1 What 5101 shall we say 2046 then 3767 that Abraham 11 our 2257 father 3962, as pertaining 2596 to the flesh 4561, hath found 2147?
2 For 1063 if 1487 Abraham 11 were justified 1344 by 1537 works 2041, he hath 2192 whereof to glory 2745; but 235 not 3756 before 4314 God 2316.
3 For 1063 what 5101 saith 3004 the scripture 1124? 1161 Abraham 11 believed 4100 God 2316, and 2532 it was counted 3049 unto him 846 for 1519 righteousness 1343.
4 Now 1161 to him that worketh 2038 is 3049 0 the reward 3408 not 3756 reckoned 3049 of 2596 grace 5485, but 235 of 2596 debt 3783.
5 But 1161 to him that worketh 2038 not 3361, but 1161 believeth 4100 on 1909 him that justifieth 1344 the ungodly 765, his 846 faith 4102 is counted 3049 for 1519 righteousness 1343.
6 Even as 2509 David 1138 also 2532 describeth 3004 the blessedness 3108 of the man 444, unto whom 3739 God 2316 imputeth 3049 righteousness 1343 without 5565 works 2041,
7 Saying, Blessed 3107 are they whose 3739 iniquities 458 are forgiven 863, and 2532 whose 3739 sins 266 are covered 1943.
8 Blessed 3107 is the man 435 to whom 3739 the Lord 2962 will 3049 0 not 3364 impute 3049 sin 266.
9 Cometh this 3778 blessedness 3108 then 3767 upon 1909 the circumcision 4061 only, or 2228 upon 1909 the uncircumcision 203 also 2532? for 1063 we say 3004 that 3754 faith 4102 was reckoned 3049 to Abraham 11 for 1519 righteousness 1343.
10 How 4459 was it 3049 0 then 3767 reckoned 3049? when he was 5607 in 1722 circumcision 4061, or 2228 in 1722 uncircumcision 203? Not 3756 in 1722 circumcision 4061, but 235 in 1722 uncircumcision 203.
11 And 2532 he received 2983 the sign 4592 of circumcision 4061, a seal 4973 of the righteousness 1343 of the faith 4102 which 3588 he had yet being 1722 uncircumcised 203: that 1519 he 846 might be 1511 the father 3962 of all 3956 them that believe 4100, though 1223 they be not circumcised 203; that 1519 righteousness 1343 might be imputed 3049 unto them 846 also 2532:
12 And 2532 the father 3962 of circumcision 4061 to them who are not 3756 of 1537 the circumcision 4061 only 3440, but 235 who also 2532 walk 4748 in the steps 2487 of that faith 4102 of our 2257 father 3962 Abraham 11, which he had being 1722 yet uncircumcised 203.
13 For 1063 the promise 1860, that he should be 1511 the heir 2818 of the world 2889, was not 3756 to Abraham 11, or 2228 to his 846 seed 4690, through 1223 the law 3551, but 235 through 1223 the righteousness 1343 of faith 4102.
14 For 1063 if 1487 they which are of 1537 the law 3551 be heirs 2818, faith 4102 is made void 2758, and 2532 the promise 1860 made of none effect 2673:
15 Because 1063 the law 3551 worketh 2716 wrath 3709: for 1063 where 3757 no 3756 law 3551 is 2076, there is no 3761 transgression 3847.
16 Therefore 1223 5124 it is of 1537 faith 4102, that 2443 it might be by 2596 grace 5485; to the end 1519 the promise 1860 might be 1511 sure 949 to all 3956 the seed 4690; not 3756 to that only 3440 which is of 1537 the law 3551, but 235 to that also 2532 which is of 1537 the faith 4102 of Abraham 11; who 3739 is 2076 the father 3962 of us 2257 all 3956,
17 (As 2531 it is written 1125, 3754 I have made 5087 thee 4571 a father 3962 of many 4183 nations 1484,) before 2713 him whom 3739 he believed 4100, even God 2316, who quickeneth 2227 the dead 3498, and 2532 calleth 2564 those things which be 5607 not 3361 as though 5613 they were 5607.
18 Who 3739 against 3844 hope 1680 believed 4100 in 1909 hope 1680, that 1519 he 846 might become 1096 the father 3962 of many 4183 nations 1484, according 2596 to that which was spoken 2046, So 3779 shall 2071 0 thy 4675 seed 4690 be 2071.
19 And 2532 being not 3361 weak 770 in faith 4102, he considered 2657 not 3756 his own 1438 body 4983 now 2235 dead 3499, when he was 5225 about 4225 an hundred years old 1541, neither yet 2532 the deadness 3500 of Sara's 4564 womb 3388:
20 1161 He staggered 1252 not 3756 at 1519 the promise 1860 of God 2316 through unbelief 570; but 235 was strong 1743 in faith 4102, giving 1325 glory 1391 to God 2316;
21 And 2532 being fully persuaded 4135 that 3754, what 3739 he had promised 1861, he was 2076 able 1415 also 2532 to perform 4160.
22 And 2532 therefore 1352 it was imputed 3049 to him 846 for 1519 righteousness 1343.
23 Now 1161 it was 1125 0 not 3756 written 1125 for his sake 1223 846 alone 3440, that 3754 it was imputed 3049 to him 846;
24 But 235 for 1223 us 2248 also 2532, to whom 3739 it shall be 3195 imputed 3049, if we believe 4100 on 1909 him that raised up 1453 Jesus 2424 our 2257 Lord 2962 from 1537 the dead 3498;
25 Who 3739 was delivered 3860 for 1223 our 2257 offences 3900, and 2532 was raised again 1453 for 1223 our 2257 justification 1347.
