`-- so that they believe that Jehovah, God of their fathers, hath appeared unto thee, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.'

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Until when doth this people despise Me? and until when do they not believe in Me, for all the signs which I have done in its midst?

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, and unto Aaron, `Because ye have not believed in Me to sanctify Me before the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore ye do not bring in this assembly unto the land which I have given to them.'

And Achish believeth in David, saying, `He hath made himself utterly abhorred among his people, in Israel, and hath been to me for a servant age-during.'

And by his hand [are] Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shechaniah, in cities of the priests, faithfully to give to their brethren in courses, as the great so the small,

and to the genealogy among all their infants, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters to all the congregation, for in their faithfulness they sanctify themselves in holiness.

And the men are working faithfully in the business, and over them are appointed Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathite, to overlook; and of the Levites, every one understanding about instruments of song,

Though I had called and He answereth me, I do not believe that He giveth ear [to] my voice.

He believeth not to return from darkness, And watched [is] he for the sword.

And hath drawn the mighty by his power, He riseth, and none believeth in life.

Trust in Jehovah, and do good, Dwell [in] the land, and enjoy faithfulness,

Thy righteousness I have not concealed In the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation I have told, I have not hidden Thy kindness and Thy truth, To the great assembly.

For they have not believed in God, Nor have they trusted in His salvation.

With all this they have sinned again, And have not believed in His wonders.

Is Thy kindness recounted in the grave? Thy faithfulness in destruction?

An instruction, by Ethan the Ezrahite. Of the kind acts of Jehovah, to the age I sing, To all generations I make known Thy faithfulness with my mouth,

To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.

Before Jehovah, for He hath come, For He hath come to judge the earth. He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness!

Mine eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoso is walking in a perfect way, he serveth me.

The goodness of reason and knowledge teach me, For in Thy commands I have believed.

There is none calling in righteousness, And there is none pleading in faithfulness, Trusting on emptiness, and speaking falsehood, Conceiving perverseness, and bearing iniquity.

And betrothed thee to Me in faithfulness, And thou hast known Jehovah.

Compassed Me with feigning hath Ephraim, And with deceit the house of Israel. And Judah again is ruling with God, And with the Holy Ones [is] faithful!

`And if the herb of the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow is cast to the furnace, God doth so clothe -- not much more you, O ye of little faith?

And Jesus having heard, did wonder, and said to those following, `Verily I say to you, not even in Israel so great faith have I found;

And Jesus said to the centurion, `Go, and as thou didst believe let it be to thee;' and his young man was healed in that hour.

And he saith to them, `Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?' Then having risen, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm;

and lo, they were bringing to him a paralytic, laid upon a couch, and Jesus having seen their faith, said to the paralytic, `Be of good courage, child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'

And Jesus having turned about, and having seen her, said, `Be of good courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee,' and the woman was saved from that hour.

And he having come to the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus saith to them, `Believe ye that I am able to do this?' They say to him, `Yes, sir.'

Then touched he their eyes, saying, `According to your faith let it be to you,'

And immediately Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, `Little faith! for what didst thou waver?'

then answering, Jesus said to her, `O woman, great [is] thy faith, let it be to thee as thou wilt;' and her daughter was healed from that hour.

And Jesus having known, said to them, `Why reason ye in yourselves, ye of little faith, because ye took no loaves?

And Jesus said to them, `Through your want of faith; for verily I say to you, if ye may have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mount, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible to you,

and whoever may cause to stumble one of those little ones who are believing in me, it is better for him that a weighty millstone may be hanged upon his neck, and he may be sunk in the depth of the sea.

And Jesus answering said to them, `Verily I say to you, If ye may have faith, and may not doubt, not only this of the fig-tree shall ye do, but even if to this mount ye may say, Be lifted up and be cast into the sea, it shall come to pass;

and all -- as much as ye may ask in the prayer, believing, ye shall receive.'

the baptism of John, whence was it? -- from heaven, or from men?' And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, `If we should say, From heaven; he will say to us, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?

for John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye did not believe him, and the tax-gatherers and the harlots did believe him, and ye, having seen, repented not at last -- to believe him.

`Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye give tithe of the mint, and the dill, and the cumin, and did neglect the weightier things of the Law -- the judgment, and the kindness, and the faith; these it behoved [you] to do, and those not to neglect.

`Then if any one may say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ! or here! ye may not believe;

`If therefore they may say to you, Lo, in the wilderness he is, ye may not go forth; lo, in the inner chambers, ye may not believe;

`Who, then, is the servant, faithful and wise, whom his lord did set over his household, to give them the nourishment in season?

