Romans 4

1

Whatg5101 shall we sayg2046g5692 theng3767 that Abrahamg11 ourg2257 fatherg3962, as pertainingg2596 to the fleshg4561, hath foundg2147g5760?

2

Forg1063 ifg1487 Abrahamg11 were justifiedg1344g5681 byg1537 worksg2041, he hathg2192g5719 whereof to gloryg2745; butg235 notg3756 beforeg4314 Godg2316.

3

Forg1063 whatg5101 saithg3004g5719 the scriptureg1124?g1161 Abrahamg11 believedg4100g5656 Godg2316, andg2532 it was countedg3049g5681 unto himg846 forg1519 righteousnessg1343.

4

Nowg1161 to him that workethg2038g5740 isg3049 the rewardg3408 notg3756 reckonedg3049g5736 ofg2596 graceg5485, butg235 ofg2596 debtg3783.

5

Butg1161 to him that workethg2038g5740 notg3361, butg1161 believethg4100g5723 ong1909 him that justifiethg1344g5723 the ungodlyg765, hisg846 faithg4102 is countedg3049g5736 forg1519 righteousnessg1343.

6

Even asg2509 Davidg1138 alsog2532 describethg3004g5719 the blessednessg3108 of the mang444, unto whomg3739 Godg2316 imputethg3049g5736 righteousnessg1343 withoutg5565 worksg2041,

7

Saying , Blessedg3107 are they whoseg3739 iniquitiesg458 are forgiveng863g5681, andg2532 whoseg3739 sinsg266 are coveredg1943g5681.

8

Blessedg3107 is the mang435 to whomg3739 the Lordg2962 willg3049 notg3364 imputeg3049g5667 sing266.

9

Cometh thisg3778 blessednessg3108 theng3767 upong1909 the circumcisiong4061 only , org2228 upong1909 the uncircumcisiong203 alsog2532? forg1063 we sayg3004g5719 thatg3754 faithg4102 was reckonedg3049g5681 to Abrahamg11 forg1519 righteousnessg1343.

10

Howg4459 was itg3049 theng3767 reckonedg3049g5681? when he wasg5607g5752 ing1722 circumcisiong4061, org2228 ing1722 uncircumcisiong203? Notg3756 ing1722 circumcisiong4061, butg235 ing1722 uncircumcisiong203.

11

Andg2532 he receivedg2983g5627 the signg4592 of circumcisiong4061, a sealg4973 of the righteousnessg1343 of the faithg4102 whichg3588 he had yet beingg1722 uncircumcisedg203: thatg1519 heg846 might beg1511g5750 the fatherg3962 of allg3956 them that believeg4100g5723, thoughg1223 they be not circumcisedg203; thatg1519 righteousnessg1343 might be imputedg3049g5683 unto themg846 alsog2532:

12

Andg2532 the fatherg3962 of circumcisiong4061 to them who are notg3756 ofg1537 the circumcisiong4061 onlyg3440, butg235 who alsog2532 walkg4748g5723 in the stepsg2487 of that faithg4102 of ourg2257 fatherg3962 Abrahamg11, which he had beingg1722 yet uncircumcisedg203.

13

Forg1063 the promiseg1860, that he should beg1511g5750 theg846 heirg2818 of the worldg2889, was notg3756 to Abrahamg11, org2228 to hisg846 seedg4690, throughg1223 the lawg3551, butg235 throughg1223 the righteousnessg1343 of faithg4102.

14

Forg1063 ifg1487 they which are ofg1537 the lawg3551 be heirsg2818, faithg4102 is made voidg2758g5769, andg2532 the promiseg1860 made of none effectg2673g5769:

15

Becauseg1063 the lawg3551 workethg2716g5736 wrathg3709: forg1063 whereg3757 nog3756 lawg3551 isg2076g5748, there is nog3761 transgressiong3847.

16

Thereforeg1223g5124 it is ofg1537 faithg4102, thatg2443 it might be byg2596 graceg5485; to the endg1519 the promiseg1860 might beg1511g5750 sureg949 to allg3956 the seedg4690; notg3756 to that onlyg3440 which is ofg1537 the lawg3551, butg235 to that alsog2532 which is ofg1537 the faithg4102 of Abrahamg11; whog3739 isg2076g5748 the fatherg3962 of usg2257 allg3956,

17

(Asg2531 it is writteng1125g5769,g3754 I have madeg5087g5758 theeg4571 a fatherg3962 of manyg4183 nationsg1484,) beforeg2713 him whomg3739 he believedg4100g5656, even Godg2316, who quickenethg2227g5723 the deadg3498, andg2532 callethg2564g5723 those things which beg5607g5752 notg3361 as thoughg5613 they wereg5607g5752. before him: or, like unto him

18

Whog3739 againstg3844 hopeg1680 believedg4100g5656 ing1909 hopeg1680, thatg1519 heg846 might becomeg1096g5635 the fatherg3962 of manyg4183 nationsg1484, accordingg2596 to that which was spokeng2046g5772, Sog3779 shallg2071 thyg4675 seedg4690 beg2071g5704.

19

Andg2532 being notg3361 weakg770g5660 in faithg4102, he consideredg2657g5656 notg3756 his owng1438 bodyg4983 nowg2235 deadg3499g5772, when he wasg5225g5723 aboutg4225 an hundred years oldg1541, neither yetg2532 the deadnessg3500 of Sara'sg4564 wombg3388:

20

g1161 He staggeredg1252g5681 notg3756 atg1519 the promiseg1860 of Godg2316 through unbeliefg570; butg235 was strongg1743g5681 in faithg4102, givingg1325g5631 gloryg1391 to Godg2316;

21

Andg2532 being fully persuadedg4135g5685 thatg3754, whatg3739 he had promisedg1861g5766, he wasg2076g5748 ableg1415 alsog2532 to performg4160g5658.

22

Andg2532 thereforeg1352 it was imputedg3049g5681 to himg846 forg1519 righteousnessg1343.

23

Nowg1161 it wasg1125 notg3756 writteng1125g5648 for his sakeg1223g846 aloneg3440, thatg3754 it was imputedg3049g5681 to himg846;

24

Butg235 forg1223 usg2248 alsog2532, to whomg3739 it shall beg3195g5719 imputedg3049g5745, if we believeg4100g5723 ong1909 him that raised upg1453g5660 Jesusg2424 ourg2257 Lordg2962 fromg1537 the deadg3498;

25

Whog3739 was deliveredg3860g5681 forg1223 ourg2257 offencesg3900, andg2532 was raised againg1453g5681 forg1223 ourg2257 justificationg1347.
