Romans 4
1 Then what shall we say that Abraham, our father according to the flesh, has found?
What shall we say then, that Abraham our father hath found concerning the flesh?
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he has glorification; but not before God.
For if Abraham were iustified by workes, he hath wherein to reioyce, but not with God.
3 For what does the scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness.
For what saith the Scripture? Abraham beleeued God, and it was counted to him for righteousnesse.
4 But to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt;
Nowe to him that worketh, the wages is not counted by fauour, but by dette:
5 but to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.
But to him that worketh not, but beleeueth in him that iustifieth the vngodly, his faith is counted for righteousnesse.
6 Indeed David also speaks of the blessedness of the man, to whom God imputes righteousness without works,
Euen as Dauid declareth the blessednesse of the man, vnto whom God imputeth righteousnes without workes, saying,
7 Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered;
Blessed are they, whose iniquities are forgiuen, and whose sinnes are couered.
8 blessed is the man of whom the Lord may not impute sin.
Blessed is the man, to whom the Lord imputeth not sinne.
9 Then does this blessedness come on the circumcision, or on the uncircumcision? for we say That faith was imputed to Abraham for righteousness.
Came this blessednesse then vpon the circumcision onely, or vpon the vncircumcision also? For we say, that faith was imputed vnto Abraham for righteousnesse.
10 Then how was it imputed? to him, being in circumcision or uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Howe was it then imputed? when he was circumcised, or vncircumcised? not when he was cricumcised, but when he was vncircumcised.
11 And he received the sign of circumcision, and the seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had in uncircumcision: that he should be the father of all who believed, through uncircumcision; and righteousness should be imputed to them;
After, he receiued the signe of circumcision, as the seale of the righteousnesse of ye faith which he had, when he was vncircumcised, that he should be the father of all them that beleeue, not being circumcised, that righteousnesse might be imputed to them also,
12 and the father of circumcision to them who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.
And the father of circumcision, not vnto them onely which are of the circumcision, but vnto them also that walke in the steppes of the faith of our father Abraham, which he had when he was vncircumcised.
13 For the promise to Abraham or his seed, that he should be the heir of the world, was not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
For the promise that he should be the heire of the worlde, was not giuen to Abraham, or to his seede, through the Lawe, but through the righteousnesse of faith.
14 For if the heirs were by the law, faith has been made void, and the promise vitiated.
For if they which are of the Lawe, be heires, faith is made voide, and the promise is made of none effect.
15 For the law works out wrath: for where there is no law, there is no transgression.
For the Lawe causeth wrath: for where no Lawe is, there is no transgression.
16 Therefore it is by faith, in order that it may be by grace; that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not only of the law, but also of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
Therefore it is by faith, that it might come by grace, and the promise might be sure to all the seede, not to that onely which is of the Lawe: but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of vs all,
17 as it has been written, That I have constituted thee the father of many nations, before God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls things which are not as really existing:
(As it is written, I haue made thee a father of many nations) euen before God whom he beleeued, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those thinges which be not, as though they were.
18 who against hope confided in hope, that he should be the father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall thy seed be:
Which Abraham aboue hope, beleeued vnder hope, that he should be the father of many nations: according to that which was spoken to him, So shall thy seede be.
19 and being not weak in faith, he considered not his body already dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb:
And he not weake in the faith, considered not his owne bodie, which was nowe dead, being almost an hundreth yeere olde, neither the deadnes of Saraes wombe.
20 but he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was filled up with dynamite through faith, having given glory to God;
Neither did he doubt of the promise of God through vnbeliefe, but was strengthened in the faith, and gaue glorie to God,
21 and being fully assured, that whatsoever he has promised, he is able also to perform.
Being fully assured that he which had promised, was also able to doe it.
22 Therefore it was indeed imputed unto him for righteousness.
And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousnesse.
23 And it was not written on account of him alone, that it was imputed to him;
Nowe it is not written for him onely, that it was imputed to him for righteousnesse,
24 but on account of us also, to whom it is about to be imputed, who believe on him who raised up our Lord Jesus from the dead;
But also for vs, to whom it shalbe imputed for righteousnesse, which beleeue in him that raised vp Iesus our Lord from the dead,
25 who was delivered on account of our transgressions, and raised for our justification.
Who was deliuered to death for our sinnes, and is risen againe for our iustification.
