King James Version
What then
shall we say that Abraham ,
our forefather
, hath
found
according
to the flesh?
What shall we say then
that Abraham our father
, as
pertaining
to the flesh ,
hath
found
?
For if Abraham was
justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward
God.
For if Abraham were
justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before
God.
For what saith the scripture? And
Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned
unto him for righteousness.
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted
unto him for righteousness.
Now to him that worketh ,
the reward is
not reckoned as
of grace, but as
of debt.
Now to him that worketh is
the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned
for righteousness.
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted
for righteousness.
Even as David also pronounceth
blessing
upon
the man, unto whom God reckoneth
righteousness apart
from
works,
Even as David also describeth
the blessedness
of
the
man, unto whom God imputeth
righteousness without
works,
`
saying '
, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, And whose sins are covered.
Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man to whom ,
the Lord will not reckon
sin.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute
sin.
Is
this blessing
then pronounced
upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say ,
To
Abraham
his
faith was reckoned for righteousness.
Cometh
this blessedness
then upon the circumcision only
, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that
faith was reckoned to
Abraham
for righteousness.
How then
was it reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision :
How was it then
reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision .
and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while
he
was
in
uncircumcision;
that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be in
uncircumcision,
that righteousness might be reckoned
unto them ;
And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet
being
uncircumcised:
that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not
circumcised;
that righteousness might be imputed
unto them also:
and the father of circumcision to them who not
only
are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he had in
uncircumcision
.
And the father of circumcision to them who are not
of the circumcision only
, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham ,
which he had being
yet
uncircumcised
.
For not
through
the law
was
the
promise to
Abraham
or
to
his
seed
that he should be heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.
For the promise ,
that he should be the
heir of the world, was
not
to
Abraham,
or
to
his
seed,
through
the
law,
but through the righteousness of faith.
For if they that
are of the law are
heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is
made of none effect:
For if they which
are of the law be
heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
for
the law worketh wrath ;
but
where there
is
no law ,
neither
is there transgression.
Because
the law worketh wrath :
for
where no law is ,
there is
no
transgression.
For
this
cause
`
it is '
of faith, that `
it may
be '
according
to
grace; to the end that
the promise may
be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham ,
who is the father of us all
Therefore
it is of faith, that it might
be by
grace; to the end the promise might
be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham ;
who is the father of us all ,
(as it is written, A father of many nations have
I
made
thee
) before him whom he believed, `
even '
God, who giveth
life
to
the dead, and calleth the
things that
are
not ,
as though they were.
(As it is written, I
have
made
thee
a father of many nations ,
) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth
the dead, and calleth those
things which
be
not as though they were.
Who in
hope believed against
hope, to
the
end
that he might become a
father of many nations, according to that which had
been
spoken, So shall thy seed be.
Who against
hope believed in
hope, that he might become the
father of many nations, according to that which was
spoken, So shall thy seed be.
And without
being weakened
in faith he considered his own body now as
good
as
dead (
he being
about a
hundred years old )
, and
the deadness of Sarah's womb ;
And being not
weak
in faith ,
he considered not
his own body now dead ,
when
he was
about an
hundred years old, neither
yet
the deadness of Sarah's womb :
yet,
looking
unto
the promise of God ,
he
wavered
not
through unbelief ,
but waxed
strong through
faith, giving glory to God ,
He
staggered
not
at
the promise of God through unbelief ;
but was
strong in
faith, giving glory to God ;
and being fully assured
that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
And being fully persuaded
that ,
what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
Wherefore
also
it was reckoned
unto
him for righteousness.
And
therefore
it was imputed
to
him for righteousness.
Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned
unto
him;
Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed
to
him;
but for our
sake
also, unto
whom it shall be reckoned
, who
believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead ,
But for us
also, to
whom it shall be imputed
, if
we
believe on him that raised up
Jesus our Lord from the dead ;
who was delivered up
for our trespasses
, and was raised for our justification.
Who was delivered for our offences
, and was raised again
for our justification.
