but they were only hearing that "He who was once our persecutor is now preaching the faith which he was once destroying";

but knowing that a man is not accepted as righteous by the works of the Law, but by faith in Christ Jesus, we also have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be accepted as righteous by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the Law; for by the works of the Law shall no flesh be accepted as righteous.

I have been crucified with Christ, and no longer do I live, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

This only I desire to learn from you: Was it from the works of the Law that ye received the Spirit, or by the preaching of faith?

Doth he then who is supplying to you the Spirit, and working miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by the preaching of faith?

Know then that they who have faith, these are the sons of Abraham.

Moreover the Scripture, foreseeing that God was to accept the gentiles as righteous by faith, proclaimed beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham, saying, "In thee shall all nations be blessed."

So then they who have faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

But further, that through the observance of the Law no one is accepted as righteous with God is evident; for "the righteous shall live by faith."

And the Law hath nothing to do with faith; but [its language is], "He that hath done them shall live in them."

to the end that in Christ Jesus the blessing promised to Abraham might come to the gentiles, that we through faith might receive the Spirit which was promised.

but the Scripture shut up all under sin, that the blessing promised through faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

But before faith came, we were kept in ward under the Law, shut up unto the faith which was to be revealed.

So then the Law hath been our schoolmaster, to lead us to Christ, that we might be accepted as righteous through faith;

but faith having come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

For ye are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus;

For we through the Spirit by faith steadfastly wait for the hope of righteousness.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working by love.

So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
