Through him we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations,

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

that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith.

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

What if some did not have faith? Will their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God?

the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. For there is no difference,

whom God put forward as an atoning sacrifice by his blood, to be received through faith. This was to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over sins committed beforehand;

and it was to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

Where then is our boasting? It is excluded. On what law? On the law of works? No, but on the law of faith.

For we hold that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

since there is one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through their faith.

Do we then nullify the law by this faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we uphold the law.

And to one who does not work but trusts him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.

Is this blessedness only upon the circumcised, or also upon the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness which he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be reckoned to them.

And he is also the father of the circumcised who are not only circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith which our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

The promise to Abraham and his descendants, that he would be heir of the world, was not through the law but through the righteousness of faith.

For if those who are of the law are to be the heirs, faith has no value and the promise is void,

Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all his descendantsnot only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, for he is the father of us all

And he did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb.

He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,

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

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

What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, righteousness through faith;

Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were by works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone,

But the righteousness based on faith says, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down)

But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach);

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast only by faith. So do not be proud, but stand in awe.

For by the grace given to me I say to every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith which God has assigned him.

Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith;

As for the man who is weak in faith, accept him, but not for disputes over opinions.

One believes he may eat anything, but the man whose faith is weak eats only vegetables.

The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself for what he approves.

But he who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not act from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.

but is now revealed and made known to all nations through the prophetic writings, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith
