Romans 4
4:1What then shall we say Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?
4:2For if Abraham was justified of works, he has boasting, but not towards God.
4:3For what does the scripture say? But Abraham trusted in God, and it was imputed to him for righteousness.
4:4And to the one working, the wage is not considered according to favor, but according to the debt.
4:5But to the one not working, but trusts upon the one justifying the impious, his belief is imputed for righteousness.
4:6Just as also David says about the blessing of the man to whom God imputes righteousness separate from works.
4:7Blessed whom the lawless deeds were forgiven, and whom the sins were covered over.
4:8Blessed is a man in whom in no way the Lord should impute sin.
4:9Is this blessing then upon the circumcision or also upon the uncircumcision? For we say that the belief was imputed to Abraham for righteousness.
4:10How then was it imputed? being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
4:11And he received the sign of circumcision as seal of the righteousness of the belief of the one in the uncircumcision, for him to be father of all of the ones trusting through uncircumcision, for the righteousness to be imputed also to them;
4:12and father of circumcision to the ones not of circumcision only, but also to the ones conforming to the tracks of the belief to the ones in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.
4:13For not through law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed, for him to be heir of the world, but through righteousness of belief.
4:14For if the ones from the law be heirs, the belief is empty, and the promise ceases to work.
4:15For the law manufactures wrath; for where there is no law, not even is there a violation.
4:16On account of this it is of belief, that according to favor, for the promise to be firm to all the seed, not to the one of the law only, but also to the one of belief of Abraham, who is father of all of us,
4:17(as it has been written, that, I have established you father of many nations,) in front of which he trusted God, of the one restoring the dead to life, and calling the ones not being, as being;
4:18who against hope trusted upon hope, for him to become father of many nations; according to the thing being said, So shall your seed be.
4:19And not being weak in the belief, he did not contemplate his own body already deadened, being somewhere about a hundred years old, and the deadening of the womb of Sarah.
4:20And at the promise of God he did not examine by unbelief, but was empowered in the belief, giving glory to God,
4:21and having full assurance that what he has promised, he is able also to do.
4:22Therefore also it was imputed to him for righteousness.
4:23But it was not written on account of him only, that -- it was imputed to him,
4:24but also on account of us, to the ones whom it was about to be imputed, to the ones trusting upon the one having raised Jesus our Lord from the dead;
4:25who was delivered up on account of our transgressions, and was raised on account of our justification.
