walking by faith

⁷For we walk by means of faith, and not by sight.

⁶But without faith, it is impossible to please God. For whoever approaches God must believe that he exists, and that he rewards those who seek him.

¹Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not apparent.

¹⁷For the justice of God is revealed within it, by faith unto faith, just as it was written: “For the just one lives by faith.”

⁵Have confidence in the Lord with all your heart, and do not depend upon your own prudence. ⁶In all your ways, consider him, and he himself will direct your steps.

⁸For by grace, you have been saved through faith. And this is not of yourselves, for it is a gift of God. ⁹And this is not of works, so that no one may glory.

¹⁷Therefore, faith is from hearing, and hearing is through the Word of Christ.

²⁰I live; yet now, it is not I, but truly Christ, who lives in me. And though I live now in the flesh, I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and who delivered himself for me.

¹⁸And we are contemplating, not the things that are seen, but the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are temporal, whereas the things that are not seen are eternal.

³⁸For my just man lives by faith. But if he were to draw himself back, he would not please my soul.”

¹⁶For this reason, we are not insufficient. But it is as though our outer man is corrupted, while our inner man is renewed from day to day. ¹⁷For though our tribulation is, at the present time, brief and light, it accomplishes in us the weight of a sublime eternal glory, beyond measure. ¹⁸And we are contemplating, not the things that are seen, but the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are temporal, whereas the things that are not seen are eternal.

⁴Behold, he who is unbelieving, his soul will not be right within himself; but he who is just shall live in his faith.
