But if he has doubts about the food he eats, God says he is guilty when he eats it. It is because he is eating without faith. Anything that is not done in faith is sin.

We who have strong faith should help those who are weak. We should not live to please ourselves.

Each of us should live to please his neighbor. This will help him grow in faith.

In this way, you do not have faith in Christ because of the wisdom of men. You have faith in Christ because of the power of God.

But if someone says, "This meat has been given as a gift to false gods in worship," do not eat it. In that way, it will not hurt the faith of the one who told you and his heart will have peace.

One person receives the gift of faith. Another person receives the gifts of healing. These gifts are given by the same Holy Spirit.

If I have the gift of speaking God's Word and if I understand all secrets, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I know all things and if I have the gift of faith so I can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

And now we have these three: faith and hope and love, but the greatest of these is love.

Christian brothers, I want to tell the Good News to you again. It is the same as I preached to you before. You received it and your faith has been made strong by it.

This is what I preached to you. You are saved from the punishment of sin by the Good News if you keep hold of it, unless your faith was worth nothing.

If Christ was not raised from the dead, then what we preach to you is worth nothing. Your faith in Christ is worth nothing.

If Christ was not raised from the dead, your faith is worth nothing and you are still living in your sins.

God is the One Who makes our faith and your faith strong in Christ. He has set us apart for Himself.

We are not the boss of your faith but we are working with you to make you happy. Your faith is strong.

We can say these things because of our faith in God through Christ.

The Holy Writings say, "I believed, so I spoke." We have the same kind of faith as David had. We also believe, so we speak.

Our life is lived by faith. We do not live by what we see in front of us.

You are rich in everything. You have faith. You can preach. You have much learning. You have a strong desire to help. And you have love for us. Now do what you should about giving also.

We are sending another Christian brother with them. We have tested him many times. His faith has proven to be true. He wants very much to help because he trusts you.

We take no pride in the work others have done there. But we hope your faith will keep growing because of help from others. Then we will grow because of you.
