Romans - Chapter: 4


4:1	What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
4:2	For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
4:3	For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4:4	Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
4:5	But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
4:6	Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
4:7	Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
4:8	Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
4:9	Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
4:10	How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
4:11	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:
4:12	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.
4:13	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.
4:14	For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
4:15	Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
4:16	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,
4:17	(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.
4:18	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.
4:19	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:
4:20	He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
4:21	And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
4:22	And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
4:23	Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
4:24	But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
4:25	Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.


4:1	What shall we say then, that Abraham our father, as perteining to the flesh, hath found?
4:2	For if Abraham were iustified by workes, hee hath whereof to glory, but not before God.
4:3	For what saith the Scripture? Abraham beleeued God, and it was counted vnto him for righteousnes.
4:4	Now to him that worketh, is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
4:5	But to him that worketh not, but beleeueth on him that iustifieth the vngodly; his faith is counted for righteousnesse.
4:6	Euen as Dauid also describeth the blessednesse of the man, vnto whom God imputeth righteousnesse without works:
4:7	Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiuen, and whose sinnes are couered.
4:8	Blessed is the man to whome the Lord will not impute sinne.
4:9	Commeth this blessednes then vpon the circumcision onely, or vpon the vncircumcision also? for wee say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousnesse.
4:10	How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in vncircumcision? not in circumcision, but in vncircumcision.
4:11	And hee receiued the signe of circumcision, a seale of the righteousnesse of the faith, which hee had yet being vncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that beleeue, though they be not circumcised; that righteousnesse might be imputed vnto them also:
4:12	And the father of circumcision, to them who are not of the circumcision onely, but also walke in the steppes of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet vncircumcised.
4:13	For the promise that he should be the heire of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed through the Lawe, but through the righteousnesse of faith.
4:14	For if they which are of the law be heires, faith is made voide, and the promise made of none effect.
4:15	Because the law worketh wrath: for where no Lawe is, there is no transgression.
4:16	Therefore it is of faith, that it might bee by grace; to the ende the promise might be sure to all the seede, not to that onely which is of the Law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of vs all,
4:17	(As it is written, I haue made thee a father of many nations) before him whom he beleeued, euen God who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which bee not, as though they were,
4:18	Who against hope, beleeued in hope, that hee might become the father of many nations: according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seede bee.
4:19	And being not weake in faith, hee considered not his owne body now dead, when hee was about an hundred yere old, neither yet the deadnes of Saraes wombe.
4:20	Hee staggered not at the promise of God through vnbeliefe: but was strong in faith, giuing glory to God:
4:21	And being fully perswaded, that what he had promised, he was able also to performe.
4:22	And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousnesse.
4:23	Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him:
4:24	But for vs also, to whome it shall bee imputed, if wee beleeue on him that raised vp Iesus our Lord from the dead,
4:25	Who was deliuered for our offences, and was raised againe for our iustification.


4:1	What shall we saye then that Abraham oure father as pertayninge to ye flesshe dyd finde?
4:2	If Abraham were iustified by dedes the hath he wherin to reioyce: but not with god.
4:3	For what sayth the scripture? Abraham beleved god and it was counted vnto him for rightewesnes.
4:4	To him that worketh is the rewarde not reckened of favour: but of duty.
4:5	To him that worketh not but beleveth on him that iustifieth the vngodly is his fayth counted for rightewesnes.
4:6	Even as David describeth the blessedfulnes of the man vnto whom god ascribeth rihgtewesnes without dedes.
4:7	Blessed are they whose vnrightewesnes are forgeven and whose synnes are covered.
4:8	Blessed is that ma to whom the Lorde imputeth not synne.
4:9	Came this blessednes then vpon the circumcised or vpon the vncircucised? We saye verely how that fayth was rekened to Abraham for rightewesnes.
4:10	How was it rekened? in the tyme of circumcision? or in the tyme before he was circumcised? Not in tyme of circucision: but when he was yet vncircumcised.
4:11	And he receaved the signe of circumcision as a seale of yt rightewesnes which is by fayth which fayth he had yet beynge vncircucised: that he shuld be the father of all them that beleve though they be not circumcised that rightewesnes myght be imputed to them also:
4:12	and that he myght be the father of the circumcised not because they are circumcised only: but because they walke also in the steppes of that fayth yt was in oure father Abraham before the tyme of circumcision.
4:13	For the promes that he shuld be the heyre of the worlde was not geven to Abraha or to his seed thorow the lawe: but thorow ye rightewesnes which cometh of fayth.
4:14	For yf they which are of the lawe be heyres then is fayth but vayne and the promes of none effecte.
4:15	Because the lawe causeth wrathe. For where no lawe is there is no trasgression.
4:16	Therfore by fayth is the inheritauce geven that it myght come of faveour: and the promes myght be sure to all the seed. Not to them only which are of the lawe: but also to them which are of the fayth of Abraham which is the father of vs all.
4:17	As it is wrytten: I have made the a father to many nacions even before god whom thou hast beleved which quyckeneth the deed and called those thinges which be not as though they were.
4:18	Which Abraham contrary to hope beleved in hope that he shuld be the father of many nacions accordynge to that which was spoken:
4:19	So shall thy seed be. And he faynted not in the fayth nor yet consydered hys awne body which was now deed even when he was almost an hondred yeare olde: nether yet that Sara was past chyldeberinge.
4:20	He stackered not at the promes of God thorow vnbelefe: but was made stronge in the fayth and gave honour to God
4:21	full certifyed that what he had promised that he was able to make good.
4:22	And therfore was it reckened to him for rightewesnes.
4:23	It is not written for him only that it was reckened to him for rightewesnes:
4:24	but also for vs to whom it shalbe counted for rightewesnes so we beleve on him that raysed vp Iesus oure Lorde from deeth.
4:25	Which was delivered for oure synnes and rose agayne forto iustifie vs.
