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?
Justification by Faith Evidenced in Old Testament
What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found?
What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found?
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 CREDITED 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 wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due.
but to him who does not work, but believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.
But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited 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 on the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
Blessed [they] whose lawlessnesses have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered:
“BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE LAWLESS DEEDS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN,
AND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED.
AND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED.
blessed [the] man to whom [the] Lord shall not at all reckon sin.
“BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT.”
[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 on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say, “FAITH WAS CREDITED 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 credited? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised;
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;
and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while uncircumcised, so that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised, that righteousness might be credited to them,
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 the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also follow in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham which he had while uncircumcised.
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.
For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was not 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 those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise is nullified;
For law works wrath; but where no law is neither [is there] transgression.
for the Law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, there also is no violation.
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,
For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of 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, “A FATHER OF MANY NATIONS HAVE I MADE YOU”) in the presence of Him whom he believed, even God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does 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 against hope he believed, so that he might become a father of many nations according to that which had been spoken, “SO SHALL YOUR DESCENDANTS 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,
Without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah’s womb;
and hesitated not at the promise of God through unbelief; but found strength in faith, giving glory to God;
yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God,
and being fully persuaded that what he has promised he is able also to do;
and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform.
wherefore also it was reckoned to him as righteousness.
Therefore IT WAS ALSO CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Now it was not written on his account alone that it was reckoned to him,
Now not for his sake only was it written that it was credited to him,
but on ours also, to whom, believing on him who has raised from among [the] dead Jesus our Lord,
but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
