For he douted not in the promes of God thorow vnbeleue, but was stroge in faith, and gaue God the prayse:

Because therfore that we are iustified by faith, we haue peace with God thorow oure LORDE Iesus Christ

by who also we haue an intraunce in faith vnto this grace, wherin we stonde, & reioyse in the hope of ye glorye for to come, which God shal geue.

What shal we saye then? This wil we saye: The Heythen which folowed not righteousnes, haue ouertaken righteousnes: but I speake of the righteousnes that commeth of faith.

Why so? Euen because they soughte it not out of faith, but as it were out of the deseruynge of workes. For they haue stombled at the stomblinge stone.

But ye righteousnes which cometh of faith, speaketh on this wyse: Saye not in thine hert: Who wil go vp in to heaue? (that is nothinge els then to fetch Christ downe)

But what sayeth the scripture? The worde is nye the, euen in thy mouth and in thine hert. This is ye worde of faith yt we preach.

So the faith cometh by hearynge, but hearinge cometh by the worde of God.

But he that maketh conscience of it and yet eateth, is dampned: because he doth it not of faith. For what so euer is not of faith, that same is synne.

but now is opened, & shewed by the scriptures of ye prophetes, at the comaundemet of the euerlastinge God, to set vp ye obediece of the faith amonge all Heythen:

that youre faith shulde not stonde in the wyssdome of men, but in the power of God.

to another, faith in the same sprete: to another, the giftes of healinge in the same sprete:

And though I coulde prophecy, & vnderstode all secretes, and all knowlege, and had all faith, so that I coulde moue moutaynes out of their places, and yet had not loue, I were nothinge.

Now abydeth faith, hope, loue, these thre: but the greatest of these is loue.

Yf Christ be not rysen, then is oure preachinge in vayne,and youre faith is also in vayne:

But yf Christ be not rysen agayne, then is youre faith in vayne, and ye are yet in youre synnes:
