through whom we received grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;

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

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

For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous shall live by faith."

For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?

even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,

whom God set forth to be an atoning sacrifice, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God's forbearance;

to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time; that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.

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

We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

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

Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.

But to him who doesn't work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.

Is this blessing then pronounced on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.

He is the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.

For the promise to Abraham and to his seed that he should be heir of the world wasn't through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.

For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed, not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.

Without being weakened in faith, he didn't consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb.

Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn't waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,

Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

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

What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn't follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;

Why? Because they didn't seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;

But the righteousness which is of faith says this, "Don't 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 by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don't be conceited, but fear;

For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

Having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, if prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;

Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.

One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.

Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn't judge himself in that which he approves.

But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn't of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.

(14:25) but now is revealed, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, is made known for obedience of faith to all the nations;
