Romans, Chapter 4

1 What then shall we say that Abraham,a Or our forefather, has found according to the fleshour forefather according to the flesh, has found? 2 For if Abraham was justifiedb Lit out ofby works, he has something to boast about, but notc Lit towardbefore God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? “ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.” 4 Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. 5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness, 6 just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
 7 “BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE LAWLESS DEEDS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN,
AND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED.
 8 “BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT.”
9 Is this blessing then ond Lit circumcisionthe circumcised, or one Lit uncircumcisionthe uncircumcised also? For we say, “FAITH WAS CREDITED TO ABRAHAM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.” 10 How then was it credited? While he wasf Lit in circumcisioncircumcised, org Lit in uncircumcisionuncircumcised? Not whileh Lit in circumcisioncircumcised, but whilei Lit in uncircumcisionuncircumcised; 11 and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith whichj Lit was in uncircumcisionhe had while uncircumcised, so that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised, that righteousness might be credited to them, 12 and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also follow in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham whichk Lit was in uncircumcisionhe had while uncircumcised.
13 For the promise to Abraham or to hisl Lit seeddescendants that he would be heir of the world was notm Or through lawthrough the Law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if those who aren Or of lawof the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise is nullified; 15 for the Law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, there also is no violation.
16 For this reason it iso Or out ofby faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all thep Lit seeddescendants, not only toq Lit that which isthose who are of the Law, but also tor Lit that which isthose who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, 17 (as it is written, “A FATHER OF MANY NATIONS HAVE I MADE YOU”) in the presence of Him whom he believed, even God, who gives life to the dead ands Lit calls the things which do not exist as existingcalls into being that which does not exist. 18 In hope against hope he believed, so that he might become a father of many nations according to that which had been spoken, “SO SHALL YOURt Lit seedDESCENDANTS BE.” 19 Without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah’s womb; 20 yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform. 22 Therefore IT WAS ALSO CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS. 23 Now not for his sake only was it written that it was credited to him, 24 but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 He who was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification.
