13 Since we have ^xthe same spirit of faith according to what has been written, ^y“I believed, and so I spoke,” we also believe, and so we also speak,

8 For ^zby grace you have been saved ^athrough faith. And this is ^bnot your own doing; ^cit is the gift of God,

14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him ^uof whom they have never heard?¹ And how are they to hear ^vwithout someone preaching?

17 So ^zfaith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

Increase Our Faith

5 ^cThe apostles said to the Lord, ^d“Increase our faith!”

2 ^kLike newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual ^lmilk, that by it you may grow up into salvation—

32 And now ^aI commend you to God and to ^bthe word of his grace, which is able to ^cbuild you up and to give you ^dthe inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
