Romans - Chapter: 4


4:1	What, then, shall we say Abraham our father, to have found, according to flesh?
4:2	for if Abraham by works was declared righteous, he hath to boast -- but not before god;
4:3	for what doth the writing say? `And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness;'
4:4	and to him who is working, the reward is not reckoned of grace, but of debt;
4:5	and to him who is not working, and is believing upon Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned -- to righteousness:
4:6	even as David also doth speak of the happiness of the man to whom God doth reckon righteousness apart from works:
4:7	`Happy they whose lawless acts were forgiven, and whose sins were covered;
4:8	happy the man to whom the Lord may not reckon sin.'
4:9	`Is' this happiness, then, upon the circumcision, or also upon the uncircumcision -- for we say that the faith was reckoned to Abraham -- to righteousness?
4:10	how then was it reckoned? he being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision;
4:11	and a sign he did receive of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them,
4:12	and father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of the faith, that `is' in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.
4:13	For not through law `is' the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith;
4:14	for if they who are of law `are' heirs, the faith hath been made void, and the promise hath been made useless;
4:15	for the law doth work wrath; for where law is not, neither `is' transgression.
4:16	Because of this `it is' of faith, that `it may be' according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which `is' of the law only, but also to that which `is' of the faith of Abraham,
4:17	who is father of us all (according as it hath been written -- `A father of many nations I have set thee,') before Him whom he did believe -- God, who is quickening the dead, and is calling the things that be not as being.
4:18	Who, against hope in hope did believe, for his becoming father of many nations according to that spoken: `So shall thy seed be;'
4:19	and not having been weak in the faith, he did not consider his own body, already become dead, (being about a hundred years old,) and the deadness of Sarah's womb,
4:20	and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God,
4:21	and having been fully persuaded that what He hath promised He is able also to do:
4:22	wherefore also it was reckoned to him to righteousness.
4:23	And it was not written on his account alone, that it was reckoned to him,
4:24	but also on ours, to whom it is about to be reckoned -- to us believing on Him who did raise up Jesus our Lord out of the dead,
4:25	who was delivered up because of our offences, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous.


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.


4:1	What shal we saye the, that Abraha or father as pertayninge to ye flesh dyd fynde?
4:2	This we saye: Yf Abraham were made righteous thorow workes, then hath he wherin to reioyse, but not before God.
4:3	But what sayeth ye scripture? Abraha belened God, & yt was counted vnto him for righteousnes.
4:4	Vnto hi yt goeth aboute wt workes, is the rewarde not rekened of fauoure, but of dutye:
4:5	owbeit vnto him, yt goeth not aboute with workes, but beleueth on him yt iustifieth the vngodly, is his faith counted for righteousnes.
4:6	Euen as Dauid sayeth also, that blessednes is onely that mans, vnto who God counteth righteousnes without addinge to of workes, where he sayeth:
4:7	Blessed are they, whose vnrighteousnesses are forgeuen, and whose synnes are couered.
4:8	Blessed is the man, vnto whom the LORDE imputeth no synne.
4:9	Now this blessednes, goeth it ouer the circucision, or ouer the vncircumcision? We must nedes graunte, yt Abrahas faith was couted vnto hi for righteousnes.
4:10	How was it the rekened vnto him? In the circucision, or in the vncircumcision? Doutles not in the circucision, but in the vncircumcision.
4:11	As for the toke of circucision he receaued it for a seale off the righteousnes off faith, which he had yet in ye vncircusion, yt he shulde be a father of all the yt beleue, beinge in ye vncircucisio, yt it might be couted vnto the also for righteousnes
4:12	& that he might be a father of circumcision, not onely of the that are of ye circumcision, but of them also that walke in the fotesteppes of the faith, which was in the vncircumcision of oure father Abraham.
4:13	For the promes (that he shulde be ye heyre of the worlde) was not made vnto Abraham or to his sede thorow the lawe, but thorow the righteousnes of faith.
4:14	For yf they which are of the lawe be heyres, the is faith vayne, and the promes of none effecte,
4:15	for so moch as the lawe causeth but wrath. For where the lawe is not, there is also no transgression.
4:16	Therfore was the promes made thorow fayth, that it myght come off fauoure, wherby the promesse myghte be made sure vnto all the sede: not onely vnto him which is off the lawe, but also vnto him that is of the faith of Abraha which is the father of vs a
4:17	As it is wrytten: I haue made the a father of many Heythe before God, whom thou hast beleued: which quyckeneth the deed, and calleth it which is not, that it maye be.
4:18	And he beleued vpo hope, where nothinge was to hope, that he shulde be a father of many Heythen. Acordinge as it was sayde vnto him:
4:19	Euen so shal thy sede be. And he was not faynte in faith, nether cosidred his awne body, which was deed allready, whyle he was almost an hundreth yeare olde, nether the deed wombe of Sara.
4:20	For he douted not in the promes of God thorow vnbeleue, but was stroge in faith, and gaue God the prayse:
4:21	& was sure, that loke what God promyseth, he is able to make it good.
4:22	And therfore was it rekened vnto him for righteousnes.
4:23	But this is not wrytte onely for his sake, yt it was counted vnto him,
4:24	but also for oure sakes: vnto who it shalbe counted, yf we beleue on him, that raysed vp oure LORDE Iesus from the deed.
4:25	Which was geuen for oure synnes, and raysed vp for oure righteousnesse sake.
