It is through him, even Jesus Christ our Lord, that I received grace and apostleship to promote obedience to the faith among all the Gentiles, for his name's sake;

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

that is, that I with you may be encouraged by you, each of us by the other's faith, yours and mine.

FOR IN IT IS BEING REVEALED A RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH PROCEEDS FROM GOD, FROM FAITH UNTO FAITH; AS IT IS WRITTEN.

They were without sense, without faith, without natural affection, without mercy.

I mean a righteousness coming from God through faith in Jesus Christ, for all who believe. For there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile,

For God openly set him forth for himself as an offering of atonement through faith, by means of his blood, in order to show forth his righteousness??ince in his forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed??o show forth his righteousness,

I say, at this present time; that he himself might be just, and yet the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.

Then what becomes of boasting? It is shut out. What sort of law forbids it? A law of works? No, but a law of faith.

For I conclude that a man is justified by faith, altogether apart from the deeds of the Law.

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

Do we then render law invalid through faith? Certainly not; on the contrary we make it stand.

but a man who does not "work," but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, has his faith imputed to him for righteousness.

Is this blessing, then, for the circumcised alone? or for the uncircumcised also? Abraham's faith, I say, was imputed to him for righteousness.

and he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the faith-righteousness which he had while he was in uncircumcision; in order that he might be the father of all who believe, even though they are uncircumcised; so that righteousness might be imputed to them.

He is the father of circumcision to those who are not merely circumcised, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he held while he was as yet uncircumcised.

For the promise that he should be heir of the world did not come to Abraham or to his posterity through law, but through faith-righteousness.

For if those who are righteous through law are heirs, faith is empty and the promise becomes void.

This is why righteousness is of faith, that it may be a free gift; so that the promise stands firm to all Abraham's posterity; not to his children of his faith. For in the sight of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead, and calls into being that which is not, Abraham is the father of us all both Jews and Gentiles,

For Abraham, hoping against hope, had faith to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So numberless shall your descendants be.

Though he was about a hundred years old, his faith did not fail him when he regarded his own body, now as good as dead. and remembered Sarah's barrenness.

Nor did he with regard to the promise of God waver in unbelief, but he waxed strong in faith, while he gave God glory,

And so his faith was reckoned to him for righteousness.

Since we stand justified as the result of faith, let us continue to enjoy the peace we have with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

What then shall we say? That Gentiles who never pursed righteousness have overtaken it, even the righteousness of faith?

And why? Because they sought it not by faith, but thought to gain it by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling;

But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way. Say not in thine heart, "Who shall ascend to heaven?"??hat is, to bring Christ down;

But what does it say? The word is near thee, even in thy mouth and in thy heart. That is the very word of faith which we preach;

So faith comes from a message heard, and the message comes from the teaching of Christ.

True, through their unbelief they were broken off, and by your faith you stand. Do not be puffed up, but fear;

For, through the grace that was given to me, I tell every man among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think, as to think soberly, according to the measure of faith which God has given him.

But we have gifts differing according to the grace which was given to us. He that has the gift of prophecy, let him prophesy according to the proportion of his faith.

Welcome a man of weak faith, but not for the purpose of deciding doubtful points.

One man has faith to eat anything; but he whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.

Have you faith? Keep it to yourself as in the presence of God. He is a happy man who does not condemn himself in that which he approves.

But he who has misgivings, and yet eats meat, is condemned already, because his action is not based on faith; and whatever is not based on faith is sin.

but now has been brought to light, and by command of the eternal God made known to the Gentiles by the scriptures of the Prophets, so that the Gentiles might hold obedience of the faith.
