WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767 that AbrahamG11 our father,G3962 as pertaining to the flesh,G4561 has found?G2147
2
For ifG1487 AbrahamG11 were justifiedG1344 by works,G2041 he hasG2192 whereof to glory;G2745 but not beforeG4314 God.G2316
3
For whatG5101 saidG3004 the scripture?G1124 AbrahamG11 believedG4100 God,G2316 and it was countedG3049 to him for righteousness.G1343
4
NowG1161 to him that worksG2038 is the rewardG3408 not reckonedG3049 of grace,G5485 but of debt.G3783
5
But to him that worksG2038 not, but believesG4100 onG1909 him that justifiesG1344 the ungodly,G765 his faithG4102 is countedG3049 for righteousness.G1343
6
EvenG2509 as DavidG1138 alsoG2532 describesG3004 the blessednessG3108 of the man,G444 to whomG3739 GodG2316 imputesG3049 righteousnessG1343 withoutG5565 works,G2041
7
Saying, BlessedG3107 are they whoseG3739 iniquitiesG458 are forgiven,G863 and whoseG3739 sinsG266 are covered.G1943
8
BlessedG3107 is the manG435 to whomG3739 the LordG2962 will not imputeG3049 sin.G266
9
Comes thisG3778 blessednessG3108 thenG3767 on the circumcisionG4061 only, orG2228 on the uncircumcisionG203 also?G2532 for we sayG3004 that faithG4102 was reckonedG3049 to AbrahamG11 for righteousness.G1343
10
HowG4459 was it thenG3767 reckoned?G3049 when he was in circumcision,G4061 orG2228 in uncircumcision?G203 Not in circumcision,G4061 but in uncircumcision.G203
11
And he receivedG2983 the signG4592 of circumcision,G4061 a sealG4973 of the righteousnessG1343 of the faithG4102 whichG3588 he had yet being uncircumcised:G1722 G3588 G203 that he might be the fatherG3962 of allG3956 them that believe,G4100 thoughG1223 they be not circumcised;G203 that righteousnessG1343 might be imputedG3049 to them also:G2532
12
And the fatherG3962 of circumcisionG4061 to them whoG3588 are not of the circumcisionG4061 only,G3440 but whoG3588 alsoG2532 walkG4748 in the stepsG2487 of that faithG4102 of our fatherG3962 Abraham,G11 which he had being yet uncircumcised.G1722
13
For the promise,G1860 that he should be the heirG2818 of the world,G2889 was not to Abraham,G11 orG2228 to his seed,G4690 throughG1223 the law,G3551 but throughG1223 the righteousnessG1343 of faith.G4102
14
For ifG1487 they which are of the lawG3551 be heirs,G2818 faithG4102 is madeG2758 void,G2758 and the promiseG1860 madeG2673 of noneG2673 effect:G2673
15
BecauseG1063 the lawG3551 worksG2716 wrath:G3709 for whereG3757 noG3756 lawG3551 is, there is noG3761 transgression.G3847
16
ThereforeG1233 G5124 it is of faith,G4102 that it might be by grace;G5485 to the endG1519 the promiseG1860 might be sureG949 to allG3956 the seed;G4690 not to that onlyG3440 which is of the law,G3551 but to that alsoG2532 which is of the faithG4102 of Abraham;G11 whoG3739 is the fatherG3962 of us all,G3956
17
(As it is written,G1125 I have madeG5087 you a fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nations,G1484) beforeG2713 him whomG3739 he believed,G4100 even God,G2316 whoG3588 vivifiesG2227 the dead,G3498 and callsG2564 thoseG3588 things which be not as though they were.
18
WhoG3739 againstG3844 hopeG1680 believedG4100 in hope,G1680 that he might becomeG1096 the fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nations,G1484 accordingG2596 to that which was spoken,G2046 SoG3779 shall your seedG4690 be.
19
And being not weakG770 in faith,G4102 he consideredG2657 not his ownG1438 bodyG4983 nowG2236 dead,G3499 when he was aboutG4225 an hundredG1541 yearsG1541 old,G1541 neither yet the deadnessG3500 of Sarah'sG4564 womb:G3388
20
He staggeredG1252 not atG1519 the promiseG1860 of GodG2316 through unbelief;G570 but was strongG1743 in faith,G4102 giving gloryG1391 to God;G2316
21
And being fullyG4135 persuadedG4135 that, whatG3739 he had promised,G1861 he was ableG1415 alsoG2532 to perform.G4160
22
And thereforeG1352 it was imputedG3049 to him for righteousness.G1343
23
NowG1161 it was not writtenG1125 for his sake alone,G3440 that it was imputedG3049 to him;
24
But for us also,G2532 to whomG3739 it shall be imputed,G3049 if we believeG4100 onG1909 him that raisedG1453 up JesusG2424 our LordG2962 from the dead;G3498
25
WhoG3739 was deliveredG3860 for our offenses,G3900 and was raisedG1453 againG1453 for our justification.G1347
