Bible verses about "faith" | Worrell

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

⁷ (for we walk by faith and not by sight);

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

¹ Now faith is an assurance of things hoped for, a sure persuasion of things not seen; ² for in this the elders were well reported of. ³ By faith we perceive that the ages have been constituted by the word of God, so that what is seen has not arisen out of things that appear. ⁴ By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he received witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he, being dead, is still speaking. ⁵ By faith Enoch was translated, so as not to see death; and he was not found, because God translated him; for, it has been witnessed to him that, before his translation, he had been well-pleasing to God. ⁶ And, apart from faith, it is impossible to please Him; for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He becomes a rewarder to those who seek after Him. ⁷ By faith Noah, being divinely instructed concerning things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his house; through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. ⁸ By faith Abraham, when called, obeyed to go forth into the place which he was about to receive for an inheritance; and he went forth, not knowing whither he was going. ⁹ By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; ¹⁰ for he was waiting for the city which has the foundations, whose architect and builder is God. ¹¹ By faith Sarah herself also received power to conceive seed, even when past the age of child-bearing, since she accounted Him faithful, Who promised. ¹² Wherefore also there sprang from one, and one impotent as to these things, as many as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand, which is by the sea-shore, innumerable. ¹³ These all died according to faith, not having obtained the promises, but having seen them from afar, and having greeted them, and having confessed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth. ¹⁴ For those who say such things make it manifest that they are seeking their paternal home. ¹⁵ And, if, indeed, they had been mindful of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return. ¹⁶ But now they long for a better country, that is, a heavenly one; wherefore, God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for He prepared for them a city. ¹⁷ By faith Abraham, when tried, has offered up Isaac; yea, he who gladly received the promises was offering up his only begotten son, ¹⁸ to whom it was said, "In Isaac shall your seed be called;" ¹⁹ accounting that God is able to raise even from the dead; whence he did also, as in a figure, receive him back. ²⁰ By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, concerning things about to be. ²¹ By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and he worshiped leaning on the top of his staff. ²² By faith Joseph, when approaching his end, made mention of the departure of the sons of Israel, and gave orders concerning his bones. ²³ By faith Moses, when born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a comely child; and they were not afraid of the king's command. ²⁴ By faith Moses, when grown up, refused to be called son of Pharaoh's daughter, ²⁵ choosing rather to suffer evil with the people of God, than to have an enjoyment of sin for a season; ²⁶ regarding the reproach of the Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking away to the recompense. ²⁷ By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him Who is invisible. ²⁸ By faith he has instituted the passover, and the applying of the blood, lest the destroyer of the first-born should touch them. ²⁹ By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, which the Egyptians, making an attempt to do, were swallowed up. ³⁰ By faith the walls of Jericho fell, having been compassed about for seven days. ³¹ By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who disbelieved; having received the spies with peace. ³² And what more am I to say? for the time will fail me, if I speak at length concerning Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David also, and of Samuel, and the prophets; ³³ who, through faith, subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, ³⁴ quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put to flight armies of aliens. ³⁵ Women received their dead by a resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that they might obtain a better resurrection. ³⁶ And others had trial of mockings and scourgings, and, moreover, of bonds and imprisonment: ³⁷ they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tempted, they perished in the slaughter of the sword; they went about in sheep-skins, in goat-skins, being destitute, suffering tribulation, maltreated ³⁸ (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and the holes of the earth. ³⁹ And these all, having received a good report through faith, obtained not the promise; ⁴⁰ God having provided something better concerning us, that, apart from us, they should not be made perfect.

