Romans 4

1 What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?

What then will we say to have discovered Abraham the (ancestor *N(K)O*) of us according to [the] flesh?

2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.

If for Abraham by works was justified, he has ground of boasting but not toward (*k*) God.

3 For what does the Scripture say? "And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."

What for the Scripture says? Believed then Abraham in God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.

4 Now to the one who works, the pay is not counted as a gift, but as an obligation.

To the [one] now working the reward not is reckoned according to grace but according to (*k*) debt;

5 But to him who does not work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.

To the [one] however not working, believing however on the [One] justifying the ungodly, is reckoned the faith of him for righteousness.

6 Even as David also pronounces blessing on the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,

just as also David declares the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

7 "Happy are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

Blessed [are] they of whom are forgiven the lawless deeds and of whom are covered the sins;

8 Happy is the one whom the Lord will not charge with sin."

blessed [is] [the] man (of whom *N(k)O*) certainly not may reckon [the] Lord sin.

9 Is this blessing then pronounced on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness.

[Is] the blessing then this on the circumcision or also on the uncircumcision? We are saying for (that: *k*) was credited to Abraham the faith as righteousness.

10 How then was it credited? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

How then was it credited? In circumcision being or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision but in uncircumcision;

11 He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, so that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be credited to them.

And [the] sign he received of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith that [he had] [while] in the uncircumcision; for the to be him father of all those believing in uncircumcision, for to be credited also to them the righteousness,

12 The father of circumcision to those 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 father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only but also to those walking in the steps during (the *k*) uncircumcision (of the *k*) faith of the father of us Abraham.

13 For the promise to Abraham and to his descendants that he should be heir of the world was not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

Not for through [the] Law [was] the promise to Abraham or to the descendants of him that heir he being (of the *k*) world but through [the] righteousness of faith.

14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.

If for those of [the] Law [are] heirs, has been made void faith and has been nullified the promise;

15 For the law works wrath, for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.

For law wrath brings; where (now *N(k)O*) no there is law, neither [is] transgression.

16 For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, to the end that the promise may be sure to all the descendants, 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.

Therefore it [is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace, for to be sure the promise to all the seed, not to that of the law only but also to that of [the] faith of Abraham, who is [the] father of all of us —

17 As it is written, "I have made you a father of many nations." This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.

even as it has been written that A father of many nations I have made you, before whom he believed God, who is giving life to the dead and calling the [things] not [into] being as existing;

18 Who hoped in spite of hopeless circumstances, with the result that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, "so will your descendants be."

who against hope in hope believed for to become him [the] father of many nations according to that spoken; So will be the offspring of you;

19 And not being weak in faith, he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb.

And not having become weak in the faith (not *K*) he considered his own body already expired, a hundred years old about being, and the lifelessness of the womb of Sarah,

20 Yet, looking to the promise of God, he did not waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,

About however the promise of God not he did waver through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God

21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

and having been fully assured that what He has promised able He is also to do;

22 And therefore "it was credited to him as righteousness."

Therefore also it was credited to him unto righteousness.

23 Now it was not written that it was credited to him for his sake alone,

Not it was written now on account of him alone that it was credited to him,

24 but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

but also on account of us to whom it is about to be credited, to those believing on the [One] having raised Jesus the Lord of us out from [the] dead,

25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

who was delivered over for the trespasses of us and was raised for the justification of us.