`And his lord said to him, Well done, servant, good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many things I will set thee; enter into the joy of thy lord.

`His lord said to him, Well done, servant, good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many things I will set thee; enter into the joy of thy lord.

`Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him;

and saying -- `Fulfilled hath been the time, and the reign of God hath come nigh, reform ye, and believe in the good news.'

and Jesus having seen their faith, saith to the paralytic, `Child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'

and he said to them, `Why are ye so fearful? how have ye not faith?'

and he said to her, `Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go away in peace, and be whole from thy plague.'

And Jesus immediately, having heard the word that is spoken, saith to the chief of the synagogue, `Be not afraid, only believe.'

And Jesus said to him, `If thou art able to believe! all things are possible to the one that is believing;'

and immediately the father of the child, having cried out, with tears said, `I believe, sir; be helping mine unbelief.'

and whoever may cause to stumble one of the little ones believing in me, better is it for him if a millstone is hanged about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea.

and Jesus said to him, `Go, thy faith hath saved thee:' and immediately he saw again, and was following Jesus in the way.

And Jesus answering saith to them, `Have faith of God;

for verily I say to you, that whoever may say to this mount, Be taken up, and be cast into the sea, and may not doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things that he saith do come to pass, it shall be to him whatever he may say.

Because of this I say to you, all whatever -- praying -- ye do ask, believe that ye receive, and it shall be to you.

And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, `If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?

`And then, if any may say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ, or, Lo, there, ye may not believe;

The Christ! the king of Israel -- let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;' and those crucified with him were reproaching him.

and they, having heard that he is alive, and was seen by her, did not believe.

and they having gone, told to the rest; not even them did they believe.

Afterwards, as they are reclining (at meat), he was manifested to the eleven, and did reproach their unbelief and stiffness of heart, because they believed not those having seen him being raised;

he who hath believed, and hath been baptized, shall be saved; and he who hath not believed, shall be condemned.

`And signs shall accompany those believing these things; in my name demons they shall cast out; with new tongues they shall speak;

and lo, thou shalt be silent, and not able to speak, till the day that these things shall come to pass, because thou didst not believe my words, that shall be fulfilled in their season.'

and happy [is] she who did believe, for there shall be a completion to the things spoken to her from the Lord.'

and he having seen their faith, said to him, `Man, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'

And having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and having turned to the multitude following him, he said, `I say to you, not even in Israel so much faith did I find;'

and he said unto the woman, `Thy faith have saved thee, be going on to peace.'

and those beside the way are those hearing, then cometh the Devil, and taketh up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved.

`And those upon the rock: They who, when they may hear, with joy do receive the word, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

and he said to them, `Where is your faith?' and they being afraid did wonder, saying unto one another, `Who, then, is this, that even the winds he doth command, and the water, and they obey him?'

and he said to her, `Take courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee, be going on to peace.'

and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, `Be not afraid, only believe, and she shall be saved.'

and if the herbage in the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow into an oven is cast, God doth so clothe, how much more you -- ye of little faith?

And the Lord said, `Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the lord shall set over his household, to give in season the wheat measure?

`He who is faithful in the least, [is] also faithful in much; and he who in the least [is] unrighteous, is also unrighteous in much;

if, then, in the unrighteous mammon ye became not faithful -- the true who will entrust to you?

and if in the other's ye became not faithful -- your own, who shall give to you?

And the apostles said to the Lord, `Add to us faith;'

and the Lord said, `If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye would have said to this sycamine, Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you.

and he said to him, `Having risen, be going on, thy faith hath saved thee.'

I say to you, that He will execute the justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, shall he find the faith upon the earth?'

And Jesus said to him, `Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee;'

and he said to him, Well done, good servant, because in a very little thou didst become faithful, be having authority over ten cities.

And they reasoned with themselves, saying -- `If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?

and I besought for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and thou, when thou didst turn, strengthen thy brethren.'

saying, `If thou be the Christ, tell us.' And he said to them, `If I may tell you, ye will not believe;

and their sayings appeared before them as idle talk, and they were not believing them.

And he said unto them, `O inconsiderate and slow in heart, to believe on all that the prophets spake!

and while they are not believing from the joy, and wondering, he said to them, `Have ye anything here to eat?'

this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;

but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God -- to those believing in his name,

Jesus answered and said to him, `Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, thou dost believe; greater things than these thou shalt see;'

This beginning of the signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him;

when, then, he was raised out of the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this to them, and they believed the Writing, and the word that Jesus said.

