World English Bible
What shall
we say then
that Abraham our father
, as
pertaining
to the flesh ,
hath
found
?
What then
will
we say that Abraham ,
our forefather
, has
found
according
to the flesh?
For if Abraham were
justified by works, he hath
whereof
to glory;
but not before
God.
For if Abraham was
justified by works, he has
something
to boast
about,
but not toward
God.
For what saith
the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted
unto
him for righteousness.
For what does
the Scripture say
? "
Abraham believed God, and it was accounted
to
him for righteousness. "
Now to him that
worketh
is
the reward not reckoned
of
grace, but of
debt.
Now to him who
works,
the reward is
not counted
as
grace, but as
debt.
But to him that
worketh
not
, but believeth
on
him that
justifieth
the ungodly, his faith is counted
for righteousness.
But to him who
doesn't
work
, but believes
in
him who
justifies
the ungodly, his faith is accounted
for righteousness.
Even as David also describeth
the
blessedness
of
the man ,
unto
whom God imputeth
righteousness without
works,
Even as David also pronounces
blessing
on
the man to
whom God counts
righteousness apart
from
works,
Saying,
Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and
whose sins are covered.
"
Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, Whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man to
whom the Lord will not
impute
sin.
Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by
no
means
charge
with
sin. "
Cometh
this blessedness
then upon
the circumcision
only
, or upon
the uncircumcision
also? for we say that faith was reckoned
to Abraham for righteousness.
Is
this blessing
then pronounced
on
the circumcised
, or on
the uncircumcised
also? For we say that faith was accounted
to Abraham for righteousness.
How was it then
reckoned
? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
How then
was it counted
? 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 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:
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 those
who
believe, though they be in
uncircumcision,
that righteousness might also
be accounted
to
them .
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
.
The father of circumcision to those
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
.
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 the promise to
Abraham
and
to
his
seed
that he should be heir of the world wasn't
through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
For if they
which
are of the law be
heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none
effect :
For if those
who
are of the law are
heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is
made of no
effect .
Because
the law worketh
wrath :
for where no law is
, there
is no
transgression
.
For
the law works
wrath ,
for where there
is
no law, neither
is there
disobedience
.
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 ,
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 .
(
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.
As it is written, "
I have made you
a father of many nations ."
This
is
in
the
presence
of
him whom he believed :
God, who gives
life
to
the dead, and calls
the
things that
are
not ,
as though they were.
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.
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 will
your
seed be. "
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 :
Without
being weakened
in faith, he didn't
consider
his own body, already
having
been
worn
out,
(
he being
about a
hundred years old )
, and
the deadness of Sarah's womb .
He
staggered
not
at
the promise of God through unbelief ;
but was
strong in
faith, giving glory to God ;
Yet,
looking
to
the promise of God ,
he
didn't
waver
through unbelief ,
but grew
strong through
faith, giving glory to God ,
And being fully persuaded
that ,
what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
and being fully assured
that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
And
therefore it was imputed
to him for righteousness.
Therefore it also
was "reckoned
to him for righteousness. "
Now it was not written for
his
sake
alone,
that it was imputed
to him ;
Now it was not written that it was accounted
to him for
his
sake
alone,
But for us
also, to whom it shall
be imputed
, if
we
believe on
him that
raised up
Jesus our Lord from the dead ;
but for our
sake
also, to whom it will
be accounted
, who
believe in
him who
raised Jesus ,
our Lord ,
from the dead ,
Who was delivered for our offences
, and was raised again
for our justification.
who was delivered up
for our trespasses
, and was raised for our justification.
