Romans 4:1-25

What
<5101>
shall we say
<2046> (5692)
then
<3767>
that Abraham
<11>
our
<2257>
father
<3962>_,
as pertaining
<2596>
to the flesh
<4561>_,
hath found
<2147> (5760)_?
For
<1063>
if
<1487>
Abraham
<11>
were justified
<1344> (5681)
by
<1537>
works
<2041>_,
he hath
<2192> (5719)
[whereof] to glory
<2745>_;
but
<235>
not
<3756>
before
<4314>
God
<2316>_.
For
<1063>
what
<5101>
saith
<3004> (5719)
the scripture
<1124>_?

<1161>
Abraham
<11>
believed
<4100> (5656)
God
<2316>_,
and
<2532>
it was counted
<3049> (5681)
unto him
<846>
for
<1519>
righteousness
<1343>_.
Now
<1161>
to him that worketh
<2038> (5740)
is
<3049> (0)
the reward
<3408>
not
<3756>
reckoned
<3049> (5736)
of
<2596>
grace
<5485>_,
but
<235>
of
<2596>
debt
<3783>_.
But
<1161>
to him that worketh
<2038> (5740)
not
<3361>_,
but
<1161>
believeth
<4100> (5723)
on
<1909>
him that justifieth
<1344> (5723)
the ungodly
<765>_,
his
<846>
faith
<4102>
is counted
<3049> (5736)
for
<1519>
righteousness
<1343>_.
Even as
<2509>
David
<1138>
also
<2532>
describeth
<3004> (5719)
the blessedness
<3108>
of the man
<444>_,
unto whom
<3739>
God
<2316>
imputeth
<3049> (5736)
righteousness
<1343>
without
<5565>
works
<2041>_,
[Saying], Blessed
<3107>
[are] they whose
<3739>
iniquities
<458>
are forgiven
<863> (5681)_,
and
<2532>
whose
<3739>
sins
<266>
are covered
<1943> (5681)_.
Blessed
<3107>
[is] the man
<435>
to whom
<3739>
the Lord
<2962>
will
<3049> (0)
not
<3364>
impute
<3049> (5667)
sin
<266>_.
[Cometh] this
<3778>
blessedness
<3108>
then
<3767>
upon
<1909>
the circumcision
<4061>
[only], or
<2228>
upon
<1909>
the uncircumcision
<203>
also
<2532>_?
for
<1063>
we say
<3004> (5719)
that
<3754>
faith
<4102>
was reckoned
<3049> (5681)
to Abraham
<11>
for
<1519>
righteousness
<1343>_.
How
<4459>
was it
<3049> (0)
then
<3767>
reckoned
<3049> (5681)_?
when he was
<5607> (5752)
in
<1722>
circumcision
<4061>_,
or
<2228>
in
<1722>
uncircumcision
<203>_?
Not
<3756>
in
<1722>
circumcision
<4061>_,
but
<235>
in
<1722>
uncircumcision
<203>_.
And
<2532>
he received
<2983> (5627)
the sign
<4592>
of circumcision
<4061>_,
a seal
<4973>
of the righteousness
<1343>
of the faith
<4102>
which
<3588>
[he had yet] being
<1722>
uncircumcised
<203>_:
that
<1519>
he
<846>
might be
<1511> (5750)
the father
<3962>
of all
<3956>
them that believe
<4100> (5723)_,
though
<1223>
they be not circumcised
<203>_;
that
<1519>
righteousness
<1343>
might be imputed
<3049> (5683)
unto them
<846>
also
<2532>_:
And
<2532>
the father
<3962>
of circumcision
<4061>
to them who are not
<3756>
of
<1537>
the circumcision
<4061>
only
<3440>_,
but
<235>
who also
<2532>
walk
<4748> (5723)
in the steps
<2487>
of that faith
<4102>
of our
<2257>
father
<3962>
Abraham
<11>_,
which [he had] being
<1722>
[yet] uncircumcised
<203>_.
For
<1063>
the promise
<1860>_,
that he should be
<1511> (5750)
the
<846>
heir
<2818>
of the world
<2889>_,
[was] not
<3756>
to Abraham
<11>_,
or
<2228>
to his
<846>
seed
<4690>_,
through
<1223>
the law
<3551>_,
but
<235>
through
<1223>
the righteousness
<1343>
of faith
<4102>_.
For
<1063>
if
<1487>
they which are of
<1537>
the law
<3551>
[be] heirs
<2818>_,
faith
<4102>
is made void
<2758> (5769)_,
and
<2532>
the promise
<1860>
made of none effect
<2673> (5769)_:
Because
<1063>
the law
<3551>
worketh
<2716> (5736)
wrath
<3709>_:
for
<1063>
where
<3757>
no
<3756>
law
<3551>
is
<2076> (5748)_,
[there is] no
<3761>
transgression
<3847>_.
Therefore
<1223> <5124>
[it is] of
<1537>
faith
<4102>_,
that
<2443>
[it might be] by
<2596>
grace
<5485>_;
to the end
<1519>
the promise
<1860>
might be
<1511> (5750)
sure
<949>
to all
<3956>
the seed
<4690>_;
not
<3756>
to that only
<3440>
which is of
<1537>
the law
<3551>_,
but
<235>
to that also
<2532>
which is of
<1537>
the faith
<4102>
of Abraham
<11>_;
who
<3739>
is
<2076> (5748)
the father
<3962>
of us
<2257>
all
<3956>_,
(As
<2531>
it is written
<1125> (5769)_,

