FAITH
Romans chapter 1
1Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus,
called to be an apostle and set apart
for the gospel of God – 2 the gospel he
promised beforehand through his prophets
in the Holy Scriptures 3 regarding his Son,
who as to his earthly life was a descendant
of David, 4 and who through the Spirit of
holiness was appointed the Son of God
in power by his resurrection from the dead:
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans chapter 1
5 Through him we received grace and
apostleship to call all the Gentiles to
the obedience that comes from faith
for his name’s sake. 6 And you also are among those Gentiles
who are called to belong to Jesus Christ. 7 To all in Rome who are loved by God
and called to be his holy people:
Grace and peace to you
from God our Father
and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Show me your faith without deeds,
and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