And as he was in Jerusalem, in the passover, in the feast, many believed in his name, beholding his signs that he was doing;

if the earthly things I said to you, and ye do not believe, how, if I shall say to you the heavenly things, will ye believe?

that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during,

for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

he who is believing in him is not judged, but he who is not believing hath been judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

he who is believing in the Son, hath life age-during; and he who is not believing the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God doth remain upon him.'

Jesus saith to her, `Woman, believe me, that there doth come an hour, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father;

And from that city many believed in him, of the Samaritans, because of the word of the woman testifying, -- `He told me all things -- as many as I did.'

and many more did believe because of his word,

and said to the woman -- `No more because of thy speaking do we believe; for we ourselves have heard and known that this is truly the Saviour of the world -- the Christ.'

Jesus then said unto him, `If signs and wonders ye may not see, ye will not believe.'

Jesus saith to him, `Be going on; thy son doth live.' And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and was going on,

then the father knew that [it was] in that hour in which Jesus said to him -- `Thy son doth live,' and he himself believed, and his whole house;

`Verily, verily, I say to you -- He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life.

and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He sent, him ye do not believe.

how are ye able -- ye -- to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that [is] from God alone ye seek not?

for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me;

but if his writings ye believe not, how shall ye believe my sayings?'

Jesus answered and said to them, `This is the work of God, that ye may believe in him whom He did send.'

They said therefore to him, `What sign, then, dost thou, that we may see and may believe thee? what dost thou work?

And Jesus said to them, `I am the bread of the life; he who is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in me may not thirst -- at any time;

but I said to you, that ye also have seen me, and ye believe not;

and this is the will of Him who sent me, that every one who is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day.'

`Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me, hath life age-during;

but there are certain of you who do not believe;' for Jesus had known from the beginning who they are who are not believing, and who is he who will deliver him up,

and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'

for not even were his brethren believing in him.

and many out of the multitude did believe in him, and said -- `The Christ -- when he may come -- will he do more signs than these that this one did?'

he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;'

and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the Pharisees?

I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.'

As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;

Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, `If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,

`And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.

Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?

and he said -- `He is a prophet.' The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who received sight,

Jesus heard that they cast him forth without, and having found him, he said to him, `Dost thou believe in the Son of God?'

he answered and said, `Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?'

and he said, `I believe, sir,' and bowed before him.

Jesus answered them, `I told you, and ye do not believe; the works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me;

but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep,

if I do not the works of my Father, do not believe me;

and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me [is] the Father, and I in Him.'

and many did believe in him there.

and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that I was not there; but we may go to him;'

Jesus said to her, `I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;

and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die -- to the age;

believest thou this?' she saith to him, `Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.'

Jesus saith to her, `Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?'

and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said [it], that they may believe that Thou didst send me.'

Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;

if we may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.'

because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.

while ye have the light, believe in the light, that sons of light ye may become.' These things spake Jesus, and having gone away, he was hid from them,

yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in him,

Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah said,

Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue,

And Jesus cried and said, `He who is believing in me, doth not believe in me, but in Him who sent me;

I a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me -- in the darkness may not remain;

and if any one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I -- I do not judge him, for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.

`From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass, that, when it may come to pass, ye may believe that I am [he];

`Let not your heart be troubled, believe in God, also in me believe;

Believest thou not that I [am] in the Father, and the Father is in me? the sayings that I speak to you, from myself I speak not, and the Father who is abiding in me, Himself doth the works;

believe me, that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me; and if not, because of the works themselves, believe me.

`Verily, verily, I say to you, he who is believing in me, the works that I do -- that one also shall do, and greater than these he shall do, because I go on to my Father;

`And now I have said [it] to you before it come to pass, that when it may come to pass, ye may believe;

concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in me;

for the Father himself doth love you, because me ye have loved, and ye have believed that I from God came forth;

now we have known that thou hast known all things, and hast no need that any one do question thee; in this we believe that from God thou didst come forth.'

Jesus answered them, `Now do ye believe? lo, there doth come an hour,

because the sayings that Thou hast given to me, I have given to them, and they themselves received, and have known truly, that from Thee I came forth, and they did believe that Thou didst send me.

