But if God so beautifully dresses the wild grass, which is alive today and is thrown into the furnace tomorrow, will he not much more surely clothe you, you who have so little faith?

When Jesus heard this he was astonished, and said to his followers, "I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such faith as this.

And he said to them, "Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!" Then he got up and reproved the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.

Some people came bringing to him on a bed a man who was paralyzed. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the man, "Courage, my son! Your sins are forgiven."

And Jesus turned and saw her, and he said, "Courage, my daughter! Your faith has cured you!" And from that time the woman was well.

Then he touched their eyes and said, "You shall have what your faith expects."

And he did not do many wonders there, because of their want of faith.

Jesus immediately stretched out his hand and caught hold of him, and said to him, "Why did you waver? You have so little faith!"

Then Jesus answered, "You have great faith! You shall have what you want." And her daughter was cured from that time.

Jesus noticed it and said, "Why are you discussing with one another your being without bread? You have so little faith!

He said to them, "Because you have so little faith. For I tell you, if you have faith the size of a grain of mustard, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here over to there!' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you."

Jesus answered, "I tell you, if you have faith and have no doubt, you will not only do what I have done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Get up and throw yourself into the sea,' it will be done.

And everything that you pray for with faith, you will obtain."

When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "My son, your sins are forgiven."

And he said to them, "Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?"

And he said to her, "My daughter, it is your faith that has cured you. Go in peace and be free from your disease."

But Jesus paid no attention to what they said, but said to the leader of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid, just have faith."

And he wondered at their want of faith. Then he went around among the villages teaching.

Jesus said to him, " 'If there is anything I can do!' Everything is possible for one who has faith!"

The boy's father immediately cried out, "I have faith! Help my want of faith!"

Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your faith has cured you." And he immediately regained his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

Jesus answered and said to them, "Have faith in God!

I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Get up and throw yourself into the sea!' and has no doubt in his mind, but has faith that what he says will happen, shall have it.

Therefore I tell you, whenever you pray or ask for anything, have faith that it has been granted you, and you shall have it.

Still later he appeared to the Eleven themselves when they were at table, and reproached them for their obstinacy and want of faith, because they had not believed those who had seen him after he had been raised from the dead.

When he saw their faith, he said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven!"

When Jesus heard this, he was astonished at him, and turning to the crowd that was following him, he said, "I tell you, I have not found such faith as this even in Israel!"

But he said to the woman, "It is your faith that has saved you. Go in peace."

And he said to them, "Where is your faith?" But they were frightened and amazed, and said to one another, "Who can he be? For he gives orders even to the winds and the water, and they obey him!"

And he said to her, "My daughter, it is your faith that has cured you. Go in peace."

But Jesus heard it and said to him, "Do not be afraid; just have faith, and she will get well."

But if God so dresses the wild grass, which is alive today, and is thrown into the furnace tomorrow, how much more surely will he clothe you, who have so little faith?

The apostles said to the Master, "Give us more faith."

And the Master said, "If your faith is as big as a mustard seed, you might have said to this mulberry tree, 'Be pulled up by the roots and planted in the sea,' and it would have obeyed you!

And he said to him, "Stand up and go! Your faith has cured you."

I tell you, he will make haste to provide it! But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?"

And Jesus said to him, "Regain your sight! Your faith has cured you!"

but I have prayed that your own faith may not fail. And afterward you yourself must turn and strengthen your brothers."

It is by his power and through faith in him that this man whom you see and recognize has been made strong again, and it is faith inspired by him that has given him the perfect health you all see.

This plan met the approval of the whole body, and they selected Stephen, a man full of faith and of the holy Spirit, with Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicholas of Antioch, who had been a convert to Judaism.

So God's message continued to spread; the number of the disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a great many priests accepted the faith.

for he was an excellent man, full of the holy Spirit and faith. So a considerable number of people came over to the Lord.

But Elymas the magician??or that is the meaning of his name??pposed them, and tried to keep the governor from accepting the faith.

He was listening to Paul as he talked, when Paul looked at him and, seeing that he had faith that he would be cured,

reassuring the disciples and encouraging them to stand by the faith and reminding them that we have to undergo many hardships to get into the Kingdom of God.

When they arrived there, they called the church together, and reported how God had worked with them, and how he had opened the way to faith for the heathen.

making no difference between us and them, but cleansing their hearts by faith.

So the churches became stronger and stronger in the faith, and their numbers increased from day to day.

Then he took them up to his house and offered them food, and he and all his household were very happy over their new faith in God.

Some days later Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, and sent for Paul and heard what he had to say about faith in Christ Jesus.

to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light and from Satan's control to God, so that they may have their sins forgiven and have a place among those who are consecrated through faith in me.'

So keep up your courage, gentlemen! For I have faith in God that it will be just as I was told.

through whom we have received God's favor and been commissioned in his name to urge obedience and faith upon all the heathen,

First I thank my God through Jesus Christ about you all, because the news of your faith is spreading all over the world.

in other words, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith.

For I am not ashamed of the good news, for it is God's power for the salvation of everyone who has faith, of the Jew first and then of the Greek.

