\subsection{Romans 4}
\VS{1} What therefore will we say Abraham our forefather according to [the] flesh found? 
\VS{2} For if Abraham was justified by works, he has [a] boast, but not towards 
God. 
\VS{3} For what does the scripture\footnote{Gen.15:6} say? 

\begin{verse}
But Abraham believed God, \\
And it was reckoned to him for justness.
\end{verse}

\VS{4} Now to the [one] working, the reward is not reckoned according to grace 
but according to one's due. 
\VS{5} But to the [one] not working, but believing 
upon the [one] justifying the irreverent, his belief is reckoned to justness. 
\VS{6} Just as David says\footnote{Ps.32:1-2} [is] the blessedness of [the] man to whom God reckons 
justness apart from works:

\begin{verse}
\VS{7} Blessed [are they] whose lawlessness is forgiven \\
 and whose sins are covered.\\
\VS{8} Blessed [is the] man to whom [the] Lord \\
 will \negd{not} reckon sin. 
\end{verse}

\VS{9} [is] therefore this [one] blessed upon circumcision or upon uncircumcision? 
For we say, Faith was reckoned to Abraham for justness. 
\VS{10} How 
therefore is it reckoned? Being in circumcision or in uncircumcision? Not in 
circumcision but in uncircumcision. 
\VS{11} And he received [the] sign of 
circumcision [as] seal of the justness of faith [while yet] in uncircumcision, so justness 
was reckoned to him, 
\VS{12} and father of circumcision not only to those 
from circumcision, but also to those holding to the footsteps of the belief 
in uncircumcision, of our father Abraham. 
\VS{13} For the promise [was] to 
Abraham or to his seed --- [that] he be heir of the world --- [was] not through law, 
but through the justness by faith. 
\VS{14} For if [they are] heirs from law, faith is 
emptied and the promise nullified. 
\VS{15} For the law works wrath, for 
where there is no law, [there is] neither transgression. 
\VS{16} Because of this [it is] by 
faith, in order that it [be] according to grace, so that the promise be certain 
to all the seed, not to [those] by the law only, but also to [those] by faith [of] Abraham, 
who is father of us all. 
\VS{17} Just as it is written that: I have 
established you father of all nations, before whom he believed, [that is] God 
making-zoe-alive the dead and calling the [things] not being as [though] being; 
\VS{18} who beside hope 
upon hope he believed, so that he has become father of all nations according 
to the [thing] said: Thus will your seed be. 
\VS{19} And not having been weak in 
faith, he considered his body [as] being dead, having [about] [a] hundred years, and the 
deadness of Sarah's womb. 
\VS{20} But to the promise of God he did not doubt 
in disbelief, but was strong in faith, having given glory to God, 
\VS{21} 
and having been fully persuaded that what he promised, he is also able to 
do. 
\VS{22} Therefore it was reckoned to him for justness. 
\VS{23} Now it 
was not written because of him only, that: It was reckoned to him, 
\VS{24} 
but also because of us, to whom it is [about] to be reckoned, to those believing 
upon the [one] having raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, 
\VS{25} who was 
delivered up because of our transgressions and was raised because of our 
justification.
