CHAP. IV.
Abraham was not justified by
works, done as of himself:
but by grace, and by faith;
and that before he was
circumcised. Gentiles by
faith are his children.
1 What shall we say
then that Abraham
hath found, who is our father
according to the flesh?
2 For if Abraham were
justified note by works, he hath
whereof to glory, but note not
before God.
3 For what saith the scripture?
Abraham believed God,
and it was note reputed to him
unto justice.
4 Now note to him that
worketh, the reward is not
reckoned according to grace,
but according to debt.
5 But to him that worketh
not, yet believeth in him that
justifieth the ungodly, his faith
is reputed to justice according
to the purpose of the grace of
God.
6 As David also termeth
the blessedness of a man, to
whom God reputeth justice
without works:
7 Blessed are they, whose
-- --
iniquities are forgiven, and
whose sins are note covered.
8 Blessed is the man to
whom the Lord hath note not
imputed sin.
9 This blessedness then doth
it abide note in the circumcision
only, or in the uncircumcision
also? For we say
that faith was reputed to Abraham
unto justice.
10 How then was it reputed?
When he was in circumcision,
or in uncircumcision?
Not in circumcision, but in
uncircumcision.
11 And he received the
sign of circumcision, a seal of
the justice of the faith which
he had being uncircumcised:
that he might be the father
of all them that believed being
uncircumcised, that to
them also it may be reputed
to justice:
12 And might be the father
of circumcision, not to
them only that are of the circumcision,
but to them also
that follow the steps of the
faith, that our father Abraham
had, being as yet uncircumcised.
13 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 justice of faith.
14 For if they who are of
the law, note be heirs; faith
is made void, the promise is
made of no effect.
15 For note the law worketh
wrath. For where there
-- --
is no law; there is no transgression.
16 Therefore is it of faith,
that according to grace the
promise might be firm 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
17 (As it is written: I have
made thee a father of many
nations) before God, whom he
believed, who quickeneth the
dead, and calleth those things
that are not, as those that are.
18 Who against hope believed
in hope, that he might
be made the father of many
nations, according to that
which was said to him: So
shall thy seed be.
19 And he was not weak
in faith; neither did he consider
his own body now dead,
whereas he was almost a hundred
years old, nor the dead
womb of Sara.
20 In the promise also of
God he staggered not by distrust;
but was strengthened
in faith, giving glory to God:
21 Most fully knowing
that whatsoever he has promised,
he is able also to perform.
22 And therefore it was
reputed to him unto justice.
23 Now it is not written
only for him, that it was reputed
to him unto justice:
24 But for us also, to whom
it shall be reputed, if we believe
in him, that raised up
Jesus Christ our Lord
from the dead,
25 Who was delivered up
for our sins, and rose again
for our justification.
