Biblical Concordance
| Romans 4:5 | But to the one who does not work, but entrusts himself to the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith (pistis | πίστις | nom sg fem) is credited as righteousness. |
| Romans 4:9 | Therefore, is this blessedness for the circumcised alone, or is it also for the uncircumcised? For we say, “It was to Abraham that faith (pistis | πίστις | nom sg fem) was credited as righteousness.” |
| Romans 4:11 | He received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith (pisteōs | πίστεως | gen sg fem) while he was still uncircumcised, so that he would be the father of all who believe but have never been circumcised, that they too might have righteousness credited to them. |
| Romans 4:12 | He is also the father of the circumcised who are not merely circumcised but also walk in the footsteps of the faith (pisteōs | πίστεως | gen sg fem) that our father Abraham had while he was still uncircumcised. |
| Romans 4:13 | For the promise that he would be heir of the world did not come to Abraham or to his descendants through the law, but through the righteousness of faith (pisteōs | πίστεως | gen sg fem). |
| Romans 4:14 | if the heirs are those who follow the law, then faith (pistis | πίστις | nom sg fem) is meaningless and the promise is void. |
| Romans 4:16 | For this reason the promise is based on faith (pisteōs | πίστεως | gen sg fem), that it may depend on grace and be made certain to all his descendants, not only to those who are under the law, but also to those who share the faith (pisteōs | πίστεως | gen sg fem) of Abraham, who is the father of us all. |
| Romans 4:19 | Not being weak in faith (pistei | πίστει | dat sg fem), he considered his own body as dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the barrenness of Sarah’s womb. |

| Romans 5:2 | through whom we have also obtained access by faith (pistei | πίστει | dat sg fem) into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of sharing the glory of God. |
| Romans 9:30 | What then shall we say? — that the Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have obtained it, the righteousness that is by faith (pisteōs | πίστεως | gen sg fem); |
| Romans 9:32 | Why not? Because they did not pursue it by faith (pisteōs | πίστεως | gen sg fem), but as though it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone, |
| Romans 10:6 | But the righteousness based on faith (pisteōs | πίστεως | gen sg fem) says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down), |
| Romans 10:8 | But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith (pisteōs | πίστεως | gen sg fem) that we proclaim: |

| Romans 12:6 | having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us. If your gift is prophecy, then prophesy in proportion to your faith (pisteōs | πίστεως | gen sg fem); |

| Romans 14:22 | The faith (pistin | πίστιν | acc sg fem) that you have, keep as your own conviction before God. Blessed is the one who has no reason to condemn himself for what he approves. |
| Romans 14:23 | But the one who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith (pisteōs | πίστεως | gen sg fem); and whatever is not from faith (pisteōs | πίστεως | gen sg fem) is sin. |

| Galatians 2:20 | and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith (pistei | πίστει | dat sg fem) in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. |
