Romans - Chapter: 4


4:1	What thanne schulen we seie, that Abraham oure fadir aftir the flesch foond?
4:2	For if Abraham is iustified of werkis of the lawe, he hath glorie, but not anentis God.
4:3	For what seith the scripture? Abraham bileued to God, and it was arettid to him to riytwisnesse.
4:4	And to hym that worchith mede is not arettid bi grace, but bi dette.
4:5	Sotheli to hym that worchith not, but bileueth in to hym that iustefieth a wickid man, his feith is arettid to riytwisnesse, aftir the purpos of Goddis grace.
4:6	As Dauid seith the blessidnesse of a man, whom God acceptith, he yyueth to hym riytwisnesse with outen werkis of the lawe,
4:7	Blessid ben thei, whos wickidnessis ben foryouun, and whos synnes ben hid.
4:8	Blessid is that man, to whom God arettide not synne.
4:9	Thanne whether dwellith this blisfulnesse oneli in circumcisioun, or also in prepucie? For we seien, that the feith was arettid to Abraham to riytwisnesse.
4:10	Hou thanne was it arettid? in circumcisioun, or in prepucie? Not in circumcisioun, but in prepucie.
4:11	And he took a signe of circumcisioun, a tokenyng of riytwisnesse of the feith which is in prepucie, that he be fadir of alle men bileuynge bi prepucie, that it be arettid also to hem to riytwisnesse;
4:12	and that he be fadir of circumcisioun, not onely to hem that ben of circumcisioun, but also to hem that suen the steppis of the feith, which feith is in prepucie of oure fader Abraham.
4:13	For not bi the lawe is biheest to Abraham, or to his seed, that he schulde be eir of the world, but bi the riytwisnesse of feith.
4:14	For if thei that ben of the lawe, ben eiris, feith is distried, biheest is don awey.
4:15	For the lawe worchith wraththe; for where is no lawe, there is no trespas, nethir is trespassyng.
4:16	Therfor riytfulnesse is of the feith, that bi grace biheeste be stable to ech seed, not to that seed oneli that is of the lawe, but to that that is of the feith of Abraham, which is fadir of vs alle.
4:17	As it is writun, For Y haue set thee fadir of many folkis, bifor God to whom thou hast bileued. Which God quykeneth deed men, and clepith tho thingis that ben not, as tho that ben.
4:18	Which Abraham ayens hope bileuede in to hope, that he schulde be maad fader of many folkis, as it was seid to hym, Thus schal thi seed be, as the sterris of heuene, and as the grauel that is in the brenke of the see.
4:19	And he was not maad vnstidfast in the bileue, nether he biheelde his bodi thanne nyy deed, whanne he was almost of an hundrid yeer, ne the wombe of Sare nyy deed.
4:20	Also in the biheeste of God he doutide not with vntrist; but he was coumfortid in bileue,
4:21	yyuynge glorie to God, witynge moost fulli that what euere thingis God hath bihiyt, he is myyti also to do.
4:22	Therfor it was arettid to hym to riytwisnesse.
4:23	And it is not writun oneli for him, that it was arettid to hym to riytwisnesse,
4:24	but also for vs, to whiche it schal be arettid, that bileuen in him that reiside oure Lord Jhesu Crist fro deeth.
4:25	Which was bitakun for oure synnes, and roos ayen for oure iustefiyng.


4:1	What shall we say then, that Abraham our father hath found concerning the flesh?
4:2	For if Abraham were iustified by workes, he hath wherein to reioyce, but not with God.
4:3	For what saith the Scripture? Abraham beleeued God, and it was counted to him for righteousnesse.
4:4	Nowe to him that worketh, the wages is not counted by fauour, but by dette:
4:5	But to him that worketh not, but beleeueth in him that iustifieth the vngodly, his faith is counted for righteousnesse.
4:6	Euen as Dauid declareth the blessednesse of the man, vnto whom God imputeth righteousnes without workes, saying,
4:7	Blessed are they, whose iniquities are forgiuen, and whose sinnes are couered.
4:8	Blessed is the man, to whom the Lord imputeth not sinne.
4:9	Came this blessednesse then vpon the circumcision onely, or vpon the vncircumcision also? For we say, that faith was imputed vnto Abraham for righteousnesse.
4:10	Howe was it then imputed? when he was circumcised, or vncircumcised? not when he was cricumcised, but when he was vncircumcised.
4:11	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,
4:12	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.
4:13	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.
4:14	For if they which are of the Lawe, be heires, faith is made voide, and the promise is made of none effect.
4:15	For the Lawe causeth wrath: for where no Lawe is, there is no transgression.
4:16	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,
4:17	(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.
4:18	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.
4:19	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.
4:20	Neither did he doubt of the promise of God through vnbeliefe, but was strengthened in the faith, and gaue glorie to God,
4:21	Being fully assured that he which had promised, was also able to doe it.
4:22	And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousnesse.
4:23	Nowe it is not written for him onely, that it was imputed to him for righteousnesse,
4:24	But also for vs, to whom it shalbe imputed for righteousnesse, which beleeue in him that raised vp Iesus our Lord from the dead,
4:25	Who was deliuered to death for our sinnes, and is risen againe for our iustification.


4:1	What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?
4:2	Because, if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.
4:3	Because what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."
4:4	Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt.
4:5	But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,
4:6	just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:
4:7	Saying "Blessed are those 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	Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? Because we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
4:10	How then was it accounted? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised.
4:11	And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they are uncircumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also,
4:12	and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham, which he had while still uncircumcised.
4:13	Because, the promise that he would 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	Because, if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect,
4:15	because, the law brings about wrath; because where there is no law there is no transgression.
4:16	Therefore it is of faith that it might be by grace, so that the promise might be certain to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all
4:17	(as it is written, "I have made you a father of many nations") in the presence of Him whom he believed, even God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;
4:18	who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he would become the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, "So will your seed be."
4:19	And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), nor the deadness of Sarah's womb.
4:20	He did not waver 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 also able 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 also for us. It will be imputed to us, if we believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,
4:25	who was delivered for our offenses, and was raised again because of our justification.
