'Faith' in the Bible

And if the herb of the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow is cast to the furnace, God doth so clothe -- not much more you, O ye of little faith?

And Jesus having heard, did wonder, and said to those following, 'Verily I say to you, not even in Israel so great faith have I found;

And he saith to them, 'Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?' Then having risen, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm;

and lo, they were bringing to him a paralytic, laid upon a couch, and Jesus having seen their faith, said to the paralytic, 'Be of good courage, child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'

And Jesus having turned about, and having seen her, said, 'Be of good courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee,' and the woman was saved from that hour.

Then touched he their eyes, saying, 'According to your faith let it be to you,'

And immediately Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, 'Little faith! for what didst thou waver?'

then answering, Jesus said to her, 'O woman, great is thy faith, let it be to thee as thou wilt;' and her daughter was healed from that hour.

And Jesus having known, said to them, 'Why reason ye in yourselves, ye of little faith, because ye took no loaves?

And Jesus said to them, 'Through your want of faith; for verily I say to you, if ye may have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mount, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible to you,

And Jesus answering said to them, 'Verily I say to you, If ye may have faith, and may not doubt, not only this of the fig-tree shall ye do, but even if to this mount ye may say, Be lifted up and be cast into the sea, it shall come to pass;

Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye give tithe of the mint, and the dill, and the cumin, and did neglect the weightier things of the Law -- the judgment, and the kindness, and the faith; these it behoved you to do, and those not to neglect.

and Jesus having seen their faith, saith to the paralytic, 'Child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'

and he said to them, 'Why are ye so fearful? how have ye not faith?'

and he said to her, 'Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go away in peace, and be whole from thy plague.'

and Jesus said to him, 'Go, thy faith hath saved thee:' and immediately he saw again, and was following Jesus in the way.

And Jesus answering saith to them, 'Have faith of God;

and he having seen their faith, said to him, 'Man, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'

And having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and having turned to the multitude following him, he said, 'I say to you, not even in Israel so much faith did I find;'

and he said unto the woman, 'Thy faith have saved thee, be going on to peace.'

and he said to them, 'Where is your faith?' and they being afraid did wonder, saying unto one another, 'Who, then, is this, that even the winds he doth command, and the water, and they obey him?'

and he said to her, 'Take courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee, be going on to peace.'

and if the herbage in the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow into an oven is cast, God doth so clothe, how much more you -- ye of little faith?

And the apostles said to the Lord, 'Add to us faith;'

and the Lord said, 'If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye would have said to this sycamine, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.

and he said to him, 'Having risen, be going on, thy faith hath saved thee.'

I say to you, that He will execute the justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, shall he find the faith upon the earth?'

And Jesus said to him, 'Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee;'

and I besought for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and thou, when thou didst turn, strengthen thy brethren.'

and on the faith of his name, this one whom ye see and have known, his name made strong, even the faith that is through him did give to him this perfect soundness before you all.

And the thing was pleasing before all the multitude, and they did choose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch,

And the word of God did increase, and the number of the disciples did multiply in Jerusalem exceedingly; a great multitude also of the priests were obedient to the faith.

And Stephen, full of faith and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people,

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

and there withstood them Elymas the magian -- for so is his name interpreted -- seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith.

this one was hearing Paul speaking, who, having stedfastly beheld him, and having seen that he hath faith to be saved,

confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting to remain in the faith, and that through many tribulations it behoveth us to enter into the reign of God,

and having come and gathered together the assembly, they declared as many things as God did with them, and that He did open to the nations a door of faith;

and did put no difference also between us and them, by the faith having purified their hearts;

then, indeed, were the assemblies established in the faith, and were abounding in number every day;

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

And after certain days, Felix having come with Drusilla his wife, being a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith toward Christ,

to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of the Adversary unto God, for their receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having been sanctified, by faith that is toward me.

through whom we did receive grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name;

first, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world;

and that is, that I may be comforted together among you, through the faith in one another, both yours and mine.

