Romains 4

1What^G5101 then^G3767 shall we say^G2046 that Abraham^G11, our^G2257 forefather^G3962, hath found^G2147 according to^G2596 the flesh^G4561? 2For^G1063 if^G1487 Abraham^G11 was justified^G1344 by^G1537 works^G2041, he hath^G2192 whereof to glory^G2745; but^G235 not^G3756 toward^G4314 God^G2316. 3For^G1063 what^G5101 saith^G3004 the scripture^G1161? And Abraham^G11 believed^G4100 God^G2316, and^G2532 it was reckoned^G3049 unto him^G846 for^G1519 righteousness^G1343. 4Now^G1161 to him that worketh^G2038, the reward^G3408 is^G3049 not^G3756 reckoned^G3049 as of^G2596 grace^G5485, but^G235 as of^G2596 debt^G3783. 5But^G1161 to him that worketh^G2038 not^G3361, but^G1161 believeth^G4100 on^G1909 him that justifieth^G1344 the ungodly^G765, his^G846 faith^G4102 is reckoned^G3049 for^G1519 righteousness^G1343. 6Even as^G2509 David^G1138 also^G2532 pronounceth^G3004 blessing^G3108 upon the man^G444, unto whom^G3739 God^G2316 reckoneth^G3049 righteousness^G1343 apart^G5565 from works^G2041, 7 saying, Blessed^G3107 are they whose^G3739 iniquities^G458 are forgiven^G863, And^G2532 whose^G3739 sins^G266 are covered^G1943. 8Blessed^G3107 is the man^G435 to whom^G3739, the Lord^G2962 will^G3049 not^G3361 reckon^G3049 sin^G266. 9Is this^G3778 blessing^G3108 then^G3767 pronounced upon^G1909 the circumcision^G4061, or^G2228 upon^G1909 the uncircumcision^G203 also^G2532? for^G1063 we say^G3004, To Abraham^G11 his faith^G4102 was reckoned^G3049 for^G1519 righteousness^G1343. 10How^G4459 then^G3767 was it^G3049 reckoned^G3049? when he was^G5607 in^G1722 circumcision^G4061, or^G2228 in^G1722 uncircumcision^G203? Not^G3756 in^G1722 circumcision^G4061, but^G235 in^G1722 uncircumcision^G203: 11and^G2532 he received^G2983 the sign^G4592 of circumcision^G4061, a seal^G4973 of the righteousness^G1343 of the faith^G4102 which^G1722 he had while he was in^G1722 uncircumcision^G203; that^G1519 he^G846 might be^G1511 the father^G3962 of all^G3956 them that believe^G4100, though they be^G1223 in uncircumcision^G203, that^G1519 righteousness^G1343 might be reckoned^G3049 unto^G2532 them^G846; 12and^G2532 the father^G3962 of circumcision^G4061 to them who not^G3756 only^G3440 are^G3588 of^G1537 the circumcision^G4061, but^G235 who^G4748 also^G2532 walk^G4748 in the steps^G2487 of^G3962 that faith^G4102 of^G3962 our^G2257 father^G3962 Abraham^G11 which^G1722 he had in uncircumcision^G203. 13For^G1063 not^G3756 through^G1223 the law^G3551 was the promise^G1860 to Abraham^G11 or^G2228 to^G4690 his^G846 seed^G4690 that he^G846 should be^G1511 heir^G2818 of the world^G2889, but^G235 through^G1223 the righteousness^G1343 of faith^G4102. 14For^G1063 if^G1487 they that are^G3588 of^G1537 the law^G3551 are heirs^G2818, faith^G4102 is made void^G2758, and^G2532 the promise^G1860 is made of none effect^G2673: 15for^G1063 the law^G3551 worketh^G2716 wrath^G3709; but^G1063 where^G3757 there is^G2076 no^G3756 law^G3551, neither^G3761 is there transgression^G3847. 16For^G1223 this^G5124 cause it is of^G1537 faith^G4102, that^G2443 it may be according^G2596 to grace^G5485; to the end^G1519 that the promise^G1860 may be^G1511 sure^G949 to all^G3956 the seed^G4690; not^G3756 to that^G3588 only^G3440 which is of^G1537 the law^G3551, but^G235 to that^G3588 also^G2532 which is of^G1537 the faith^G4102 of Abraham^G11, who^G3739 is^G2076 the father^G3962 of us^G2257 all^G3956 17(as^G2531 it is written^G1125, A father^G3962 of many^G4183 nations^G1484 have I made^G5087 thee^G4571) before^G2713 him whom^G3739 he believed^G4100, even God^G2316, who giveth life^G2227 to the dead^G3498, and^G2532 calleth^G2564 the things that are^G5607 not^G3361, as^G5613 though they were^G5607. 18Who^G3739 in^G1909 hope^G1680 believed^G4100 against^G3844 hope^G1680, to the end that^G1519 he^G846 might become^G1096 a father^G3962 of many^G4183 nations^G1484, according to^G2596 that which had been spoken^G2046, So^G3779 shall^G2071 thy^G4675 seed^G4690 be^G2071. 19And^G2532 without^G3361 being^G770 weakened^G770 in faith^G4102 he considered^G2657 his own^G1438 body^G4983 now^G2235 as good as dead^G3499 (he being about^G4225 a hundred years old^G1541), and^G2532 the deadness^G3500 of^G3388 Sarah's^G4564 womb^G5225; 20yet, looking unto^G1519 the promise^G1860 of God^G2316, he wavered^G1252 not^G3756 through unbelief^G570, but^G235 waxed strong^G1743 through faith^G4102, giving^G1325 glory^G1391 to God^G2316, 21and^G2532 being fully assured^G4135 that^G3754 what^G3739 he had promised^G1861, he was^G2076 able^G1415 also^G2532 to perform^G4160. 22Wherefore^G1352 also it was reckoned^G3049 unto him^G846 for^G1519 righteousness^G1343. 23Now^G1161 it was^G1125 not^G3756 written^G1125 for^G1223 his^G846 sake^G1223 alone^G3440, that^G3754 it was reckoned^G3049 unto him^G846; 24but^G235 for^G1223 our sake^G2248 also^G2532, unto whom^G3739 it shall^G3195 be reckoned^G3049, who^G3588 believe^G4100 on^G1909 him that raised^G1453 Jesus^G2424 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 from^G1537 the dead^G3498, 25who^G3739 was delivered^G3860 up for^G1223 our^G2257 trespasses^G3900, and^G2532 was raised^G1453 for^G1223 our^G2257 justification^G1347.
