\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.