`And not in regard to these alone do I ask, but also in regard to those who shall be believing, through their word, in me;

that they all may be one, as Thou Father [art] in me, and I in Thee; that they also in us may be one, that the world may believe that Thou didst send me.

and he who hath seen hath testified, and his testimony is true, and that one hath known that true things he speaketh, that ye also may believe.

then, therefore, entered also the other disciple who came first unto the tomb, and he saw, and did believe;

the other disciples, therefore, said to him, `We have seen the Lord;' and he said to them, `If I may not see in his hands the mark of the nails, and may put my finger to the mark of the nails, and may put my hand to his side, I will not believe.'

then he saith to Thomas, `Bring thy finger hither, and see my hands, and bring thy hand, and put [it] to my side, and become not unbelieving, but believing.'

Jesus saith to him, `Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed; happy those not having seen, and having believed.'

and these have been written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in his name.'

and all those believing were at the same place, and had all things common,

and on the faith of his name, this one whom ye see and have known, his name made strong, even the faith that [is] through him did give to him this perfect soundness before you all.

and many of those hearing the word did believe, and the number of the men became, as it were, five thousand.

and of the multitude of those who did believe the heart and the soul was one, and not one was saying that anything of the things he had was his own, but all things were to them in common.

(and the more were believers added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women,)

And the thing was pleasing before all the multitude, and they did choose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch,

And the word of God did increase, and the number of the disciples did multiply in Jerusalem exceedingly; a great multitude also of the priests were obedient to the faith.

And Stephen, full of faith and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people,

And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the reign of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women;

and Simon also himself did believe, and, having been baptized, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.

[And Philip said, `If thou dost believe out of all the heart, it is lawful;' and he answering said, `I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God;']

And Saul, having come to Jerusalem, did try to join himself to the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he is a disciple,

and it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord;

to this one do all the prophets testify, that through his name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission of sins.'

and those of the circumcision believing were astonished -- as many as came with Peter -- because also upon the nations the gift of the Holy Spirit hath been poured out,

if then the equal gift God did give to them as also to us, having believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, I -- how was I able to withstand God?'

and the hand of the Lord was with them, a great number also, having believed, did turn unto the Lord.

because he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith, and a great multitude was added to the Lord.

and there withstood them Elymas the magian -- for so is his name interpreted -- seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith.

then the proconsul having seen what hath come to pass, did believe, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

`And that He did raise him up out of the dead, no more to return to corruption, he hath said thus -- I will give to you the faithful kindnesses of David;

and from all things from which ye were not able in the law of Moses to be declared righteous, in this one every one who is believing is declared righteous;

See, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish, because a work I -- I do work in your days, a work in which ye may not believe, though any one may declare [it] to you.'

And the nations hearing were glad, and were glorifying the word of the Lord, and did believe -- as many as were appointed to life age-during;

And it came to pass in Iconium, that they did enter together into the synagogue of the Jews, and spake, so that there believed both of Jews and Greeks a great multitude;

this one was hearing Paul speaking, who, having stedfastly beheld him, and having seen that he hath faith to be saved,

confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting to remain in the faith, and that through many tribulations it behoveth us to enter into the reign of God,

and having appointed to them by vote elders in every assembly, having prayed with fastings, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

and having come and gathered together the assembly, they declared as many things as God did with them, and that He did open to the nations a door of faith;

and there rose up certain of those of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying -- `It behoveth to circumcise them, to command them also to keep the law of Moses.'

and there having been much disputing, Peter having risen up said unto them, `Men, brethren, ye know that from former days, God among us did make choice, through my mouth, for the nations to hear the word of the good news, and to believe;

and did put no difference also between us and them, by the faith having purified their hearts;

but, through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, even as also they.'

And he came to Derbe and Lystra, and lo, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus son of a certain woman, a believing Jewess, but of a father, a Greek,

then, indeed, were the assemblies established in the faith, and were abounding in number every day;

and when she was baptized, and her household, she did call upon us, saying, `If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, having entered into my house, remain;' and she constrained us.

and they said, `Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved -- thou and thy house;'

having brought them also into his house, he set food before [them], and was glad with all the household, he having believed in God.

