Abraham's Justification by Faith
What shall we say then that Abraham our father according to flesh has found?
What shall we say then that Abraham our father according to flesh has found?
Abraham Justified by Faith
What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh?
What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh?
For if Abraham has been justified on the principle of works, he has whereof to boast: but not before God;
For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.
for what does the scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.
For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.”
Now to him that works the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but of debt:
Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due.
but to him who does not work, but believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.
Even as David also declares the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness without works:
just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
Blessed [they] whose lawlessnesses have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered:
“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
and whose sins are covered;
and whose sins are covered;
blessed [the] man to whom [the] Lord shall not at all reckon sin.
blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.”
[Does] this blessedness then [rest] on the circumcision, or also on the uncircumcision? For we say that faith has been reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.
Is this blessing then only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness.
How then has it been reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
How then was it counted to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after, but before he was circumcised.
And he received [the] sign of circumcision [as] seal of the righteousness of faith which [he had] being in uncircumcision, that he might be [the] father of all them that believe being in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned to them also;
He received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised, so that righteousness would be counted to them as well,
and father of circumcision, not only to those who are of [the] circumcision, but to those also who walk in the steps of the faith, during uncircumcision, of our father Abraham.
and to make him the father of the circumcised who are not merely circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
Abraham Receives the Promise
For [it was] not by law that the promise was to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of [the] world, but by righteousness of faith.
For [it was] not by law that the promise was to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of [the] world, but by righteousness of faith.
The Promise Realized Through Faith
For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith.
For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith.
For if they which [are] of law be heirs, faith is made vain, and the promise made of no effect.
For if it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void.
For law works wrath; but where no law is neither [is there] transgression.
For the law brings wrath, but where there is no law there is no transgression.
Therefore [it is] on the principle of faith, that [it might be] according to grace, in order to the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that only which [is] of the law, but to that also which [is] of Abraham's faith, who is father of us all,
That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his offspring — not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,
(according as it is written, I have made thee father of many nations,) before the God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls the things which be not as being;
as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations” — in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.
who against hope believed in hope to his becoming father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be:
In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, “So shall your offspring be.”
and not being weak in faith, he considered not his own body already become dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadening of Sarah's womb,
and hesitated not at the promise of God through unbelief; but found strength in faith, giving glory to God;
No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God,
and being fully persuaded that what he has promised he is able also to do;
fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.
wherefore also it was reckoned to him as righteousness.
That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.”
Now it was not written on his account alone that it was reckoned to him,
But the words “it was counted to him” were not written for his sake alone,
but on ours also, to whom, believing on him who has raised from among [the] dead Jesus our Lord,
but for ours also. It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord,
