But the law is not based on faith, but the one who does the works of the law will live by them.

in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles, so that we could receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.

Now before faith came we were held in custody under the law, being kept as prisoners until the coming faith would be revealed.

Thus the law had become our guardian until Christ, so that we could be declared righteous by faith.

But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.

For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith.

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

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision carries any weight -- the only thing that matters is faith working through love.

So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who belong to the family of faith.

For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God;

that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, so that, because you have been rooted and grounded in love,

one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God -- a mature person, attaining to the measure of Christ's full stature.

and in all of this, by taking up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

Peace to the brothers and sisters, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

And since I am sure of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for the sake of your progress and joy in the faith,

Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ so that -- whether I come and see you or whether I remain absent -- I should hear that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind, by contending side by side for the faith of the gospel,

But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice together with all of you.

since we heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and the love that you have for all the saints.

Your faith and love have arisen from the hope laid up for you in heaven, which you have heard about in the message of truth, the gospel

if indeed you remain in the faith, established and firm, without shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard. This gospel has also been preached in all creation under heaven, and I, Paul, have become its servant.

For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your morale and the firmness of your faith in Christ.

rooted and built up in him and firm in your faith just as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

Having been buried with him in baptism, you also have been raised with him through your faith in the power of God who raised him from the dead.

because we recall in the presence of our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

For from you the message of the Lord has echoed forth not just in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place reports of your faith in God have spread, so that we do not need to say anything.

We sent Timothy, our brother and fellow worker for God in the gospel of Christ, to strengthen you and encourage you about your faith,

So when I could bear it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter somehow tempted you and our toil had proven useless.

But now Timothy has come to us from you and given us the good news of your faith and love and that you always think of us with affection and long to see us just as we also long to see you!

So in all our distress and affliction, we were reassured about you, brothers and sisters, through your faith.

We pray earnestly night and day to see you in person and make up what may be lacking in your faith.

But since we are of the day, we must stay sober by putting on the breastplate of faith and love and as a helmet our hope for salvation.

We ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith flourishes more and more and the love of each one of you all for one another is ever greater.

As a result we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and afflictions you are enduring.

And in this regard we pray for you always, that our God will make you worthy of his calling and fulfill by his power your every desire for goodness and every work of faith,

But we ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.

and that we may be delivered from perverse and evil people. For not all have faith.

to Timothy, my genuine child in the faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!

nor to occupy themselves with myths and interminable genealogies. Such things promote useless speculations rather than God's redemptive plan that operates by faith.

But the aim of our instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith.

and our Lord's grace was abundant, bringing faith and love in Christ Jesus.

To do this you must hold firmly to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck in regard to the faith.

For this I was appointed a preacher and apostle -- I am telling the truth; I am not lying -- and a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

But she will be delivered through childbearing, if she continues in faith and love and holiness with self-control.

And he must be well thought of by those outside the faith, so that he may not fall into disgrace and be caught by the devil's trap.

holding to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.

For those who have served well as deacons gain a good standing for themselves and great boldness in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

Now the Spirit explicitly says that in the later times some will desert the faith and occupy themselves with deceiving spirits and demonic teachings,

By pointing out such things to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, having nourished yourself on the words of the faith and of the good teaching that you have followed.

But if someone does not provide for his own, especially his own family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

For the love of money is the root of all evils. Some people in reaching for it have strayed from the faith and stabbed themselves with many pains.

Compete well for the faith and lay hold of that eternal life you were called for and made your good confession for in the presence of many witnesses.

By professing it, some have strayed from the faith. Grace be with you all.

I recall your sincere faith that was alive first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and I am sure is in you.

Because of this, in fact, I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, because I know the one in whom my faith is set and I am convinced that he is able to protect what has been entrusted to me until that day.

Hold to the standard of sound words that you heard from me and do so with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

They have strayed from the truth by saying that the resurrection has already occurred, and they are undermining some people's faith.

And just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these people -- who have warped minds and are disqualified in the faith -- also oppose the truth.

You, however, have followed my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my endurance,

and how from infancy you have known the holy writings, which are able to give you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith!

From Paul, a slave of God and apostle of Jesus Christ, to further the faith of God's chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth that is in keeping with godliness,

To Titus, my genuine son in a common faith. Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior!

Such testimony is true. For this reason rebuke them sharply that they may be healthy in the faith

Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in endurance.

not pilfering, but showing all good faith, in order to bring credit to the teaching of God our Savior in everything.

This saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on such truths, so that those who have placed their faith in God may be intent on engaging in good works. These things are good and beneficial for all people.

Everyone with me greets you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.

because I hear of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints.

I pray that the faith you share with us may deepen your understanding of every blessing that belongs to you in Christ.

For we had good news proclaimed to us just as they did. But the message they heard did them no good, since they did not join in with those who heard it in faith.

Therefore we must progress beyond the elementary instructions about Christ and move on to maturity, not laying this foundation again: repentance from dead works and faith in God,

so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and perseverance inherit the promises.

let us draw near with a sincere heart in the assurance that faith brings, because we have had our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed in pure water.

But my righteous one will live by faith, and if he shrinks back, I take no pleasure in him.

But we are not among those who shrink back and thus perish, but are among those who have faith and preserve their souls.

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, being convinced of what we do not see.

By faith we understand that the worlds were set in order at God's command, so that the visible has its origin in the invisible.

By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death, and he was not to be found because God took him up. For before his removal he had been commended as having pleased God.

Now without faith it is impossible to please him, for the one who approaches God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.

By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place he would later receive as an inheritance, and he went out without understanding where he was going.

By faith he lived as a foreigner in the promised land as though it were a foreign country, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who were fellow heirs of the same promise.

By faith, even though Sarah herself was barren and he was too old, he received the ability to procreate, because he regarded the one who had given the promise to be trustworthy.

These all died in faith without receiving the things promised, but they saw them in the distance and welcomed them and acknowledged that they were strangers and foreigners on the earth.

By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac. He had received the promises, yet he was ready to offer up his only son.

By faith also Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning the future.

By faith Jacob, as he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshiped as he leaned on his staff.

By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, mentioned the exodus of the sons of Israel and gave instructions about his burial.

By faith, when Moses was born, his parents hid him for three months, because they saw the child was beautiful and they were not afraid of the king's edict.

By faith, when he grew up, Moses refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,

By faith he left Egypt without fearing the king's anger, for he persevered as though he could see the one who is invisible.

By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that the one who destroyed the firstborn would not touch them.

And these all were commended for their faith, yet they did not receive what was promised.
