So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by word of God. But now is made manifest, and by scriptures of prophets, according to commandment of everlasting God, made known to all nations for obedience of faith: That your faith should not stand in wisdom of men, but in power of God.

Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, same are children of Abraham. And scripture, foreseeing that God would justify heathen through faith, preached before gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. That blessing of Abraham might come on Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive promise of Spirit through faith.

But scripture hath concluded all under sin, that promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

One Lord, one faith, one baptism ... Till we all come in unity of faith, and of knowledge of Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto measure of stature of fullness of Christ.

This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in faith.

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast profession of our faith without wavering, (for he is faithful that promised).

Through faith we understand that worlds were framed by word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. For as body without spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

The prayer of faith shall save sick, and Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Who are kept by power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in last time. That trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at appearing of Jesus Christ: Receiving end of your faith, even salvation of your souls. Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh world: and this is victory that overcometh world, even our faith ... building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in Holy Ghost.

O Israel, trust thou in Lord: he is their help and their shield. O house of Aaron, trust in Lord: he is their help and their shield.

Ye that fear Lord, trust in Lord: he is their help and their shield. It is better to trust in Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in Lord than to put confidence in princes. So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.

Trust in Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. That thy trust may be in Lord, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee. Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. What shall one then answer messengers of nation? That Lord hath founded Zion, and poor of his people shall trust in it.

Who is among you that feareth Lord, that obeyeth voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in name of Lord, and stay upon his God.

My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge people; isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust. For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith Lord.

The Lord is good, a strong hold in day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and children which God hath given me.
