Romans 4

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

9 [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? In circumcision being or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision but in uncircumcision;

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

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

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

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

22 Therefore also it was credited to him unto righteousness.

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

24 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 over for the trespasses of us and was raised for the justification of us.
