Faith

16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to everyone who believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17For therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous shall live by faith."

16But they didn`t all listen to the glad news. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"

17So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

8But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart;" that is, the word of faith, which we preach:

9that if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

10For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11For the scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."

27Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what manner of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.

28We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

29Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn`t he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,

30if it is so that God is one. He will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.

31Do we then make the law of no effect through faith? Certainly not! No, we establish the law.

18Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, "So will your seed be."

19Without being weakened in faith, he didn`t consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah`s womb.

20Yet, looking to the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,

21and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

22Therefore also it was "reckoned to him for righteousness."

3For what does the scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."

4Now to him who works, the reward is not accounted as of grace, but as of debt.

5But to him who doesn`t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.

1Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

2through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

30What will we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn`t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;

31but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn`t arrive at the law of righteousness.

32Why? Because they didn`t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;

33even as it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. And no one who believes in him will be put to shame."
