Romans

Chapter 4

1 WHAT then shall we say concerning Abraham, the chief of our forefathers, who lived according to the flesh before God called him?

2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he had reason to be proud; but not before God.

3 For what said the scripture? Abraham believed in God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.

4 But to him who works, wages are not considered as a favor but as that which is due to him.

5 And to him who works not, but only believes in him who justifies sinners, his faith is counted for righteousness.

6 Just as David also said about the blessedness of the man, whom God declared righteous without works,

7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are wiped away.

8 Blessed is the man whose sins God will not hold against him.

9 Now, therefore, is this blessedness on account of circumcision, or on account of uncircumcision? for we say that Abraham's faith was accounted to him for righteousness.

10 How then was it given to him? by means of circumcision, or in uncircumcision? It was not given in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

11 For he received circumcision as a sign and a seal of the righteousness of his faith while he was uncircumcised: that he might become the father of all them who believe, though they be not circumcised, that righteousness might be given to them also;

12 So that the father of circumcision is not only to those who are of circumcision, but also to those who walk in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham while he was yet uncircumcised.

13 For the promise to Abraham and his seed that he should inherit the world was not made through the law, but through the righteousness of his faith.

14 For if they had become heirs by means of the law, then faith would have been empty and the promise made of no effect.

15 For the law causes provocation; for where there is no law, there is no transgression.

16 Therefore it is by faith that we will be justified by grace; so that the promise might be sure to all his seed; not only to him who is of the law, but also to him who is of the faith of Abraham who is the father of us all,

17 As it is written, I have made you a father of many peoples, in the presence of the God in whom you have believed, who quickens the dead, and who invites those who are not yet in being, as though they were present.

18 For he who was hopeless trusted in hope, that he might become the father of many peoples, as it is written, So shall your seed be.

19 His faith never weakened even when he examined his old body when he was a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb.

20 He did not doubt the promise of God as one who lacks faith; but his faith gave him strength, and he gave glory to God.

21 He felt assured that what God had promised him, God was able to fulfill.

22 Therefore it was given to him for righteousness.

23 That his faith was given for righteousness, was not written for his sake alone,

24 But for us also, for he will number us also, who believe in him who raised our LORD Jesus Christ from the dead;

25 Who was delivered up for our offences and arose that he might justify us.

Chapter 4

1 What5101 shall we say2046 then3767 that Abraham11 our father,3962 as pertaining to the flesh,4561 has found?2147

2 For if1487 Abraham11 were justified1344 by works,2041 he has2192 whereof to glory;2745 but not before4314 God.2316

3 For what5101 said3004 the scripture?1124 Abraham11 believed4100 God,2316 and it was counted3049 to him for righteousness.1343

4 Now1161 to him that works2038 is the reward3408 not reckoned3049 of grace,5485 but of debt.3783

5 But to him that works2038 not, but believes4100 on1909 him that justifies1344 the ungodly,765 his faith4102 is counted3049 for righteousness.1343

6 Even2509 as David1138 also2532 describes3004 the blessedness3108 of the man,444 to whom3739 God2316 imputes3049 righteousness1343 without5565 works,2041

7 Saying, Blessed3107 are they whose3739 iniquities458 are forgiven,863 and whose3739 sins266 are covered.1943

8 Blessed3107 is the man435 to whom3739 the Lord2962 will not impute3049 sin.266

9 Comes this3778 blessedness3108 then3767 on the circumcision4061 only, or2228 on the uncircumcision203 also?2532 for we say3004 that faith4102 was reckoned3049 to Abraham11 for righteousness.1343

10 How4459 was it then3767 reckoned?3049 when he was in circumcision,4061 or2228 in uncircumcision?203 Not in circumcision,4061 but in uncircumcision.203

11 And he received2983 the sign4592 of circumcision,4061 a seal4973 of the righteousness1343 of the faith4102 which3588 he had yet being uncircumcised:1722 3588 203 that he might be the father3962 of all3956 them that believe,4100 though1223 they be not circumcised;203 that righteousness1343 might be imputed3049 to them also:2532

12 And the father3962 of circumcision4061 to them who3588 are not of the circumcision4061 only,3440 but who3588 also2532 walk4748 in the steps2487 of that faith4102 of our father3962 Abraham,11 which he had being yet uncircumcised.1722

