'Believe' in the Bible

a righteousness coming from God, which depends on faith in Jesus Christ and extends to all who believe. No distinction is made;

with a view to demonstrating, at the present time, His righteousness, that He may be shown to be righteous Himself, and the giver of righteousness to those who believe in Jesus.

Before, not after. And he received circumcision as a sign, a mark attesting the reality of the faith-righteousness which was his while still uncircumcised, that he might be the forefather of all those who believe even though they are uncircumcised--in order that this righteousness might be placed to their credit;

But, seeing that we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him;

that if with your mouth you confess Jesus as Lord and in your heart believe that God brought Him back to life, you shall be saved.

For with the heart men believe and obtain righteousness, and with the mouth they make confession and obtain salvation.

But how are they to call on One in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in One whose voice they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher?
