Bible verses about "faith" | Anderson

⁷ for we walk by faith, not by sight:

⁵ that your faith might not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

⁸ For by grace you have been saved through the faith; and this matter is not of yourselves; it is the gift of God:

¹ Now, faith is a sure confidence with respect to things hoped for, a firm persuasion with respect to things not seen: ² for by this the ancients obtained a good reputation. ³ By faith we understand that the ages were set in order by the word of God, so that the things which are seen, have not come into being from things that appear. ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God more sacrifice than Cain; on account of which he received testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and by it he, though dead, yet speaks. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death, and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had the testimony that he pleased God. ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. ⁷ By faith Noah, after being warned concerning things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the salvation of his house; by which faith he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is by faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, when called to go out into a place that he should afterward receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. ⁹ By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: ¹⁰ for he looked for a city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. ¹¹ By faith also Sarah herself received strength for the conception of seed, and brought forth a child when past the time of life, because she counted him faithful who had promised. ¹² Therefore, there were born of one, who was dead as it respects these things, a posterity like the stars of heaven in multitude, and like the sand on the sea-shore, innumerable. ¹³ All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off. and having embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners in the land. ¹⁴ For those who say such things, declare plainly that they seek a country. ¹⁵ And if indeed they had been mindful of that from which they came, they could have had an opportunity to return. ¹⁶ But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, that he should be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: even his first-born, did he that had received the promises, offer up, ¹⁸ of which first-born it was said: In Isaac shall your posterity be called: ¹⁹ for he concluded that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; wherefore he received him even in like manner. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped on the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the sons of Israel, and gave commandment concerning his bones. ²³ By faith Moses was concealed by his parents for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a beautiful child: and they feared not the command of the king. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when he became a man, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer evil with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasure of sin for a season; ²⁶ esteeming the reproach on account of the Christ as greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he earnestly looked to the reward. ²⁷ By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king: for he patiently endured, as seeing him that is invisible. ²⁸ By faith he kept the passover, and the affusion of blood, that he who destroyed the first-born might not touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Bed Sea as by dry land, which the Egyptians attempting to do, were drowned. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after the people had gone around them for seven days. ³¹ By faith Rabab the harlot perished not with the disobedient, because she had received the spies with peace. ³² And what further shall I say? For the time would fail me, were I to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthah, of David also and Samuel, and of the prophets, ³³ who, through faith, subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, closed the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. ³⁵ Women received their dead raised to life again: but others were beat to death, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection; ³⁶ others had trial of mockings and scourgings, bonds also, and imprisonments. ³⁷ They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tempted, they were slain with the sword: they went about in. sheep-skins, in goat-skins, being destitute, afflicted, oppressed with evils, ³⁸ (of whom the world was not worthy,) wandering in deserts, and in mountains, and in caverns, and in dens of the earth. ³⁹ And all these, having obtained a good reputation by faith, received not the promise, ⁴⁰ because God had provided some better thing for us, that they, without us, should not be made perfect.

