RO-4:1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as

pertaining to the flesh, hath found?

RO-4:2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath [whereof]

to glory; but not before God.

RO-4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and

it was counted unto him for righteousness.

RO-4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of

grace, but of debt.

RO-4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that

justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

RO-4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man,

unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

RO-4:7 [Saying], Blessed [are] they whose iniquities are

forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

RO-4:8 Blessed [is] the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

RO-4:9 [Cometh] this blessedness then upon the circumcision

[only], or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith

was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

RO-4:10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision,

or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

RO-4:11 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:

RO-4:12 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.

RO-4:13 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.

RO-4:14 For if they which are of the law [be] heirs, faith is

made void, and the promise made of none effect:

RO-4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is,

[there is] no transgression.

RO-4:16 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,

RO-4:17 (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.

RO-4:18 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.

RO-4:19 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:

RO-4:20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief;

but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

RO-4:21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he

was able also to perform.

RO-4:22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

RO-4:23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was

imputed to him;

RO-4:24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we

believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

RO-4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again

for our justification.
