Book 45 : ROMANS - Chapter 004
004:001
For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to
glory; but not before God
004:002
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was
counted unto him for righteousness
004:003
Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace,
but of debt
004:004
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that
justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for
righteousness
004:005
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto
whom God imputeth righteousness without works
004:006
Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and
whose sins are covered
004:007
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin
004:008
Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or
upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was
reckoned to Abraham for righteousness
004:009
How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in
uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision
004:010
And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the
righteousness of the faith which he had yet being
uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that
believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness
might be imputed unto them also
004:011
And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the
circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that
faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet
uncircumcised
004:012
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was
not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through
the righteousness of faith
004:013
For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void,
and the promise made of none effect
004:014
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is
no transgression
004:015
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the
end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that
only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the
faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all
004:016
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,)
before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the
dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they
were
004:017
Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the
father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So
shall thy seed be
004:018
And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body
now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet
the deadness of Sarah's womb
004:019
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but
was strong in faith, giving glory to God
004:020
And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was
able also to perform
004:021
And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness
004:022
Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed
to him
004:023
But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on
him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead
004:024
Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for
our justification
