As for God,
his way
is perfect;
the word
of the LORD
is tried:
he is a buckler
to all
them that trust
in him.
But let all
those that put
their trust
in thee rejoice:
let them ever
shout for joy,
because
thou defendest them:
let them also
that love thy
name
be joyful
in thee.
And they that
know thy
name
will put
their trust
in thee:
for thou,
LORD,
hast not forsaken them
that seek thee.
As for God,
his way
is perfect:
the word
of the LORD
is tried:
he is a buckler
to all
those that trust
in him.
Many sorrows
shall be
to the wicked:
but
he that
trusteth in the LORD,
mercy
shall compass him about.
O taste and see
that the LORD
is good:
blessed is the man
that trusteth in him.
The LORD
redeemeth
the soul
of his servants:
and none of them
that trust
in him shall be desolate.
How excellent
is thy lovingkindness,
O God!
therefore the children
of men put
their trust
under the shadow
of thy wings.
Blessed is that man
that maketh
the LORD his trust,
and respecteth not
the proud,
nor such as turn aside
to lies.
The righteous
shall be glad
in the LORD,
and
shall trust in him;
and all
the upright
in heart
shall glory.
O LORD of hosts,
blessed is the man
that trusteth in thee.
He shall not be afraid
of evil tidings:
his heart
is fixed,
trusting
in the LORD.
It is
better to trust
in the LORD
than to put confidence in man.
It is
better to trust
in the LORD
than to put confidence
in princes.
They
that trust
in the LORD
shall be
as mount Zion,
which cannot be removed,
but abideth
for ever.
The LORD
taketh pleasure
in them that fear him,
in those
that hope
in his mercy.
Trust in the LORD
with all thine heart;
and lean not
unto thine
own understanding.
In the fear
of the LORD
is strong confidence:
and his children
shall have
a place
of refuge.
That thy
trust
may be
in the LORD,
I have made
known
to thee this day,
even to thee.
He that is
of a proud heart
stirreth up strife:
but he
that putteth
his trust
in the LORD
shall be made fat.
The fear of man
bringeth a snare:
but
whoso putteth
his trust
in the LORD shall be safe.
Every word
of God
is pure:
he is a shield
unto them that put their trust
in him.
Thou wilt keep him
in perfect peace,
whose mind
is stayed
on thee:
because
he trusteth in thee.
For thus
saith the Lord GOD,
the Holy One
of Israel;
In returning
and rest
shall
ye be saved;
in quietness
and in confidence
shall be
your strength:
and ye would not.
When thou criest,
let thy companies
deliver thee;
but the wind
shall carry them
all away;
vanity shall take them:
but he
that putteth
his trust
in me shall possess the land,
and shall inherit
my holy mountain;
Blessed is the man
that trusteth in the LORD,
and whose hope
the LORD is.
For he
shall be as a tree planted
by the waters,
and that
spreadeth out her roots
by the river,
and shall not see
when heat cometh,
but her leaf
shall be green;
and shall not be careful
in the year
of drought,
neither shall cease
from yielding fruit.
For I
will surely deliver thee,
and
thou shalt not fall
by the sword,
but thy life
shall be
for a prey
unto thee:
because
thou hast put
thy trust in me,
saith the LORD.
The LORD
is good,
a strong hold
in the day
of trouble;
and
he knoweth them
that trust
in him.
Jesus
answered
and
said unto them,
Verily I
say unto you,
If ye
have faith,
and doubt not,
ye shall not only do
this which
is done
to the fig tree,
but also
if ye
shall say
unto this mountain,
Be thou removed,
and be
thou cast
into the sea;
it shall be done.
And all things,
whatsoever
ye shall ask
in prayer,
believing,
ye shall receive.
Jesus
said unto him,
If thou canst believe,
all things
are possible
to him that believeth.
And straightway
the father
of the child cried out,
and said
with tears,
Lord,
I believe;
help
thou mine unbelief.
For verily
I say unto you,
That whosoever
shall say
unto this mountain,
Be thou removed,
and be
thou cast
into the sea;
and shall not doubt
in his heart,
but shall believe
that those things
which he
saith shall come
to pass;
he shall have whatsoever
he saith.
Therefore I
say
unto you,
What things soever
ye desire,
when ye pray,
believe that
ye receive them,
and
ye shall have them.
And he
said
to the woman,
Thy faith
hath saved thee;
go in peace.
And he
said
unto her,
Daughter,
be of good comfort:
thy faith
hath made thee whole;
go in peace.
But
when Jesus
heard it,
he answered him,
saying,
Fear not:
believe only,
and
she shall be made whole.