And certain of them did believe, and attached themselves to Paul and to Silas, also of the worshipping Greeks a great multitude, of the principal women also not a few.

many, indeed, therefore, of them did believe, and of the honourable Greek women and men not a few.

and certain men having cleaved to him, did believe, among whom [is] also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman, by name Damaris, and others with them.

and Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue did believe in the Lord with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing were believing, and they were being baptized.

and he being minded to go through into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples, having exhorted them to receive him, who having come, did help them much who have believed through the grace,

he said unto them, `The Holy Spirit did ye receive -- having believed?' and they said unto him, `But we did not even hear whether there is any Holy Spirit;'

And Paul said, `John, indeed, did baptize with a baptism of reformation, saying to the people that in him who is coming after him they should believe -- that is, in the Christ -- Jesus;'

many also of those who did believe were coming, confessing and declaring their acts,

testifying fully both to Jews and Greeks, toward God reformation, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

and they having heard, were glorifying the Lord. They said also to him, `Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are of Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of the law,

`And concerning those of the nations who have believed, we have written, having given judgment, that they observe no such thing, except to keep themselves both from idol-sacrifices, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom.'

and I said, Lord, they -- they know that I was imprisoning and was scourging in every synagogue those believing on thee;

`And I confess this to thee, that, according to the way that they call a sect, so serve I the God of the fathers, believing all things that in the law and the prophets have been written,

And after certain days, Felix having come with Drusilla his wife, being a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith toward Christ,

to open their eyes, to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the authority of the Adversary unto God, for their receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having been sanctified, by faith that [is] toward me.

thou dost believe, king Agrippa, the prophets? I have known that thou dost believe!'

wherefore be of good cheer, men! for I believe God, that so it shall be, even as it hath been spoken to me,

and, some, indeed, were believing the things spoken, and some were not believing.

through whom we did receive grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name;

first, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world;

and that is, that I may be comforted together among you, through the faith in one another, both yours and mine.

for I am not ashamed of the good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to every one who is believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek.

For the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it hath been written, `And the righteous one by faith shall live,'

unintelligent, faithless, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful;

for what, if certain were faithless? shall their faithlessness the faithfulness of god make useless?

and the righteousness of God [is] through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, -- for there is no difference,

whom God did set forth a mercy seat, through the faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the bygone sins in the forbearance of God --

for the shewing forth of His righteousness in the present time, for His being righteous, and declaring him righteous who [is] of the faith of Jesus.

Where then [is] the boasting? it was excluded; by what law? of works? no, but by a law of faith:

therefore do we reckon a man to be declared righteous by faith, apart from works of law.

yes, also of nations; since one [is] God who shall declare righteous the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through the faith.

Law then do we make useless through the faith? let it not be! yea, we do establish law.

for what doth the writing say? `And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness;'

and to him who is not working, and is believing upon Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned -- to righteousness:

[Is] this happiness, then, upon the circumcision, or also upon the uncircumcision -- for we say that the faith was reckoned to Abraham -- to righteousness?

and a sign he did receive of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them,

and father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of the faith, that [is] in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.

For not through law [is] the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith;

for if they who are of law [are] heirs, the faith hath been made void, and the promise hath been made useless;

Because of this [it is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which [is] of the law only, but also to that which [is] of the faith of Abraham,

who is father of us all (according as it hath been written -- `A father of many nations I have set thee,') before Him whom he did believe -- God, who is quickening the dead, and is calling the things that be not as being.

Who, against hope in hope did believe, for his becoming father of many nations according to that spoken: `So shall thy seed be;'

and not having been weak in the faith, he did not consider his own body, already become dead, (being about a hundred years old,) and the deadness of Sarah's womb,

and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God,

but also on ours, to whom it is about to be reckoned -- to us believing on Him who did raise up Jesus our Lord out of the dead,

Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

through whom also we have the access by the faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast on the hope of the glory of God.

And if we died with Christ, we believe that we also shall live with him,

What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that [is] of faith,

wherefore? because -- not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling,

according as it hath been written, `Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be ashamed.'

For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one who is believing,

and the righteousness of faith doth thus speak: `Thou mayest not say in thine heart, Who shall go up to the heaven,' that is, Christ to bring down?

But what doth it say? `Nigh thee is the saying -- in thy mouth, and in thy heart:' that is, the saying of the faith, that we preach;

that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved,

for with the heart doth [one] believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;

for the Writing saith, `Every one who is believing on him shall not be ashamed,'

How then shall they call upon [him] in whom they did not believe? and how shall they believe [on him] of whom they did not hear? and how shall they hear apart from one preaching?

so then the faith [is] by a report, and the report through a saying of God,

by unbelief they were broken off, and thou hast stood by faith; be not high-minded, but be fearing;

for as ye also once did not believe in God, and now did find kindness by the unbelief of these:

so also these now did not believe, that in your kindness they also may find kindness;

For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal a measure of faith,

And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy -- `According to the proportion of faith!'

