This man heard Paul speaking; who, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be saved,

For by grace you are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father,

knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God.

But someone will say, You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith from my works.

But are you willing to understand, O vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?

Do you see how faith was working together with his works, and from works faith was made complete?

Which is easier: To say to the paralytic, Your sins are forgiven you; or to say, Arise, take up your bed and walk?

And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to themselves, Who is this who even forgives sins?

Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give to Israel repentance and remission of sins.

Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one through you in the person of Christ,

bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.

And He said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your plague.

But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, Be of good courage, daughter; your faith has made you well. And the woman was made well from that hour.

And He said to her, Daughter, be of good courage; your faith has made you well. Go in peace.

In order to turn man from his deed, and conceal pride from man,

Man is also chastened with pain on his bed, and with perpetual strife in his bones,

His flesh wastes away from sight, and his bones which once were not seen are laid bare.

If there is a messenger for him, a mediator, one among a thousand, to declare for man his uprightness,

His flesh shall be fresh like a youth's, he shall return to the days of his vigor.

i1 [A Psalm of David. Maschil.] i0 par Blessed is the man whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

When I kept silent, my bones wore out through my roaring all day long.

I declared my sin to You, and my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, I will confess my transgression to Jehovah, and You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

For we have been consumed by Your anger, and by Your wrath we have been terrified.

For all our days have turned away in Your wrath; we finish our years with a sigh.

Behold, instead of peace I was bitter with bitterness; but You have delighted in delivering my soul from the pit of corruption. You have cast all my sins behind Your back.

Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, you have been made well. Sin no more, that a worse thing not come upon you.

And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he may have committed sins, they will be forgiven him.
