Romans 4:4-16

4NowG1161 to the one who 1worksG2038, his wageG3408 is not creditedG3049 as a favorG5485, but as whatG3783 is dueG3783. 5But to the one who does not workG2038, but 2believesG4100 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“3BlessedG3107 are those whoseG3739 lawlessG458 deedsG458 have been forgivenG863, And whoseG3739 sinsG266 have been coveredG1943.84BlessedG3107 is the manG435 whoseG3739 sinG266 the LordG2962 will not 5takeG3049 into accountG3049.”

9Is thisG3778 blessingG3108 thenG3767 on 67the circumcisedG4061, orG2228 on 8the uncircumcisedG203 alsoG2532? For 9we sayG3004, “10FaithG4102 was creditedG3049 to AbrahamG11 as righteousnessG1343.” 10HowG4459 thenG3767 was it creditedG3049? While he was 11circumcisedG4061, orG2228 12uncircumcisedG203? Not while 13circumcisedG4061, but while 14uncircumcisedG203; 11and he 15receivedG2983 the signG4592 of circumcisionG4061, 16a sealG4973 of the righteousnessG1343 of the faithG4102 which 17he had while uncircumcisedG203, soG1519 that he might be 18the fatherG3962 of 19allG3956 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 20he had while uncircumcisedG203.

13For 21the promiseG1860 to AbrahamG11 orG2228 to his 22descendantsG4690 23that he would be heirG2818 of the worldG2889 was not 24throughG1223 the LawG3551, but throughG1223 the righteousnessG1343 of faithG4102. 14For 25ifG1487 thoseG3588 who are 26of the LawG3551 are heirsG2818, faithG4102 is madeG2758 voidG2758 and the promiseG1860 is nullifiedG2673; 15for 27the LawG3551 bringsG2716 aboutG2716 wrathG3709, but 28whereG3757 there is noG3756 lawG3551, there also is noG3756 violationG3847.

16For thisG3778 reasonG1223 it is 29by faithG4102, in orderG2443 that it may be in accordanceG2596 with 30graceG5485, soG1519 that the promiseG1860 will be guaranteedG949 to 31allG3956 the 32descendantsG4690, not onlyG3440 to 33thoseG3588 who are of the LawG3551, but alsoG2532 to 3435thoseG3588 who are of the faithG4102 of AbrahamG11, whoG3739 is 36the fatherG3962 of us allG3956,
