Romans 4:9-17

9Is thisG3778 blessingG3108 thenG3767 on 12the circumcisedG4061, orG2228 on 3the uncircumcisedG203 alsoG2532? For 4we sayG3004, “5FaithG4102 was creditedG3049 to AbrahamG11 as righteousnessG1343.” 10HowG4459 thenG3767 was it creditedG3049? While he was 6circumcisedG4061, orG2228 7uncircumcisedG203? Not while 8circumcisedG4061, but while 9uncircumcisedG203; 11and he 10receivedG2983 the signG4592 of circumcisionG4061, 11a sealG4973 of the righteousnessG1343 of the faithG4102 which 12he had while uncircumcisedG203, soG1519 that he might be 13the fatherG3962 of 14allG3956 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 15he had while uncircumcisedG203.

13For 16the promiseG1860 to AbrahamG11 orG2228 to his 17descendantsG4690 18that he would be heirG2818 of the worldG2889 was not 19throughG1223 the LawG3551, but throughG1223 the righteousnessG1343 of faithG4102. 14For 20ifG1487 thoseG3588 who are 21of the LawG3551 are heirsG2818, faithG4102 is madeG2758 voidG2758 and the promiseG1860 is nullifiedG2673; 15for 22the LawG3551 bringsG2716 aboutG2716 wrathG3709, but 23whereG3757 there is noG3756 lawG3551, there also is noG3756 violationG3847.

16For thisG3778 reasonG1223 it is 24by faithG4102, in orderG2443 that it may be in accordanceG2596 with 25graceG5485, soG1519 that the promiseG1860 will be guaranteedG949 to 26allG3956 the 27descendantsG4690, not onlyG3440 to 28thoseG3588 who are of the LawG3551, but alsoG2532 to 2930thoseG3588 who are of the faithG4102 of AbrahamG11, whoG3739 is 31the fatherG3962 of us allG3956, 17(as it is writtenG1125, “32A fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484 have I madeG5087 you”) in the presenceG2713 of Him whomG3739 he believedG4100, even GodG2316, 33who givesG2227 lifeG2227 to the deadG3498 and 3435callsG2564 into beingG1510 36that which does not existG1510.
