Romans 4

1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, has found?

What then will we say to have discovered Abraham the (ancestor *N+KO) of us according to [the] flesh?

2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he has whereof to glory; but not before God.

If for Abraham by works was justified, he has ground of boasting but not toward God.

3 For what says the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.

What for the Scripture says? Believed then Abraham in God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.

4 Now to him that works is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

To the [one] now working the reward not is reckoned according to grace but according to debt;

5 But to him that works not, but believes on him that justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

To the [one] however not working, believing however on the [One] justifying the ungodly, is reckoned the faith of him for righteousness.

6 Even as David also describes the blessedness of the man, to whom God imputes righteousness without works,

just as also David declares the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

Blessed [are] they of whom are forgiven the lawless deeds and of whom are covered the sins;

8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

blessed [is] [the] man (of whom *N+kO) certainly not may reckon [the] Lord sin.

9 Comes this blessedness then on the circumcision only, or on the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

[Is] the blessing then this on the circumcision or also on the uncircumcision? We are saying for (that: *k) was credited to Abraham the faith as righteousness.

10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

How then was it credited? In circumcision being or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision but in uncircumcision;

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 to them also:

And [the] sign he received of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith that [he had] [while] in the uncircumcision; for the to be him father of all those believing in uncircumcision, for to be credited also to them the righteousness,

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.

and father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only but also to those walking in the steps during (the *k) uncircumcision (of the *k) faith of the father of us Abraham.

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.

Not for through [the] Law [was] the promise to Abraham or to the descendants of him that heir he being (of the *k) world but through [the] righteousness of faith.

14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:

If for those of [the] Law [are] heirs, has been made void faith and has been nullified the promise;

15 Because the law works wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

For law wrath brings; where (now *N+kO) no there is law, neither [is] transgression.

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,

Therefore it [is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace, for to be sure the promise to all the seed, not to that of the law only but also to that of [the] faith of Abraham, who is [the] father of all of us —

17 (As it is written, I have made you a father of many nations, ) before him whom he believed, even God, who vivifies the dead, and calls those things which be not as though they were.

even as it has been written that A father of many nations I have made you, before whom he believed God, who is giving life to the dead and calling the [things] not [into] being as existing;

18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall your seed be.

who against hope in hope believed for to become him [the] father of many nations according to that spoken; So will be the offspring of you;

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:

And not having become weak in the faith (not *K) he considered his own body already expired, a hundred years old about being, and the lifelessness of the womb of Sarah,

20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

About however the promise of God not he did waver through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God

21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

and having been fully assured that what He has promised able He is also to do;

22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

Therefore also it was credited to him unto righteousness.

23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;

Not it was written now on account of him alone that it was credited to him,

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;

but also on account of us to whom it is about to be credited, to those believing on the [One] having raised Jesus the Lord of us out from [the] dead,

25 Who was delivered for our offenses, and was raised again for our justification.

who was delivered over for the trespasses of us and was raised for the justification of us.