And this, knowing the time, that for us, the hour already [is] to be aroused out of sleep, for now nearer [is] our salvation than when we did believe;

And him who is weak in the faith receive ye -- not to determinations of reasonings;

one doth believe that he may eat all things -- and he who is weak doth eat herbs;

Thou hast faith! to thyself have [it] before God; happy is he who is not judging himself in what he doth approve,

and he who is making a difference, if he may eat, hath been condemned, because [it is] not of faith; and all that [is] not of faith is sin.

and the God of the hope shall fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power of the Holy Spirit.

that I may be delivered from those not believing in Judea, and that my ministration, that [is] for Jerusalem, may become acceptable to the saints;

and now having been made manifest, also, through prophetic writings, according to a command of the age-during God, having been made known to all the nations for obedience of faith --

faithful [is] God, through whom ye were called to the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

for, seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom knew not God, it did please God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing.

that your faith may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but ministrants through whom ye did believe, and to each as the Lord gave?

and as to the rest, it is required in the stewards that one may be found faithful,

because of this I sent to you Timotheus, who is my child, beloved and faithful in the Lord, who shall remind you of my ways in Christ, according as everywhere in every assembly I teach.

And concerning the virgins, a command of the Lord I have not; and I give judgment as having obtained kindness from the Lord to be faithful:

No temptation hath taken you -- except human; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the outlet, for your being able to bear [it].

for first, indeed, ye coming together in an assembly, I hear of divisions being among you, and partly I believe [it],

and to another faith in the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings in the same Spirit;

and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing;

all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all it endureth.

and now there doth remain faith, hope, love -- these three; and the greatest of these [is] love.

so that the tongues are for a sign, not to the believing, but to the unbelieving; and the prophesy [is] not for the unbelieving, but for the believing,

through which also ye are being saved, in what words I proclaimed good news to you, if ye hold fast, except ye did believe in vain,

whether, then, I or they, so we preach, and so ye did believe.

and if Christ hath not risen, then void [is] our preaching, and void also your faith,

and if Christ hath not risen, vain is your faith, ye are yet in your sins;

Watch ye, stand in the faith; be men, be strong;

and God [is] faithful, that our word unto you became not Yes and No,

not that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers together with your joy, for by the faith ye stand.

And having the same spirit of the faith, according to that which hath been written, `I believed, therefore I did speak;' we also do believe, therefore also do we speak;

for through faith we walk, not through sight --

and what fellowship to light with darkness? and what concord to Christ with Belial? or what part to a believer with an unbeliever?

but even as in every thing ye do abound, in faith, and word, and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us, that also in this grace ye may abound;

not boasting of the things not measured, in other men's labours, and having hope -- your faith increasing -- in you to be enlarged, according to our line -- into abundance,

Your ownselves try ye, if ye are in the faith; your ownselves prove ye; do ye not know your ownselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, if ye be not in some respect disapproved of?

and only they were hearing, that `he who is persecuting us then, doth now proclaim good news -- the faith that then he was wasting;'

having known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.'

with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I, and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the flesh -- in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me and did give himself for me;

this only do I wish to learn from you -- by works of law the Spirit did ye receive, or by the hearing of faith?

He, therefore, who is supplying to you the Spirit, and working mighty acts among you -- by works of law or by the hearing of faith [is it]?

according as Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness;

know ye, then, that those of faith -- these are sons of Abraham,

and the Writing having foreseen that by faith God doth declare righteous the nations did proclaim before the good news to Abraham --

`Blessed in thee shall be all the nations;' so that those of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham,

and that in law no one is declared righteous with God, is evident, because `The righteous by faith shall live;'

and the law is not by faith, but -- `The man who did them shall live in them.'

that to the nations the blessing of Abraham may come in Christ Jesus, that the promise of the Spirit we may receive through the faith.

but the Writing did shut up the whole under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those believing.

And before the coming of the faith, under law we were being kept, shut up to the faith about to be revealed,

so that the law became our child-conductor -- to Christ, that by faith we may be declared righteous,

and the faith having come, no more under a child-conductor are we,

for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus,

for we by the Spirit, by faith, a hope of righteousness do wait for,

for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working.

