do not faint

If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.  Proverbs 24.10

We should always pray and not faint.  (Luke 18.1)

For by grace are ye saved

(Ephesians 2.8,9)
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:  it is the gift of God:
not of works, lest anyone should boast.

righteousness based on faith

Romans 9
Righteousness Based on Faith
30  What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31  But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32  Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
33  as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumblingstone and rock of offense:  and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. (Is. 28.16)
