"If God then so clothes the grass of the field, which blooms today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, you of little faith?

As Jesus listened to this reply he was astonished, and said to those who followed him. "In solemn truth I tell you that I have found faith like this in any Israelite.

"Why are you afraid?" he said, "you men of little faith!" Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there came a great calm.

And here they brought to him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic, "Courage, son, your sins are forgiven."

But Jesus turned and saw her and said, "Be of good courage, daughter, your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that hour.

Then he touched their eyes, saying "According to your faith be it unto you," and their eyes were opened.

And he did no mighty works there, because of their lack of faith.

At once Jesus stretched out his hand and caught hold of him, saying to him. "O little faith! What made you doubt?"

Then Jesus answered her. "O woman, great is your faith. It shall be for you even as you desire." And from that hour her daughter was healed.

When Jesus knew it he said: "Weaklings in faith! Why are you arguing among yourselves, because you have no bread?

"Because of your little faith," he answered. "In solemn truth I tell you that if you have faith the size of a mustard-seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from this place to that!' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.

In reply Jesus said to them, "In solemn truth I tell you that if you have faith and never doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Up, cast yourself into the sea!' it shall be done;

"Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and anise and cummin, and neglect the weightier matters of the Law??ustice and mercy and good faith; these latter you ought to have done, and not to have left the former undone.

Then Jesus, when he perceived their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son your sins are forgiven."

The wind fell, and there ensued a great calm. Then he said to them. "Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?"

"Daughter," he said, "your faith has saved you. Go in peace, and be cured of your complaint."

And he wondered at their lack of faith. So he went among the neighboring villages, teaching.

"Go," said Jesus, "your own faith has saved you," and immediately he received his sight, and began to follow Jesus along the road.

Afterward he appeared to the Eleven themselves, as they were eating, and reproached them for their lack of faith, and stubborn hearts, because they disbelieved those who had seen him risen.

When Jesus saw their faith, he said to him, "Man, your sins are forgiven you!"

But when Jesus heard this he was astonished and he turned and said to the crowd that was following him, "I tell you that not even in Israel have I found faith like that."

But he said to the woman. "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."

"Where is your faith?" he asked them, In their terror they were filled with amazement, and said to one another, "Who is this who commands even the winds and the sea, and they obey him?"

"Daughter," he said "your faith has made you well, go on into peace."

"Now if God so clothe the grass in the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"

"If your faith," answered Jesus, "were like a grain of mustard-seed, you would say to this tree, 'Tear yourself up and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

And he said unto him, "Rise and go, your faith has healed you."

"I tell you that he will quickly see justice done to his elect! Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he find faith upon the earth?"

"Receive your sight," said Jesus, "your faith has saved you."

"But I made supplication for you that your own faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned again, must strengthen your brothers."

"And his name, on the ground of faith in his name, has made strong this man, whom you now see and know; yes, the faith that is through him has made this man sound and strong again, in the presence of you all.

This plan commended itself to the whole body, and they selected Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch.

And the word of the Lord continued to spread; and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was increasing exceedingly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.

for he was a good man, and full of faith and the Holy Spirit. And a great multitude was added to the Lord.

But Elymas, "the sorcerer," for that is the translation of his name, opposed them, and tried to divert the proconsul from the faith.

He was listening while Paul was preaching, and Paul, looking intently at him, and perceiving that he had faith to be made whole,

Everywhere they strengthened the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to hold to the faith. "It is through many tribulations," they said, "that we must enter into the kingdom of God."

On their arrival they assembled the church and reported all things that God had done through them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.

"and he made no distinction between us and them, in cleansing their hearts by faith.

So the churches were strengthened in the faith and continued to increase in number daily.

testifying both to Jews and Greeks repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

Some days later Felix came, with his wife Drusilla, a Jewess; he sent for Paul, and listened to him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.

"'so that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, in order to receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'

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.

in order that your faith should rest, not on human philosophy, but on the power of God.

to one man by the same Spirit is given faith, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit;

Though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

Faith, Hope, Love endure??hese three; but the greatest of these is Love.

and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, and vain also is your faith.

and if Christ be not risen, your faith is vain, you are still in your sins.

Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, be manly, be strong.

(not that I am attempting to lord it over your faith, but rather to work with you for your happiness); for your faith is stedfast.

But having the same spirit of faith of which it is written, I believed, and therefore have spoken, I also believe and so I speak.

for I am walking by faith, not by sight.

Great is my faith in you; great is my cheerful assurance in you. I am filled with comfort; in spite of all my troubles, my heart is overflowing with joy.

Now then, as you excel in everything, in faith and utterance and knowledge and all zeal and in your love to me, see to it that you excel in this grace also.

I am not "boasting beyond measure in the labors of others," but it is my hope that, as your faith goes on increasing among yourselves, by the enlargement of my appointed limits,

Examine yourselves to see if you are in the faith; put your own selves to the proof. Or do you not know, your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed you fail to abide the proof?

only they used to hear it said, "He who was once persecuting us is now preaching the gospel of the very faith which he once tried to ruin."

"yet because we know that no man is justified by the works of the Law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we ourselves also have put our faith in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the Law; for "By the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified."

I have been crucified with Christ, so it is no longer I who am living, but it is Christ who is living in me; and the life I am now living in the flesh, I am living in faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me.

Notice then that the true sons of Abraham are children of faith.

And the Scripture, anticipating God's justification of the Gentiles by faith, announced the gospel to Abraham beforehand in the words, In thee shall all the Gentiles be blessed.