And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially unto those of the household of the faith.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:

in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth -- the good news of your salvation -- in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise,

Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and the love to all the saints,

and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are believing, according to the working of the power of His might,

for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you -- of God the gift,

in whom we have the freedom and the access in confidence through the faith of him,

that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts, in love having been rooted and founded,

one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

till we may all come to the unity of the faith and of the recognition of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to a measure of stature of the fulness of the Christ,

above all, having taken up the shield of the faith, in which ye shall be able all the fiery darts of the evil one to quench,

And that ye may know -- ye also -- the things concerning me -- what I do, all things make known to you shall Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful ministrant in the Lord,

Peace to the brethren, and love, with faith, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!

and of this being persuaded, I have known that I shall remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy of the faith,

Only worthily of the good news of the Christ conduct ye yourselves, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,

because to you it was granted, on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also on behalf of him to suffer;

but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all,

not having my righteousness, which [is] of law, but that which [is] through faith of Christ -- the righteousness that is of God by the faith,

to the saints in Colossae, and to the faithful brethren in Christ: Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!

having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love that [is] to all the saints,

as ye also learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful ministrant of the Christ,

if also ye remain in the faith, being founded and settled, and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which ye heard, which was preached in all the creation that [is] under the heaven, of which I became -- I Paul -- a ministrant.

for if even in the flesh I am absent -- yet in the spirit I am with you, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in regard to Christ;

being rooted and built up in him, and confirmed in the faith, as ye were taught -- abounding in it in thanksgiving.

being buried with him in the baptism, in which also ye rose with [him] through the faith of the working of God, who did raise him out of the dead.

All the things concerning me make known to you shall Tychicus -- the beloved brother, and faithful ministrant, and fellow-servant in the Lord --

with Onesimus the faithful and beloved brother, who is of you; all things to you shall they make known that [are] here.

unceasingly remembering of you the work of the faith, and the labour of the love, and the endurance of the hope, of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the presence of our God and Father,

so that ye became patterns to all those believing in Macedonia and Achaia,

for from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith toward God did go forth, so that we have no need to say anything,

ye [are] witnesses -- God also -- how kindly and righteously, and blamelessly to you who believe we became,

Because of this also, we -- we do give thanks to God continually, that, having received the word of hearing from us of God, ye accepted, not the word of man, but as it is truly, the word of God, who also doth work in you who believe;

and did send Timotheus -- our brother, and a ministrant of God, and our fellow-workman in the good news of the Christ -- to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith,

because of this also, I, no longer forbearing, did send to know your faith, lest he who is tempting did tempt you, and in vain might be our labour.

And now Timotheus having come unto us from you, and having declared good news to us of your faith and love, and that ye have a good remembrance of us always, desiring much to see us, as we also [to see] you,

because of this we were comforted, brethren, over you, in all our tribulation and necessity, through your faith,

night and day exceedingly beseeching, that we might see your face, and perfect the things lacking in your faith.

for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also God those asleep through Jesus he will bring with him,

and we, being of the day -- let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and an helmet -- a hope of salvation,

We ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because increase greatly doth your faith, and abound doth the love of each one of you all, to one another;

so that we ourselves do glory in you in the assemblies of God, for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye bear;

when He may come to be glorified in his saints, and to be wondered at in all those believing -- because our testimony was believed among you -- in that day;

for which also we do pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfil all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of the faith in power,

and because of this shall God send to them a working of delusion, for their believing the lie,

that they may be judged -- all who did not believe the truth, but were well pleased in the unrighteousness.

And we -- we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, that God did choose you from the beginning to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth,

and that we may be delivered from the unreasonable and evil men, for the faith [is] not of all;

to Timotheus -- genuine child in faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord,

nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than the building up of God that is in faith: --

And the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned,

and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that [is] in Christ Jesus:

but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during:

having faith and a good conscience, which certain having thrust away, concerning the faith did make shipwreck,

in regard to which I was set a preacher and apostle -- truth I say in Christ, I do not lie -- a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.

and she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.

having the secret of the faith in a pure conscience,

Women -- in like manner grave, not false accusers, vigilant, faithful in all things.

for those who did minister well a good step to themselves do acquire, and much boldness in faith that [is] in Christ Jesus.

and, confessedly, great is the secret of piety -- God was manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by messengers, preached among nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory!

