\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.