<3754>
I have made
<5087> (5758)
thee
<4571>
a father
<3962>
of many
<4183>
nations
<1484>,)
before
<2713>
him whom
<3739>
he believed
<4100> (5656)_,
[even] God
<2316>_,
who quickeneth
<2227> (5723)
the dead
<3498>_,
and
<2532>
calleth
<2564> (5723)
those things which be
<5607> (5752)
not
<3361>
as though
<5613>
they were
<5607> (5752)_.
{before him: or, like unto him}
Who
<3739>
against
<3844>
hope
<1680>
believed
<4100> (5656)
in
<1909>
hope
<1680>_,
that
<1519>
he
<846>
might become
<1096> (5635)
the father
<3962>
of many
<4183>
nations
<1484>_,
according
<2596>
to that which was spoken
<2046> (5772)_,
So
<3779>
shall
<2071> (0)
thy
<4675>
seed
<4690>
be
<2071> (5704)_.
And
<2532>
being not
<3361>
weak
<770> (5660)
in faith
<4102>_,
he considered
<2657> (5656)
not
<3756>
his own
<1438>
body
<4983>
now
<2235>
dead
<3499> (5772)_,
when he was
<5225> (5723)
about
<4225>
an hundred years old
<1541>_,
neither yet
<2532>
the deadness
<3500>
of Sara's
<4564>
womb
<3388>_:
<1161>@ He staggered
<1252> (5681)
not
<3756>
at
<1519>
the promise
<1860>
of God
<2316>
through unbelief
<570>_;
but
<235>
was strong
<1743> (5681)
in faith
<4102>_,
giving
<1325> (5631)
glory
<1391>
to God
<2316>_;
And
<2532>
being fully persuaded
<4135> (5685)
that
<3754>_,
what
<3739>
he had promised
<1861> (5766)_,
he was
<2076> (5748)
able
<1415>
also
<2532>
to perform
<4160> (5658)_.
And
<2532>
therefore
<1352>
it was imputed
<3049> (5681)
to him
<846>
for
<1519>
righteousness
<1343>_.
Now
<1161>
it was
<1125> (0)
not
<3756>
written
<1125> (5648)
for his sake
<1223> <846>
alone
<3440>_,
that
<3754>
it was imputed
<3049> (5681)
to him
<846>_;
But
<235>
for
<1223>
us
<2248>
also
<2532>_,
to whom
<3739>
it shall be
<3195> (5719)
imputed
<3049> (5745)_,
if we believe
<4100> (5723)
on
<1909>
him that raised up
<1453> (5660)
Jesus
<2424>
our
<2257>
Lord
<2962>
from
<1537>
the dead
<3498>_;
Who
<3739>
was delivered
<3860> (5681)
for
<1223>
our
<2257>
offences
<3900>_,
and
<2532>
was raised again
<1453> (5681)
for
<1223>
our
<2257>
justification
<1347>_.
