Who by faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

And all these having obtained a good testimony thro' faith,

Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which easily besetteth us, and run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith;

Remember them that had the rule over you, who spake to you the word of God, whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.

My brethren, count it all joy, when ye fall into divers temptations, Knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like a wave of the sea, driven with the wind and tossed.

My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. For if there come into your assembly a man with a gold ring,

Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom, which he hath promised to them that love him?

What doth it profit, my brethren, tho' a man say he hath faith, and have not works?

Can that faith save him? If a brother or a sister be naked,

So likewise faith, if it hath not works, is dead in itself.

But one will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works. Shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

But art thou willing to know, O empty man, that faith without works is dead?

Thou seest that faith wrought together with his works, and by works was faith made perfect.

Ye see then, that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

Therefore as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

Who are kept by the power of God thro' faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time.

That the trial of your faith, which is much more precious than gold, (that perisheth, tho' it be tried with fire) may be found unto praise, and honour, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

Whom having not seen, ye love: in whom tho' ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory, Receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