¹ Wherefore, since we also have so great a cloud of witnesses lying round about us, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin that so easily besets us, and let us run with patience the race that lies before us, ² looking to Jesus the author and finisher of the faith, who, for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God. ³ For consider him that endured such opposition of sinners against himself, lest you become weary and despondent in your minds. ⁴ You have not yet resisted to blood, in your contest with sin; ⁵ and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as to sons: My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him. ⁶ For, whom the Lord loves, he chastens, and scourges every son that he receives. ⁷ If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons: for what son is there whose father chastens him not? ⁸ But if you are without chastisement, of which all are par takers, then are you bastards, and not sons. ⁹ So, then, we have had fathers of our flesh who corrected us, and we reverenced them; shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of our spirits, and live? ¹⁰ For they, indeed, for a few days, chastened us as they thought it good; but he chastens us for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness. ¹¹ But no chastisement seems, at the time, to be a matter of joy, but of grief: yet afterward, it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who are exercised by it. ¹² Wherefore, lift up the hands that hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees, ¹³ and make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned aside; but rather let it be restored to health. ¹⁴ Follow peace with all, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord; ¹⁵ taking care, lest any one slight the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness spring up and trouble you, and by this many be defiled; ¹⁶ lest there be any lewd person, or profane man, as Esau, who, for a single meal, sold his birthright. ¹⁷ For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no means to change his father's mind, though he sought it earnestly with tears. ¹⁸ For you have not come to a mountain that may be touched, and that burns with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest, ¹⁹ and to the sound of a trumpet, and to the utterance of words, the hearing of which utterance caused the people to entreat that the word might not be spoken to them again; ²⁰ for they could not endure that which was commanded, And if even a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned: ²¹ and so terrible was the sight, that even Moses said, I exceedingly fear and tremble. ²² But you have come to Mount Zion, and the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels; ²³ to the general assembly and church of the first-born, who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the just made perfect, ²⁴ and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than the blood of Abel. ²⁵ See that you reject not him that speaks: for if they es caped not who rejected that earthly man who gave the oracles, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that is from heaven, ²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, saying, Yet once more I will shake not the earth only, but also the heaven. ²⁷ And this prophecy, Yet once more, signifies the removing of the things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that the things which can not be shaken may remain. ²⁸ Wherefore, as we receive a kingdom that can not be shaken, let us have gratitude, by which we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and godly fear: ²⁹ for our God is a consuming fire.

¹ Let brotherly love continue. ² Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for, by this means, some have unconsciously entertained angels. ³ Remember those who are in bonds, as if you yourselves had been bound, and those who suffer affliction, since you yourselves are in the body. ⁴ Marriage is honorable among all men, and the bed undefiled; but lewd men and adulterers God will judge. ⁵ Let there be no money-loving disposition; be content with such things as you have. For he has said: I will never leave you, nor will I ever forsake you. ⁶ So, then, we may boldly say: The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man will do to me. ⁷ Remember those who rule over you, who have spoken to you the word of God: attentively consider the result of their conduct, and imitate their faith. ⁸ Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and to-day, and forever. ⁹ Be not carried away by various and strange teachings: for it is good that the heart be strengthened with grace, not with meats, which have not profited those who were occupied with them. ¹⁰ We have a sacrifice, of which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat. ¹¹ For the bodies of those animals whose blood, shed for sin, is carried by the high priest into the holiest, are burned with out the camp. ¹² Wherefore, Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate. ¹³ Therefore, let us go forth to him without the camp, bearing his reproach. ¹⁴ For here we have no abiding city, but we seek one to come. ¹⁵ Through him, therefore, let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to his name. ¹⁶ But forget not to do good, and to be liberal: for with such, sacrifices God is well pleased. ¹⁷ Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive: for they watch for your souls, as those who must give an account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for that would be fatal to you. ¹⁸ Pray for us: for we trust that we have a good conscience, willing to live honor ably in all things. ¹⁹ And I the more earnestly entreat you to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. ²⁰ Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, the great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the eternal covenant, ²¹ perfect you in every good work, in order that you may do his will, working in you that which is acceptable in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory from age to age. Amen. ²² I beseech you, brethren, bear with my word of exhortation: for I have written to you in few words. ²³ Know that our brother Timothy is set at liberty, with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you. ²⁴ Salute all your rulers, and all the saints. The saints of Italy salute you. Grace be with you all. Amen. ²⁵ :

³⁷ for nothing shall be impossible with God.

¹⁹ You believe that there is one God; you do well: the demons also believe, and tremble.

⁸ For by grace you have been saved through the faith; and this matter is not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: ⁹ not by works, lest any one should boast.

²² And Jesus answered and said to them: Have faith in God. ²³ For, verily I say to you, that whoever will say to this mountain, Be removed, and be cast into the sea, and will not doubt in his heart, but believe that what he says will come to pass, he shall have whatever he says. ²⁴ For this reason I say to you: All things that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive them, and they shall be yours.

¹ Now, faith is a sure confidence with respect to things hoped for, a firm persuasion with respect to things not seen:

⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

²² And all things that you ask for in prayer, believing, you shall receive.

¹⁷ So, then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
