Bible Verses About Faith

by faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who disbelieved, having received the spies with peace.

And what shall I yet say? for the time will fail me recounting about Gideon, Barak also, and Samson, and Jephthah, David also, and Samuel, and the prophets,

who through faith did subdue kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped mouths of lions,

quenched the power of fire, escaped the mouth of the sword, were made powerful out of infirmities, became strong in battle, caused to give way camps of the aliens.

Women received by a rising again their dead, and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that a better rising again they might receive,

and others of mockings and scourgings did receive trial, and yet of bonds and imprisonment;

they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tried; in the killing of the sword they died; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins--being destitute, afflicted, injuriously treated,

of whom the world was not worthy; in deserts wandering, and in mountains, and in caves, and in the holes of the earth;

and these all, having been testified to through the faith, did not receive the promise,

My brethren, hold not, in respect of persons, the faith of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ,

for if there may come into your synagogue a man with gold ring, in gay raiment, and there may come in also a poor man in vile raiment,

and ye may look upon him bearing the gay raiment, and may say to him, `Thou--sit thou here well,' and to the poor man may say, `Thou--stand thou there, or, Sit thou here under my footstool,' --

for He who is saying, `Thou mayest not commit adultery,' said also, `Thou mayest do no murder;' and if thou shalt not commit adultery, and shalt commit murder, thou hast become a transgressor of law;

so speak ye and so do, as about by a law of liberty to be judged,

for the judgment without kindness is to him not having done kindness, and exult doth kindness over judgment.

What is the profit, my brethren, if faith, any one may speak of having, and works he may not have? is that faith able to save him?