And the Spirit expressly speaketh, that in latter times shall certain fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and teachings of demons,

forbidding to marry -- to abstain from meats that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those believing and acknowledging the truth,

These things placing before the brethren, thou shalt be a good ministrant of Jesus Christ, being nourished by the words of the faith, and of the good teaching, which thou didst follow after,

for for this we both labour and are reproached, because we hope on the living God, who is Saviour of all men -- especially of those believing.

let no one despise thy youth, but a pattern become thou of those believing in word, in behaviour, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity;

and if any one for his own -- and especially for those of the household -- doth not provide, the faith he hath denied, and than an unbeliever he is worse.

having judgment, because the first faith they did cast away,

If any believing man or believing woman have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the assembly be burdened, that those really widows it may relieve.

and those having believing masters, let them not slight [them], because they are brethren, but rather let them serve, because they are stedfast and beloved, who of the benefit are partaking. These things be teaching and exhorting;

for a root of all the evils is the love of money, which certain longing for did go astray from the faith, and themselves did pierce through with many sorrows;

and thou, O man of God, these things flee, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness;

be striving the good strife of the faith, be laying hold on the life age-during, to which also thou wast called, and didst profess the right profession before many witnesses.

which certain professing -- concerning the faith did swerve; the grace [is] with you. Amen.

taking remembrance of the unfeigned faith that is in thee, that dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that also in thee.

for which cause also these things I suffer, but I am not ashamed, for I have known in whom I have believed, and have been persuaded that he is able that which I have committed to him to guard -- to that day.

The pattern hold thou of sound words, which from me thou didst hear, in faith and love that [is] in Christ Jesus;

who concerning the truth did swerve, saying the rising again to have already been, and do overthrow the faith of some;

and the youthful lusts flee thou, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those calling upon the Lord out of a pure heart;

and, even as Jannes and Jambres stood against Moses, so also these do stand against the truth, men corrupted in mind, disapproved concerning the faith;

And thou -- thou hast followed after my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, endurance,

and because from a babe the Holy Writings thou hast known, which are able to make thee wise -- to salvation, through faith that [is] in Christ Jesus;

the good strife I have striven, the course I have finished, the faith I have kept,

Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the choice ones of God, and an acknowledging of truth that [is] according to piety,

to Titus -- true child according to a common faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour!

this testimony is true; for which cause convict them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,

aged men to be temperate, grave, sober, sound in the faith, in the love, in the endurance;

Stedfast [is] the word; and concerning these things I counsel thee to affirm fully, that they may be thoughtful, to be leading in good works -- who have believed God; these are the good and profitable things to men,

Salute thee do all those with me; salute those loving us in faith; the grace [is] with you all!

hearing of thy love and faith that thou hast unto the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,

that the fellowship of thy faith may become working in the full knowledge of every good thing that [is] in you toward Christ Jesus;

and to whom did He swear that they shall not enter into His rest, except to those who did not believe? --

for we also are having good news proclaimed, even as they, but the word heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard,

for we do enter into the rest -- we who did believe, as He said, `So I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest -- ;' and yet the works were done from the foundation of the world,

Wherefore, having left the word of the beginning of the Christ, unto the perfection we may advance, not again a foundation laying of reformation from dead works, and of faith on God,

that ye may not become slothful, but followers of those who through faith and patient endurance are inheriting the promises.

may we draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having the hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having the body bathed with pure water;

may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope, (for faithful [is] He who did promise),

and `the righteous by faith shall live,' and `if he may draw back, My soul hath no pleasure in him,'

and we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.

And faith is of things hoped for a confidence, of matters not seen a conviction,

by faith we understand the ages to have been prepared by a saying of God, in regard to the things seen not having come out of things appearing;

by faith a better sacrifice did Abel offer to God than Cain, through which he was testified to be righteous, God testifying of his gifts, and through it, he being dead, doth yet speak.

By faith Enoch was translated -- not to see death, and was not found, because God did translate him; for before his translation he had been testified to -- that he had pleased God well,

and apart from faith it is impossible to please well, for it behoveth him who is coming to God to believe that He is, and to those seeking Him He becometh a rewarder.

By faith Noah, having been divinely warned concerning the things not yet seen, having feared, did prepare an ark to the salvation of his house, through which he did condemn the world, and of the righteousness according to faith he became heir.

By faith Abraham, being called, did obey, to go forth to the place that he was about to receive for an inheritance, and he went forth, not knowing whither he doth go;

by faith he did sojourn in the land of the promise as a strange country, in tabernacles having dwelt with Isaac and Jacob, fellow-heirs of the same promise,

By faith also Sarah herself did receive power to conceive seed, and she bare after the time of life, seeing she did judge Him faithful who did promise;

In faith died all these, not having received the promises, but from afar having seen them, and having been persuaded, and having saluted [them], and having confessed that strangers and sojourners they are upon the earth,

By faith Abraham hath offered up Isaac, being tried, and the only begotten he did offer up who did receive the promises,

By faith, concerning coming things, Isaac did bless Jacob and Esau;
