If that’s how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, won’t He do much more for you—you of little faith?

Hearing this, Jesus was amazed and said to those following Him, “I assure you: I have not found anyone in Israel with so great a faith!

But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, you of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea. And there was a great calm.

Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a mat. Seeing their faith, Jesus told the paralytic, “Have courage, son, your sins are forgiven.”

But Jesus turned and saw her. “Have courage, daughter,” He said. “Your faith has made you well.” And the woman was made well from that moment.

Then He touched their eyes, saying, “Let it be done for you according to your faith!”

Immediately Jesus reached out His hand, caught hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”

Then Jesus replied to her, “Woman, your faith is great. Let it be done for you as you want.” And from that moment her daughter was cured.

Aware of this, Jesus said, “You of little faith! Why are you discussing among yourselves that you do not have bread?

“Because of your little faith,” He told them. “For I assure you: If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.

Jesus answered them, “I assure you: If you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you tell this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will be done.

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You pay a tenth of mint, dill, and cumin, yet you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy, and faith. These things should have been done without neglecting the others.

Seeing their faith, Jesus told the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

Then He said to them, “Why are you fearful? Do you still have no faith?”

“Daughter,” He said to her, “your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be free from your affliction.”

“Go your way,” Jesus told him. “Your faith has healed you.” Immediately he could see and began to follow Him on the road.

Jesus replied to them, “Have faith in God.

Seeing their faith He said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven you.”

Jesus heard this and was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, I have not found so great a faith even in Israel!”

And He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

He said to them, “Where is your faith?”

They were fearful and amazed, asking one another, “Who can this be? He commands even the winds and the waves, and they obey Him!”

“Daughter,” He said to her, “your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”

If that’s how God clothes the grass, which is in the field today and is thrown into the furnace tomorrow, how much more will He do for you—you of little faith?

The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.”

“If you have faith the size of a mustard seed,” the Lord said, “you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.

And He told him, “Get up and go on your way. Your faith has made you well.”

I tell you that He will swiftly grant them justice. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find that faith on earth?”

“Receive your sight!” Jesus told him. “Your faith has healed you.”

But I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

By faith in His name, His name has made this man strong, whom you see and know. So the faith that comes through Him has given him this perfect health in front of all of you.

The proposal pleased the whole company. So they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte from Antioch.

So the preaching about God flourished, the number of the disciples in Jerusalem multiplied greatly, and a large group of priests became obedient to the faith.

for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And large numbers of people were added to the Lord.

But Elymas the sorcerer (this is the meaning of his name) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul away from the faith.

and heard Paul speaking. After observing him closely and seeing that he had faith to be healed,

strengthening the disciples by encouraging them to continue in the faith and by telling them, “It is necessary to pass through many troubles on our way into the kingdom of God.”

After they arrived and gathered the church together, they reported everything God had done with them and that He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.

So the churches were strengthened in the faith and increased in number daily.

I testified to both Jews and Greeks about repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus.

After some days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and listened to him on the subject of faith in Christ Jesus.

to open their eyes so they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that by faith in Me they may receive forgiveness of sins and a share among those who are sanctified.’

We have received grace and apostleship through Him to bring about the obedience of faith among all the nations, on behalf of His name,

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

that is, to be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.

For in it God’s righteousness is revealed from faith to faith, just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith.

—that is, God’s righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ, to all who believe, since there is no distinction.

God presented Him as a propitiation through faith in His blood, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His restraint God passed over the sins previously committed.

God presented Him to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be righteous and declare righteous the one who has faith in Jesus.

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

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

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

Do we then cancel the law through faith? Absolutely not! On the contrary, we uphold the law.

But to the one who does not work, but believes on Him who declares the ungodly to be righteous, his faith is credited for righteousness.

Is this blessing only for the circumcised, then? Or is it also for the uncircumcised? For we say, Faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness.

And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while still uncircumcised. This was to make him the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, so that righteousness may be credited to them also.

And he became the father of the circumcised, who are not only circumcised but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith our father Abraham had while he was still uncircumcised.

For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would inherit the world was not through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.

If those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made empty and the promise is canceled.

This is why the promise is by faith, so that it may be according to grace, to guarantee it to all the descendants—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of Abraham’s faith. He is the father of us all

He considered his own body to be already dead (since he was about 100 years old) and also considered the deadness of Sarah’s womb, without weakening in the faith.

He did not waver in unbelief at God’s promise but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,

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

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

What should we say then? Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained righteousness—namely the righteousness that comes from faith.

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

But the righteousness that comes from faith speaks like this: Do not say in your heart, “Who will go up to heaven?” that is, to bring Christ down

On the contrary, what does it say? The message is near you, in your mouth and in your heart. This is the message of faith that we proclaim:

So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the message about Christ.

True enough; they were broken off by unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.

For by the grace given to me, I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he should think. Instead, think sensibly, as God has distributed a measure of faith to each one.

According to the grace given to us, we have different gifts:

If prophecy,
use it according to the standard of one’s faith;

Accept anyone who is weak in faith, but don’t argue about doubtful issues.

Do you have a conviction? Keep it to yourself before God. The man who does not condemn himself by what he approves is blessed.

But whoever doubts stands condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from a conviction, and everything that is not from a conviction is sin.

but now revealed and made known through the prophetic Scriptures, according to the command of the eternal God to advance the obedience of faith among all nations—

so that your faith might not be based on men’s wisdom but on God’s power.

to another, faith by the same Spirit,
to another, gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

If I have the gift of prophecy
and understand all mysteries
and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith
so that I can move mountains
but do not have love, I am nothing.

Now these three remain:
faith, hope, and love.
But the greatest of these is love.

and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation is without foundation, and so is your faith.

And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.

Be alert, stand firm in the faith, act like a man, be strong.

I do not mean that we have control of your faith, but we are workers with you for your joy, because you stand by faith.

And since we have the same spirit of faith in keeping with what is written, I believed, therefore I spoke, we also believe, and therefore speak.

For we walk by faith, not by sight,

Now as you excel in everything—faith, speech, knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love for us—excel also in this grace.

We are not bragging beyond measure about other people’s labors. But we have the hope that as your faith increases, our area of ministry will be greatly enlarged,

Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith. Examine yourselves. Or do you yourselves not recognize that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless you fail the test.

they simply kept hearing: “He who formerly persecuted us now preaches the faith he once tried to destroy.”

know that no one is justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ. And we have believed in Christ Jesus so that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no human being will be justified.

and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

I only want to learn this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law or by hearing with faith?

So then, does God supply you with the Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law or by hearing with faith?

then understand that those who have faith are Abraham’s sons.

Now the Scripture saw in advance that God would justify the Gentiles by faith and told the good news ahead of time to Abraham, saying, All the nations will be blessed through you.

So those who have faith are blessed with Abraham, who had faith.

Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because the righteous will live by faith.

But the law is not based on faith; instead, the one who does these things will live by them.

The purpose was that the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles by Christ Jesus, so that we could receive the promised Spirit through faith.
