45_ROM_04_01 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
45_ROM_04_02 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath [whereof] to glory; but not before God.
45_ROM_04_03 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
45_ROM_04_04 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
45_ROM_04_05 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
45_ROM_04_06 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
45_ROM_04_07 [Saying], Blessed [are] they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
45_ROM_04_08 Blessed [is] the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
45_ROM_04_09 [Cometh] this blessedness then upon the circumcision [only], or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
45_ROM_04_10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
45_ROM_04_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:
45_ROM_04_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.
45_ROM_04_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.
45_ROM_04_14 For if they which are of the law [be] heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
45_ROM_04_15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, [there is] no transgression.
45_ROM_04_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,
45_ROM_04_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.
45_ROM_04_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.
45_ROM_04_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:
45_ROM_04_20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
45_ROM_04_21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
45_ROM_04_22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
45_ROM_04_23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
45_ROM_04_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;
45_ROM_04_25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