And the apostles
said
unto the Lord,
Increase our faith.
I tell you
that
he will avenge them speedily.
Nevertheless
when the Son
of man cometh,
shall
he find faith
on the earth?
And his name
through faith
in his name
hath made
this man strong,
whom
ye see
and know:
yea,
the faith which
is by him
hath given him
this perfect soundness
in the presence
of you all.
And
when the Gentiles
heard this,
they were glad,
and glorified
the word
of the Lord:
and as many
as were ordained
to eternal life believed.
To open their eyes,
and
to turn them
from darkness
to light,
and
from the power
of Satan
unto God,
that they
may receive forgiveness
of sins,
and inheritance
among them which
are sanctified
by faith
that is in me.
For I
am not ashamed
of the gospel
of Christ:
for it
is the power
of God
unto salvation
to every one that believeth;
to the Jew first,
and
also to the Greek.
For therein is
the righteousness
of God
revealed
from faith to faith:
as it is written,
The just shall live
by faith.
For what
saith the scripture?
Abraham believed God,
and it
was counted
unto him
for righteousness.
But to him
that worketh not,
but believeth
on him that
justifieth the ungodly,
his faith
is counted
for righteousness.
And he
received
the sign
of circumcision,
a seal
of the righteousness
of the faith
which he
had yet being
uncircumcised:
that he
might be the father
of all
them that believe,
though they
be not circumcised;
that righteousness
might be imputed
unto them also:
For the promise,
that he
should be the heir
of the world,
was not
to Abraham,
or to his seed,
through the law,
but through the righteousness
of faith.
For if
they which
are of the law
be heirs,
faith is made void,
and the promise made
of none effect:
He staggered not
at the promise
of God
through unbelief;
but was strong
in faith,
giving glory
to God;
And being fully persuaded that,
what
he had promised,
he was able also
to perform.
And
therefore it
was imputed
to him
for righteousness.
Now it
was not written
for his sake alone,
that it
was imputed
to him;
But for us also,
to whom it
shall be imputed,
if we
believe
on him
that raised
up Jesus our Lord
from the dead;
Therefore being justified
by faith,
we have peace
with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ:
That if
thou shalt confess
with thy
mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe
in thine heart
that God
hath raised him
from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;
and
with the mouth
confession
is made
unto salvation.
Well;
because
of unbelief
they were broken off,
and
thou standest by faith.
Be not highminded,
but fear:
And they also,
if they
abide not
still in unbelief,
shall be graffed in:
for God
is able
to graff them
in again.
Now the God
of hope fill you
with all joy
and peace
in believing,
that ye
may abound
in hope,
through the power
of the Holy Ghost.
For after that
in the wisdom
of God the world
by wisdom
knew not God,
it pleased God
by the foolishness
of preaching
to save them
that believe.
That your faith
should not stand
in the wisdom
of men,
but in the power
of God.
For to one
is given
by the Spirit
the word
of wisdom;
to another
the word
of knowledge
by the same Spirit;
To another faith
by the same Spirit;
to another
the gifts
of healing
by the same Spirit;
Not for that
we have dominion
over your faith,
but are helpers
of your joy:
for by faith
ye stand.
This only would
I learn of you,
Received
ye the Spirit
by the works
of the law,
or by the hearing
of faith?
Are
ye so foolish?
having begun
in the Spirit,
are
ye now made
perfect by the flesh?
Even as Abraham
believed God,
and it
was accounted
to him
for righteousness.
Know ye
therefore that
they which
are of faith,
the same
are the children
of Abraham.
And the scripture,
foreseeing
that God
would justify
the heathen
through faith,
preached
before the gospel
unto Abraham,
saying,
In thee
shall all
nations be blessed.
So then
they which
be of faith
are blessed
with faithful Abraham.
For as many
as are of the works
of the law
are under the curse:
for it
is written,
Cursed
is
every one
that continueth not
in all
things which
are written
in the book
of the law
to do them.
But that no man
is justified
by the law
in the sight
of God,
it is evident:
for, The
just shall live
by faith.
And the law
is not of faith:
but,
The man
that doeth them
shall live in them.
That the blessing
of Abraham
might come
on the Gentiles
through Jesus Christ;
that we
might receive
the promise
of the Spirit
through faith.
But before faith came,
we were kept
under the law,
shut up
unto the faith which
should afterwards be revealed.
Wherefore
the law
was our schoolmaster
to bring us
unto Christ,
that we
might be justified
by faith.
But after that faith
is come,
we are no longer
under a schoolmaster.
For ye are all
the children
of God
by faith
in Christ Jesus.
