Romans 4:11-18

11and he 1receivedG2983 the signG4592 of circumcisionG4061, 2a sealG4973 of the righteousnessG1343 of the faithG4102 which 3he had while uncircumcisedG203, soG1519 thatG1519 he might be 4the fatherG3962 of 5allG3956 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 6he had while uncircumcisedG203.

13For 7the promiseG1860 to AbrahamG11 orG2228 to his 8descendantsG4690 9that he would be heirG2818 of the worldG2889 was not 10throughG1223 the LawG3551, but throughG1223 the righteousnessG1343 of faithG4102. 14For 11ifG1487 thoseG3588 who are 12of the LawG3551 are heirsG2818, then faithG4102 is madeG2758 voidG2758 and the promiseG1860 is nullifiedG2673; 15for 13the LawG3551 bringsG2716 aboutG2716 wrathG3709, but 14whereG3757 there is noG3756 lawG3551, there also is noG3756 violationG3847.

16For thisG3778 reasonG1223 it is 15by faithG4102, inG2443 orderG2443 thatG2443 it may be inG2596 accordanceG2596 withG2596 16graceG5485, soG1519 thatG1519 the promiseG1860 will be guaranteedG949 to 17allG3956 the 18descendantsG4690, not onlyG3440 to 19thoseG3588 who are of the LawG3551, but alsoG2532 to 2021thoseG3588 who are of the faithG4102 of AbrahamG11, whoG3739 is 22the fatherG3962 of us allG3956, 17(as it is writtenG1125: “I have madeG5087 you 23a fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484”) inG2713 theG2713 presenceG2713 of Him whomG3739 he believedG4100, that is, GodG2316, 24who givesG2227 lifeG2227 toG2227 the deadG3498 and 25callsG2564 into beingG1510 26things that do not existG1510. 18In hopeG1680 againstG1909 hopeG1680 he believedG4100, soG1519 thatG1519 he might becomeG1096 27a fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484 accordingG2596 to that which had been spokenG3004, “28SoG3779 shall your 29descendantsG4690 be.”
