Romans 4:1-12

1WhatG5101 thenG3767 shall we sayG3004 that AbrahamG11, 1our forefatherG4310 2accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561, has foundG2147? 2For ifG1487 AbrahamG11 was justifiedG1344 3by worksG2041, he hasG2192 somethingG2745 to boastG2745 aboutG2745, but 4not 5beforeG4314 GodG2316. 3For whatG5101 does the ScriptureG1124 sayG3004? “6AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, and it was creditedG3049 to him as righteousnessG1343.” 4NowG1161 to the one who 7worksG2038, his wageG3408 is not creditedG3049 as a favorG5485, but as whatG3783 is dueG3783. 5But to the one who does not workG2038, but 8believesG4100 in Him who justifiesG1344 the ungodlyG765, his faithG4102 is creditedG3049 as righteousnessG1343, 6justG2509 as DavidG1160 alsoG2532 speaksG3004 of the blessingG3108 on the manG444 to whomG3739 GodG2316 creditsG3049 righteousnessG1343 apartG5565 from worksG2041:7“9BlessedG3107 are those whoseG3739 lawlessG458 deedsG458 have been forgivenG863, And whoseG3739 sinsG266 have been coveredG1943.810BlessedG3107 is the manG435 whoseG3739 sinG266 the LordG2962 will not 11takeG3049 into accountG3049.”

9Is thisG3778 blessingG3108 thenG3767 on 1213the circumcisedG4061, orG2228 on 14the uncircumcisedG203 alsoG2532? For 15we sayG3004, “16FaithG4102 was creditedG3049 to AbrahamG11 as righteousnessG1343.” 10HowG4459 thenG3767 was it creditedG3049? While he was 17circumcisedG4061, orG2228 18uncircumcisedG203? Not while 19circumcisedG4061, but while 20uncircumcisedG203; 11and he 21receivedG2983 the signG4592 of circumcisionG4061, 22a sealG4973 of the righteousnessG1343 of the faithG4102 which 23he had while uncircumcisedG203, soG1519 that he might be 24the fatherG3962 of 25allG3956 who believeG4100 withoutG203 beingG203 circumcisedG203, that righteousnessG1343 might be creditedG3049 to them, 12and the fatherG3962 of circumcisionG4061 to thoseG3588 who not onlyG3440 are of the circumcisionG4061, but who alsoG2532 followG4748 in the stepsG2487 of the faithG4102 of our fatherG3962 AbrahamG11 which 26he had while uncircumcisedG203.