¹ Therefore, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us—having thrown off every encumbrance and the easily besetting sin—let us run with patience the race lying before us; ² looking away to the Author and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus; Who, in consideration of the joy lying before Him, endured the cross, despising shame, and hath taken a seat at the right hand of the throne of God. ³ For consider Him Who hath endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye become weary, fainting in your souls. ⁴ Not yet did ye resist unto blood, contending against sin; ⁵ and ye have forgotten the exhortation which, indeed, reasons with you as with sons: "My son, do not lightly regard the chastening of the Lord; neither faint, when reproved by Him; ⁶ for whom the Lord loveth, He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He acknowledgeth." ⁷ For chastening endure ye: God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father chastens not? ⁸ But, if ye are without chastisement, of which all have become partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. ⁹ Furthermore, we used to have the fathers of our flesh as chasteners, 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 were chastening us, according to what seemed good to them; but He for our profit, that we may partake of His holiness. ¹¹ All chastening, indeed, for the present seems not to be joyous, but grievous; but afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained thereby. ¹² Wherefore, lift up the relaxed hands and the feeble knees, ¹³ and make straight paths for your feet, that the lame be not turned out of the way, but rather be healed. ¹⁴ Pursue peace with all, and the holiness without which no one shall see the Lord; ¹⁵ looking carefully, lest there be any one falling short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness, springing up, trouble you, and through it many be defiled; ¹⁶ lest there be any fornicator or profane person, as Esau, who, for one meal, yielded up his own birth-right. ¹⁷ For ye know that even after that, when wishing to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no place for repentance, although he earnestly sought it with tears. ¹⁸ For ye have not come to a mount that is touched and burning with fire, and to blackness, and darkness, and tempest, ¹⁹ and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice those who heard entreated that no word more should be added to them; ²⁰ for they could not bear that which was being commanded: "And, if a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned"; ²¹ and so terrible was the appearance, Moses said, "I am exceedingly frightened and in fear!" ²² But ye have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the Living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, ²³ to the general festal throng, and assembly of the first-born who are enrolled in Heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous ones made perfect; ²⁴ and to Jesus, the Mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, speaking better things than Abel. ²⁵ See that ye refuse not Him Who speaketh; for, if those escaped not, when refusing him who warned them on earth, much more shall not we escape, who turn away from Him Who warneth us from Heaven; ²⁶ Whose voice then shook the earth, but now hath He promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake, not only the earth, but also the heaven." ²⁷ But the expression, "Yet once more," signifies the removal of the things shaken, as of things that have been made, that the things that are not shaken may remain. ²⁸ Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and godly fear; ²⁹ for, verily, our God is a consuming fire.

¹ Let brotherly love continue. ² Do not forget to show love for strangers; for thereby some entertained angels unawares. ³ Remember the prisoners, as bound with them; those ill-treated, as being yourselves also in the body. ⁴ Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge. ⁵ Let your disposition be without fondness for money; content with the present things; for He Himself hath said, "I will in nowise leave you, neither will I in any wise forsake you." ⁶ So that with good courage we say, "The Lord is my Helper, I will not be afraid; what shall man do to me?" ⁷ Remember those who are your leaders, who spake to you the word of God; and, considering the issue of whose manner of life, imitate their faith. ⁸ Jesus Christ is yesterday and today the same—and forever. ⁹ Be not carried away by manifold and strange teachings; for it is good that the heart be established with grace, not with foods, in which those who occupied themselves were not profited. ¹⁰ We have an altar, from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat. ¹¹ For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the holy place through the priest as an offering for sin, are burned without the camp. ¹² Wherefore, Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered without the gate. ¹³ Therefore, let us go forth to Him without the camp, bearing His reproach; ¹⁴ For we have not here an abiding city, but we are seeking for the one about to come. ¹⁵ Through Him, therefore, let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually; that is, the fruit of our lips making confession to His name. ¹⁶ But, of well-doing, and contributing, be not forgetful; for with such sacrifices God is well-pleased. ¹⁷ Obey those who are your leaders, and submit to them; for they watch in behalf of your souls, as those who are to give an account; that they may do this with joy, and not with sighing; for this would be unprofitable for you. ¹⁸ Pray for us; for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to deport ourselves honestly in all things. ¹⁹ And I the more earnestly exhort you to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. ²⁰ Now the God of peace, Who brought up from the dead the Great Shepherd of the sheep, in virtue of the blood of an eternal covenant, even our Lord Jesus, ²¹ make you perfect in every good thing to do His will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to Whom be the glory forever. Amen. ²² But I exhort you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation; for, indeed, I wrote to you in few words. ²³ Know ye that our brother Timothy has been set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you. ²⁴ Salute all those who are your leaders, and all the saints. Those from Italy salute you. ²⁵ Grace be with you all.

³⁷ because no word from God shall be without power."

¹⁹ You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder!

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

²² And Jesus, answering, saith to them, "Have the faith of God. ²³ Verily I say to you, whosoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says comes to pass; he shall have it. ²⁴ Therefore, I say to you, all things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye received them, and ye shall have them.

¹ Now faith is an assurance of things hoped for, a sure persuasion of things not seen;

⁶ And, apart from faith, it is impossible to please Him; for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He becomes a rewarder to those who seek after Him.

²² And all things whatsoever ye ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."

¹⁷ Consequently, faith comes of hearing; and hearing, through the word of Christ.
