well; on ac count of unbelief they were broken off; but you stand by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear.

For I say, through the grace given to me, to every one that is among you, that he must not think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but that he be disposed to think modestly, as God has distributed to each a measure of faith.

Since, then, we have gifts which differ according to the grace that is given to us, whether we have the gift of prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;

Him that is weak in the faith, receive kindly, but not to judge his reasonings.

Have you faith? Have it to yourself before God. Blessed is he who condemns not himself in that which he approves.

But he that doubts is condemned, if he eat, because he eats not with faith. Every thing that is not of faith, is sin.

but is now made manifest, and through the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, made known among all nations for the obedience of faith,