For as many
of you as
have been baptized
into Christ
have put on
Christ.
But
the fruit
of the Spirit
is love,
joy,
peace,
longsuffering,
gentleness,
goodness,
faith,
For by
grace
are ye
saved
through faith;
and
that not of yourselves:
it is the gift
of God:
Above all,
taking the shield
of faith,
wherewith
ye shall be able
to quench all
the fiery darts
of the wicked.
If ye
continue
in the faith
grounded
and settled,
and be not moved away
from the hope
of the gospel,
which ye
have heard,
and which
was preached
to every creature
which is under heaven;
whereof
I Paul
am made
a minister;
For this cause
also thank
we God
without ceasing,
because,
when ye
received
the word
of God
which ye
heard of us,
ye received it
not as the word
of men,
but as it
is in truth,
the word of God,
which effectually worketh also
in you that believe.
But let us,
who are of the day,
be sober,
putting on the breastplate
of faith
and love;
and
for an helmet,
the hope
of salvation.
But we
are bound
to give
thanks alway
to God for you,
brethren beloved
of the Lord,
because God
hath
from the beginning
chosen you
to salvation
through sanctification
of the Spirit
and belief
of the truth:
Now
the end
of the commandment
is charity
out of a pure heart,
and
of a good conscience,
and
of faith unfeigned:
Holding faith,
and a good conscience;
which some
having put away concerning
faith have made
shipwreck:
But thou,
O man of God,
flee these things;
and follow
after righteousness,
godliness,
faith,
love,
patience,
meekness.
Fight the good fight
of faith,
lay hold on
eternal life,
whereunto
thou art
also called,
and hast professed
a good profession
before many witnesses.
I have fought
a good fight,
I have finished
my course,
I have kept
the faith:
For unto us was
the gospel preached,
as well as unto them:
but the word
preached
did not profit them,
not being mixed
with faith
in them that
heard it.
For we
which have believed
do enter
into rest,
as he said,
As I
have sworn
in my wrath,
if they
shall enter
into my rest:
although the works
were finished from the foundation
of the world.
Cast not away therefore your confidence,
which hath great recompence
of reward.
Now the just shall live
by faith:
but
if any man draw back,
my soul
shall have no pleasure
in him.
But we
are not
of them
who draw
back unto perdition;
but of them that
believe
to the saving
of the soul.
Now faith
is the substance
of things
hoped for,
the evidence
of things not seen.
For by it
the elders
obtained a good report.
Through faith
we understand
that the worlds
were framed
by the 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.
But let him
ask in faith,
nothing wavering.
For he that
wavereth
is like
a wave
of the sea
driven
with the wind
and tossed.
My brethren,
have not
the faith
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Lord
of glory,
with respect
of persons.
Hearken,
my beloved brethren,
Hath
not God
chosen
the poor
of this world rich in faith,
and heirs
of the kingdom
which he
hath promised
to them that love him?
What doth
it profit,
my brethren,
though a man
say
he hath faith,
and have not works?
can faith
save him?
If a brother
or sister
be naked,
and destitute
of daily food,
And one
of you
say unto them,
Depart in peace,
be ye
warmed
and filled;
notwithstanding
ye give them not those things which
are needful
to the body;
what doth
it profit?
Even so faith,
if it
hath not works,
is dead,
being alone.
Yea,
a man
may say,
Thou hast faith,
and I
have works:
shew me thy faith
without thy works,
and I
will shew
thee my faith
by my works.
Thou believest
that there is
one God;
thou doest well:
the devils
also believe,
and tremble.
But wilt
thou know,
O vain man,
that faith
without works
is dead?
Was not
Abraham our father
justified
by works,
when
he had offered
Isaac his son
upon the altar?
Seest
thou
how faith
wrought
with his works,
and by works
was faith
made perfect?
And the scripture
was fulfilled which
saith,
Abraham believed God,
and it
was imputed
unto him
for righteousness:
and he
was called
the Friend
of God.
Ye see then
how that
by works a man
is justified,
and
not by faith only.
Likewise
also was not
Rahab the harlot
justified
by works,
when
she had received
the messengers,
and had sent them
out another way?
For as the body
without the spirit
is dead,
so faith
without works
is dead also.
Receiving the end
of your faith,
even the salvation
of your souls.
Who
by him do believe
in God,
that raised
him up
from the dead,
and gave him glory;
that your faith
and hope
might be
in God.
Beloved,
if our heart
condemn us not,
then have
we confidence
toward God.
For whatsoever is born
of God
overcometh the world:
and this
is the victory
that overcometh the world,
even our faith.
