Faith

And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith.

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

Be on the alert. Stand firm in the faith. Be men of courage. Be strong.

Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are fellow workers with you for your joy, because it is by faith that you stand firm.

Not that we lord it over your faith, but we are fellow workers with you for your joy, because it is by faith that you stand firm.

And in keeping with what is written, “I believed, therefore I have spoken,” we who have the same spirit of faith also believe and therefore speak,

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

But just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness, and in the love we inspired in you—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.

Neither do we boast beyond our limits in the labors of others. But we hope that as your faith increases, our area of influence among you will greatly increase as well,

Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you—unless you fail the test?

They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”

…know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

…know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

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

I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?

Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham.

The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”

So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

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

The law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.”

He redeemed us in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.

But the Scripture pronounces all things confined by sin, so that by faith in Jesus Christ the promise might be given to those who believe.

Before this faith came, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until faith should be revealed.

Before this faith came, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until faith should be revealed.

So the law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

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

You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the hope of righteousness.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. What matters is faith expressing itself through love.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to the family of faith.

For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

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

In Him and through faith in Him we may enter God’s presence with boldness and confidence.

…so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Then you, being rooted and grounded in love,

…one Lord, one faith, one baptism;

…until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ.

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

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

Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,

Nevertheless, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending together as one 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 with all of you.

…and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God on the basis of faith.

…and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God on the basis of faith.

…because we have heard about your faith in Christ Jesus and your love for all the saints—

…the faith and love proceeding from the hope stored up for you in heaven, of which you have already heard in the word of truth, the gospel

…if indeed you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope of the gospel you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.

For although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I delight to see your orderly condition and firm faith in Christ.

…rooted and built up in Him, established in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

And having been buried with Him in baptism, you were raised with Him through your faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.

…and continually recalling before our God and Father your work of faith, your labor of love, and your enduring hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

For not only did the message of the Lord ring out from you to Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone out to every place, so that we have no need to say anything more.

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

For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to find out about your faith, for fear that the tempter had somehow tempted you and that our labor might have been in vain.

But just now, Timothy has returned from his visit with the good news about your faith, your love, and the fond memories you have preserved, longing to see us just as we long to see you.

For this reason, brothers, in all our distress and persecution, we have been reassured about you, because of your faith.

Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking in your faith.

But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and the helmet of our hope of salvation.

We are obligated to thank God for you all the time, brothers, as is fitting, because your faith is growing more and more, and your love for one another is increasing.

That is why we boast among God’s churches about your perseverance and faith in the face of all the persecution and affliction you are enduring.

To this end, we always pray for you, that our God will count you worthy of His calling, and that He will powerfully fulfill your every good desire and work of faith,

But we should always thank God for you, brothers who are loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning to be saved by the sanctification of the Spirit and by faith in the truth.

And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for not everyone holds to the faith.

To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

…or devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculation rather than the stewardship of God’s work, which is by faith.

The goal of our instruction is the love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a sincere faith.

And the grace of our Lord overflowed to me, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

…holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and thereby shipwrecked their faith.

…holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and thereby shipwrecked their faith.

Women, however, will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.

They must hold to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.

For those who have served well as deacons acquire for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons,

By pointing out these things to the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words of faith and sound instruction that you have followed.

Let no one despise your youth, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

…and thus will incur judgment because they are setting aside their first faith.

For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

But you, O man of God, flee from these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.

Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made the good confession before many witnesses.

…which some have professed and thus swerved away from the faith. Grace be with you all.

I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am convinced is in you as well.

Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching you have heard from me, with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

…who have deviated from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already occurred, and they undermine the faith of some.

Flee from youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, together with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth. They are depraved in mind and disqualified from the faith.

You, however, have observed my teaching, my conduct, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my perseverance,

From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness,

To Titus, my true child in our common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sternly, so that they will be sound in the faith

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

…not stealing from them, but showing all good faith, so that in every respect they will adorn the teaching about God our Savior.

All who are with me send you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with all of you.

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

I pray that your partnership in the faith may become effective as you fully acknowledge every good thing that is ours in Christ.

For we also received the good news just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, since they did not share the faith of those who comprehended it.

Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith in God,

Then you will not be sluggish, but will imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