13 For the promise,1860 that he should be the heir2818 of the world,2889 was not to Abraham,11 or2228 to his seed,4690 through1223 the law,3551 but through1223 the righteousness1343 of faith.4102

14 For if1487 they which are of the law3551 be heirs,2818 faith4102 is made2758 void,2758 and the promise1860 made2673 of none2673 effect:2673

15 Because1063 the law3551 works2716 wrath:3709 for where3757 no3756 law3551 is, there is no3761 transgression.3847

16 Therefore1233 5124 it is of faith,4102 that it might be by grace;5485 to the end1519 the promise1860 might be sure949 to all3956 the seed;4690 not to that only3440 which is of the law,3551 but to that also2532 which is of the faith4102 of Abraham;11 who3739 is the father3962 of us all,3956

17 (As it is written,1125 I have made5087 you a father3962 of many4183 nations,1484) before2713 him whom3739 he believed,4100 even God,2316 who3588 vivifies2227 the dead,3498 and calls2564 those3588 things which be not as though they were.

18 Who3739 against3844 hope1680 believed4100 in hope,1680 that he might become1096 the father3962 of many4183 nations,1484 according2596 to that which was spoken,2046 So3779 shall your seed4690 be.

19 And being not weak770 in faith,4102 he considered2657 not his own1438 body4983 now2236 dead,3499 when he was about4225 an hundred1541 years1541 old,1541 neither yet the deadness3500 of Sarah's4564 womb:3388

20 He staggered1252 not at1519 the promise1860 of God2316 through unbelief;570 but was strong1743 in faith,4102 giving glory1391 to God;2316

21 And being fully4135 persuaded4135 that, what3739 he had promised,1861 he was able1415 also2532 to perform.4160

22 And therefore1352 it was imputed3049 to him for righteousness.1343

23 Now1161 it was not written1125 for his sake alone,3440 that it was imputed3049 to him;

24 But for us also,2532 to whom3739 it shall be imputed,3049 if we believe4100 on1909 him that raised1453 up Jesus2424 our Lord2962 from the dead;3498

25 Who3739 was delivered3860 for our offenses,3900 and was raised1453 again1453 for our justification.1347

Chapter 4

1 WHAT then shall we say concerning Abraham, the chief of our forefathers, who lived according to the flesh before God called him?

1 What5101 shall we say2046 then3767 that Abraham11 our father,3962 as pertaining to the flesh,4561 has found?2147

2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he had reason to be proud; but not before God.

2 For if1487 Abraham11 were justified1344 by works,2041 he has2192 whereof to glory;2745 but not before4314 God.2316

3 For what said the scripture? Abraham believed in God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.

3 For what5101 said3004 the scripture?1124 Abraham11 believed4100 God,2316 and it was counted3049 to him for righteousness.1343

4 But to him who works, wages are not considered as a favor but as that which is due to him.

4 Now1161 to him that works2038 is the reward3408 not reckoned3049 of grace,5485 but of debt.3783

5 And to him who works not, but only believes in him who justifies sinners, his faith is counted for righteousness.

5 But to him that works2038 not, but believes4100 on1909 him that justifies1344 the ungodly,765 his faith4102 is counted3049 for righteousness.1343

6 Just as David also said about the blessedness of the man, whom God declared righteous without works,

6 Even2509 as David1138 also2532 describes3004 the blessedness3108 of the man,444 to whom3739 God2316 imputes3049 righteousness1343 without5565 works,2041

7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are wiped away.

7 Saying, Blessed3107 are they whose3739 iniquities458 are forgiven,863 and whose3739 sins266 are covered.1943

8 Blessed is the man whose sins God will not hold against him.

8 Blessed3107 is the man435 to whom3739 the Lord2962 will not impute3049 sin.266

9 Now, therefore, is this blessedness on account of circumcision, or on account of uncircumcision? for we say that Abraham's faith was accounted to him for righteousness.

