...closest I can find is:
Ephesians 6:16
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
You can reference words (or a number of words together) in the bible at this web site:

you will not find that staement in the Bible. Much of the teachings of Christ is not in the Bible but are found in oral tradition
The Catholic Church determined the canon of Scripture (what books belong in the Bible) at the end of the fourth century by Devine authority given by Christ. We therefore believe in the Scriptures on the authority of the Catholic Church. After all, nothing in Scripture tells us what Scriptures are inspired, what books belong in the Bible, or that Scripture is the final authority on questions concerning the Christian faith. Instead, the Bible says that the Church, not the Scriptures, is the pinnacle and foundation of the truth (1 Tim. 3:15) and the final arbiter on questions of the Christian faith (Matt. 18:17). It is through the teaching authority and Apostolic Tradition (2 Thess. 2:15; 3:6; 1 Cor. 11:2) of this Church, who is guided by the Holy Spirit (John 14:16,26; 16:13), that we know of the divine inspiration of the Scriptures, and the manifold wisdom of God. (cf. Ephesians 3:10).

Romans 3 and 6 say that faith is all that is needed, but James explicitly denies this. The Bible contradicts itself on the matter, and this has led to bloody wars in the past.

I believe it does because that is what basically makes up the bible faith because you need faith to believe in the bible "don't you?" well I am non denominational so it basically means I believe spirituality is more important!

We are saved by grace, not by works, so that no one can boast.
We are saved by grace alone. Recall that in Acts 16:31 the jailer asked Paul and Silas how to be saved. They responded, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved." The jailer believed and immediately became saved.
Close to 200 times in the New Testament salvation is said to be by faith alone - with no works in sight. Consider the following:
John 3:15 tells us that "everyone who believes in him may have eternal life."
John 5:24 says, "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my words and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life."
In John 11:25 Jesus says, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies."
John 23:46 says, "I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness."
John 20:31 says, "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name."
If salvation were not by faith alone, then Jesus' message in the Gospel of John - manifest in the above quotations - would be deceptive, stating that there is one condition for salvation when there are allegedly two - faith and works.
I must emphasize that we are saved by faith for works. Works are not the condition of our salvation, but a consequence of it We are saved not by works, but by the kind of faith that produces works.
Eph 2:8-10 God saved you by his special favor when you believed. And you can't take credit for this: It is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

All you need for what? Please be more specific.
You need God's grace first and foremost if you're asking about salvation.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."
As for "works", I do these "works" out of my love for Him, not because I'm trying to "work" my way into or out of something. It is a demonstration of my belief. Much like a child obeying a parent out of love (and a relationship) even when their selfish desires would have them do otherwise.

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved"
there are an incredible amount of verses in Romans,
go to Romans 5:8-10, i won't put them all, too much typing, but that will explain all questions you have about faith.

All you need for what... Salvation?... No... repentance is also a requirement... Here is The basics of how one is saved... All who come to God in The Way He prescribes receive His free gift of Salvation... no "works" required.... It is in comeing to God in The Way that is the stumbleing block for most... because to start to find The Way one must truly and honestly repent... and that is just not what most are willing to do.

No, it surprisingly says more than what the average Christian believes. (It's not a surprise, as American Christians are among the most religiously ignorant--that is, they don't know their own religious text.)
You also need to do charity and be baptized. Of course, the different authors wrote contradicting things about which of the three is most important.
