Habakkuk 2:2-4  (New King James Version)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Just Live by Faith<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

2 <\/sup>Then the Lord answered me and said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWrite the vision
\nAnd make it<\/i> plain on tablets,
\nThat he may run who reads it.
\n3 <\/sup>For the vision is<\/i> yet for an appointed time;
\nBut at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
\nThough it tarries, wait for it;
\nBecause it will surely come,
\nIt will not tarry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

4 <\/sup>\u201cBehold the proud,
\nHis soul is not upright in him;
\nBut the just shall live by his faith.<\/p>\n

Luke 17:5-10  (New King James Version)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n

Faith and Duty<\/em><\/h3>\n

5 <\/sup>And the apostles said to the Lord, \u201cIncrease our faith.\u201d<\/p>\n

6 <\/sup>So the Lord said, \u201cIf you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, \u2018Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,\u2019 and it would obey you. 7 <\/sup>And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, \u2018Come at once and sit down to eat\u2019? 8 <\/sup>But will he not rather say to him, \u2018Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink\u2019? 9 <\/sup>Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not. 10 <\/sup>So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, \u2018We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