In it God's way of uprightness is disclosed through faith and for faith, just as the Scripture says, "The upright will have life because of his faith."

What if some of them have shown a lack of faith? Can their lack of it nullify the faithfulness of God?

It is God's way of uprightness and comes through having faith in Jesus Christ, and it is for all who have faith, without distinction.

For God showed him publicly dying as a sacrifice of reconciliation to be taken advantage of through faith. This was to vindicate his own justice (for in his forbearance, God passed over men's former sins)??26 to vindicate his justice at the present time, and show that he is upright himself, and that he makes those who have faith in Jesus upright also.

Then what becomes of our boasting? It is shut out. On what principle? What a man does? No, but whether a man has faith.

For we hold that a man is made upright by faith; the observance of the Law has nothing to do with it.

there is but one God, and he will make the circumcised upright on the ground of their faith and the uncircumcised upright because of theirs."

Is this using faith to overthrow law? Far from it. This confirms the Law.

for what does the Scripture say? "Abraham had faith in God, and it was credited to him as uprightness."

but a man who has no work to offer, but has faith in him who can make the ungodly upright, has his faith credited to him as uprightness.

Does this happiness apply to those who are circumcised, or to those who are uncircumcised as well? What we say is, Abraham's faith was credited to him as uprightness.

and he was afterward given the mark of circumcision as the stamp of God's acknowledgment of the uprightness based on faith that was his before he was circumcised, so that he should be the forefather of all who, without being circumcised, have faith and so are credited with uprightness,

and the forefather of those circumcised persons who not only share his circumcision but follow our forefather Abraham's example in the faith he had before he was circumcised.

For the promise made to Abraham and his descendants that the world should belong to him did not come to him or his descendants through the Law, but through the uprightness that resulted from his faith.

For if it is the adherents of the Law who are to possess it, faith is nullified and the promise amounts to nothing!

That is why it all turns upon faith; it is to make it a matter of God's favor, so that the promise may hold good for all Abraham's descendants, not only those who are adherents of the Law, but also those who share the faith of Abraham. For he is the father of all of us;

as the Scripture says, "I have made you the father of many nations." The promise is guaranteed in the very sight of God in whom he had faith, who can bring the dead to life and call into being what does not exist.

Abraham, hoping against hope, had faith, and so became the father of many nations, in fulfilment of the Scripture, "So countless shall your descendants be."

His faith did not weaken, although he realized that his own body was worn out, for he was about a hundred years old, and that Sarah was past bearing children.

He did not incredulously question God's promise, but his faith gave him power and he praised God

but also on ours, for it is to be credited also to us who have faith in him who raised from the dead our Lord Jesus,

So as we have been made upright by faith, let us live in peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

by whom we have been introduced through faith to the favor of God that we now enjoy, and let us glory in our hope of sharing the glory of God.

Then what do we conclude? That heathen who were not striving for uprightness attained it, that is, an uprightness which was produced by faith;

And why? Because they did not seek it through faith, but through doing certain things. They stumbled over that stone that makes people stumble,

as the Scripture says, "See, I will put a stone on Zion to make people stumble, and a rock to trip over, But no one who has faith in it will be disappointed."

For Christ marks the termination of law, so that now anyone who has faith may attain uprightness.

But this is what the uprightness that springs from faith says: "Do not say to yourself, 'Who will go up to heaven?' " that is, to bring Christ down;

No! This is what it says: "God's message is close to you, on your lips and in your mind"??hat is, the message about faith that we preach.

For the Scripture says, "No one who has faith in him will be disappointed."

So faith comes from hearing what is told, and that hearing comes through the message about Christ.

That is true; but it was for their want of faith that they were broken off, and it is through your faith that you stand where you do. You ought not to feel proud; you ought to be afraid,

By the favor that God has shown me, I would tell every one of you not to think too highly of himself, but to think reasonably, judging himself by the degree of faith God has allowed him.

We have gifts that differ with the favor that God has shown us, whether it is that of preaching, differing with the measure of our faith,

Treat people who are overscrupulous in their faith like brothers; do not criticize their views.

One man's faith allows him to eat anything, while the overscrupulous man eats nothing but vegetables.

For your part, you must keep the faith you have to yourself, as between God and you. He is a happy man who has no fault to find with himself in following the course that he approves,

May God, the source of hope, fill you with perfect happiness and peace in your faith, so that you may have overflowing hope through the power of the holy Spirit.

and at the command of the eternal God made known through the writings of the prophets to all the heathen, to lead them to obedience and faith??27 to the one wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ. Amen.

For since in God's providence the world with all its wisdom did not come to know God, God chose, through the folly of the gospel message, to save those who had faith in him.

so that your faith might rest, not on human philosophy, but on the power of God.

Yet there is a wisdom that we impart when we are with people who have a mature faith, but it is not what this world calls wisdom, nor what the authorities of this world, doomed as they are to pass away, would call so.

What is Apollos? Or what is Paul? Just servants through whom you came to have faith, as the Lord gave each of us opportunity.

another, from his union with the same Spirit receives faith, another, by one and the same Spirit, the ability to cure the sick,