9 Comes this3778 blessedness3108 then3767 on the circumcision4061 only, or2228 on the uncircumcision203 also?2532 for we say3004 that faith4102 was reckoned3049 to Abraham11 for righteousness.1343

10 How then was it given to him? by means of circumcision, or in uncircumcision? It was not given in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

10 How4459 was it then3767 reckoned?3049 when he was in circumcision,4061 or2228 in uncircumcision?203 Not in circumcision,4061 but in uncircumcision.203

11 For he received circumcision as a sign and a seal of the righteousness of his faith while he was uncircumcised: that he might become the father of all them who believe, though they be not circumcised, that righteousness might be given to them also;

11 And he received2983 the sign4592 of circumcision,4061 a seal4973 of the righteousness1343 of the faith4102 which3588 he had yet being uncircumcised:1722 3588 203 that he might be the father3962 of all3956 them that believe,4100 though1223 they be not circumcised;203 that righteousness1343 might be imputed3049 to them also:2532

12 So that the father of circumcision is not only to those who are of circumcision, but also to those who walk in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham while he was yet uncircumcised.

12 And the father3962 of circumcision4061 to them who3588 are not of the circumcision4061 only,3440 but who3588 also2532 walk4748 in the steps2487 of that faith4102 of our father3962 Abraham,11 which he had being yet uncircumcised.1722

13 For the promise to Abraham and his seed that he should inherit the world was not made through the law, but through the righteousness of his faith.

13 For the promise,1860 that he should be the heir2818 of the world,2889 was not to Abraham,11 or2228 to his seed,4690 through1223 the law,3551 but through1223 the righteousness1343 of faith.4102

14 For if they had become heirs by means of the law, then faith would have been empty and the promise made of no effect.

14 For if1487 they which are of the law3551 be heirs,2818 faith4102 is made2758 void,2758 and the promise1860 made2673 of none2673 effect:2673

15 For the law causes provocation; for where there is no law, there is no transgression.

15 Because1063 the law3551 works2716 wrath:3709 for where3757 no3756 law3551 is, there is no3761 transgression.3847

16 Therefore it is by faith that we will be justified by grace; so that the promise might be sure to all his seed; not only to him who is of the law, but also to him who is of the faith of Abraham who is the father of us all,

16 Therefore1233 5124 it is of faith,4102 that it might be by grace;5485 to the end1519 the promise1860 might be sure949 to all3956 the seed;4690 not to that only3440 which is of the law,3551 but to that also2532 which is of the faith4102 of Abraham;11 who3739 is the father3962 of us all,3956

17 As it is written, I have made you a father of many peoples, in the presence of the God in whom you have believed, who quickens the dead, and who invites those who are not yet in being, as though they were present.

17 (As it is written,1125 I have made5087 you a father3962 of many4183 nations,1484) before2713 him whom3739 he believed,4100 even God,2316 who3588 vivifies2227 the dead,3498 and calls2564 those3588 things which be not as though they were.

18 For he who was hopeless trusted in hope, that he might become the father of many peoples, as it is written, So shall your seed be.

18 Who3739 against3844 hope1680 believed4100 in hope,1680 that he might become1096 the father3962 of many4183 nations,1484 according2596 to that which was spoken,2046 So3779 shall your seed4690 be.

19 His faith never weakened even when he examined his old body when he was a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb.

19 And being not weak770 in faith,4102 he considered2657 not his own1438 body4983 now2236 dead,3499 when he was about4225 an hundred1541 years1541 old,1541 neither yet the deadness3500 of Sarah's4564 womb:3388

20 He did not doubt the promise of God as one who lacks faith; but his faith gave him strength, and he gave glory to God.

20 He staggered1252 not at1519 the promise1860 of God2316 through unbelief;570 but was strong1743 in faith,4102 giving glory1391 to God;2316

21 He felt assured that what God had promised him, God was able to fulfill.

21 And being fully4135 persuaded4135 that, what3739 he had promised,1861 he was able1415 also2532 to perform.4160

22 Therefore it was given to him for righteousness.

22 And therefore1352 it was imputed3049 to him for righteousness.1343

23 That his faith was given for righteousness, was not written for his sake alone,

23 Now1161 it was not written1125 for his sake alone,3440 that it was imputed3049 to him;

24 But for us also, for he will number us also, who believe in him who raised our LORD Jesus Christ from the dead;

24 But for us also,2532 to whom3739 it shall be imputed,3049 if we believe4100 on1909 him that raised1453 up Jesus2424 our Lord2962 from the dead;3498

25 Who was delivered up for our offences and arose that he might justify us.

25 Who3739 was delivered3860 for our offenses,3900 and was raised1453 again1453 for our justification.1347
