Romans 4

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

What, then, will we say Abraham our father to have found, according to flesh?

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

For if Abraham was declared righteous by works, he has to boast—but not before God;

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

for what does the writing say? “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness”;

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

and to him who is working, the reward is not reckoned of grace, but of debt;

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

and to him who is not working, and is believing on Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned for righteousness—

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

even as David also speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works:

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

“Blessed [are] they whose lawless acts were forgiven, And whose sins were covered;

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

Blessed [is] the man To whom the LORD may not reckon sin.”

9 [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.

[Is] this blessedness, then, on the circumcision, or also on the uncircumcision—for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness?

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

How then was it reckoned? He being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision;

11 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,

and he received a sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them,

12 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.

and father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of faith, that [is] in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.

13 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.

For not through law [is] the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith;

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

for if they who are of law [are] heirs, faith has been made void, and the promise has been made useless;

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

for the Law works wrath; for where law is not, neither [is] transgression.

16 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 —

Because of this [it is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which [is] of the Law only, but also to that which [is] of the faith of Abraham,

17 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;

who is father of us all (according as it has been written: “A father of many nations I have set you,”) before Him whom he believed—God, who is quickening the dead, and is calling the things that are not as being.

18 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;

Who, against hope, believed in hope, for his becoming father of many nations according to that spoken: “So will your seed be”;

19 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,

and having not been weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already become dead (being about one hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb,

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

and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God,

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

and having been fully persuaded that what He has promised He is also able to do:

22 Therefore also it was credited to him unto righteousness.

for this reason also it was reckoned to him for righteousness.

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

And it was not written on his account alone that it was reckoned to him,

24 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,

but also on ours, to whom it is about to be reckoned—to us believing on Him who raised up Jesus our Lord out of the dead,

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

who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous.
