THEREFORE, being justified by faith, let us have peace with God through our LORD Jesus Christ;

Through him we have been brought by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and are proud in the hope of the glory of God.

What shall we say then? That the Gentiles who followed not after righteousness have attained to righteousness; that is, the righteousness which is the result of faith.

Why? Because it was not sought by faith, but by the works of the law. So they stumbled at that stumbling-stone.

But the righteousness which is of faith, says thus: Do not say in your heart, Who has ascended to heaven, and brought Christ down to earth?

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

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

Well; they were cut off because of their unbelief, but you exist by faith. Be not highminded, but fear God.

For I say, through the grace which is given to me, to all of you, not to think of yourselves beyond what you ought to think; but to think soberly, every man according to the measure of faith which God has distributed to him.

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us; some have the gift of prophecy, according to the measure of faith,

He who is weak in the faith, assist him. And be consistent in your reasoning.

For he who is doubtful and eats, violates his beliefs: for whatever is not of faith, is sin. The strong must help the weak.

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace so that by faith you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

But now is made manifest by the scriptures of the prophets; and by the command of the eternal God, and is made known to all the peoples for the obedience of faith:

So that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

To another faith by the same Spirit; to another gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love in my heart, I am nothing.

And now abides faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. *

And if Christ is not risen, then is our preaching in vain, and your faith is also in vain;

Watch, stand firm in the faith, quit you like men, be valiant, be strong.