For the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it hath been written, 'And the righteous one by faith shall live,'

and the righteousness of God is through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, -- for there is no difference,

whom God did set forth a mercy seat, through the faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the bygone sins in the forbearance of God --

for the shewing forth of His righteousness in the present time, for His being righteous, and declaring him righteous who is of the faith of Jesus.

Where then is the boasting? it was excluded; by what law? of works? no, but by a law of faith:

therefore do we reckon a man to be declared righteous by faith, apart from works of law.

yes, also of nations; since one is God who shall declare righteous the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through the faith.

Law then do we make useless through the faith? let it not be! yea, we do establish law.

and to him who is not working, and is believing upon Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned -- to righteousness:

Is this happiness, then, upon the circumcision, or also upon the uncircumcision -- for we say that the faith was reckoned to Abraham -- to righteousness?

and a sign he did receive of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them,

and father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of the faith, that is in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.

For not through law is the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith;

for if they who are of law are heirs, the faith hath been made void, and the promise hath been made useless;

Because of this it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which is of the law only, but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham,

and not having been weak in the faith, he did not consider his own body, already become dead, (being about a hundred years old,) and the deadness of Sarah's womb,

and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God,

Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

through whom also we have the access by the faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast on the hope of the glory of God.

What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that is of faith,

wherefore? because -- not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling,

and the righteousness of faith doth thus speak: 'Thou mayest not say in thine heart, Who shall go up to the heaven,' that is, Christ to bring down?

But what doth it say? 'Nigh thee is the saying -- in thy mouth, and in thy heart:' that is, the saying of the faith, that we preach;

so then the faith is by a report, and the report through a saying of God,

by unbelief they were broken off, and thou hast stood by faith; be not high-minded, but be fearing;

For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal a measure of faith,

And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy -- 'According to the proportion of faith!'

And him who is weak in the faith receive ye -- not to determinations of reasonings;

Thou hast faith! to thyself have it before God; happy is he who is not judging himself in what he doth approve,

and he who is making a difference, if he may eat, hath been condemned, because it is not of faith; and all that is not of faith is sin.

and now having been made manifest, also, through prophetic writings, according to a command of the age-during God, having been made known to all the nations for obedience of faith --

that your faith may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

and to another faith in the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings in the same Spirit;

and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing;

and now there doth remain faith, hope, love -- these three; and the greatest of these is love.

and if Christ hath not risen, then void is our preaching, and void also your faith,

and if Christ hath not risen, vain is your faith, ye are yet in your sins;

Watch ye, stand in the faith; be men, be strong;

not that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers together with your joy, for by the faith ye stand.

And having the same spirit of the faith, according to that which hath been written, 'I believed, therefore I did speak;' we also do believe, therefore also do we speak;

for through faith we walk, not through sight --

but even as in every thing ye do abound, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us, that also in this grace ye may abound;

not boasting of the things not measured, in other men's labours, and having hope -- your faith increasing -- in you to be enlarged, according to our line -- into abundance,

Your own selves try ye, if ye are in the faith; your own selves prove ye; do ye not know your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, if ye be not in some respect disapproved of?

and only they were hearing, that 'he who is persecuting us then, doth now proclaim good news -- the faith that then he was wasting;'

having known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.'

with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh -- in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;

this only do I wish to learn from you -- by works of law the Spirit did ye receive, or by the hearing of faith?

He, therefore, who is supplying to you the Spirit, and working mighty acts among you -- by works of law or by the hearing of faith is it?

know ye, then, that those of faith -- these are sons of Abraham,

and the Writing having foreseen that by faith God doth declare righteous the nations did proclaim before the good news to Abraham --

'Blessed in thee shall be all the nations;' so that those of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham,

and that in law no one is declared righteous with God, is evident, because 'The righteous by faith shall live;'

and the law is not by faith, but -- 'The man who did them shall live in them.'
