Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;

Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the "stumbling stone."

But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?' " (that is, to bring Christ down)

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

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.

Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.

For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.

We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith.

Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters.

One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.

But the man who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin.
