WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767 that AbrahamG11 ourG2257 fatherG3962, as pertainingG2596 to the fleshG4561, hath foundG2147?
ForG1063 ifG1487 AbrahamG11 were justifiedG1344 byG1537 worksG2041, he hathG2192 whereof to gloryG2745; butG235 notG3756 beforeG4314 GodG2316.
ForG1063 whatG5101 saithG3004 the scriptureG1124+G1161? AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, andG2532 it was countedG3049 unto himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
NowG1161 to him that workethG2038 isG3049 the rewardG3408 notG3756 reckonedG3049 ofG2596 graceG5485, butG235 ofG2596 debtG3783.
ButG1161 to him that workethG2038 notG3361, butG1161 believethG4100 onG1909 him that justifiethG1344 the ungodlyG765, hisG846 faithG4102 is countedG3049 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
Even asG2509 DavidG1138 alsoG2532 describethG3004 the blessednessG3108 of the manG444, unto whomG3739 GodG2316 imputethG3049 righteousnessG1343 withoutG5565 worksG2041,
Saying, BlessedG3107 are they whoseG3739 iniquitiesG458 are forgivenG863, andG2532 whoseG3739 sinsG266 are coveredG1943.
BlessedG3107 is the manG435 to whomG3739 the LordG2962 willG3049 notG3364 imputeG3049 sinG266.
Cometh thisG3778 blessednessG3108 thenG3767 uponG1909 the circumcisionG4061 only, orG2228 uponG1909 the uncircumcisionG203 alsoG2532? forG1063 we sayG3004 thatG3754 faithG4102 was reckonedG3049 to AbrahamG11 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
HowG4459 was itG3049 thenG3767 reckonedG3049? when he wasG5607 inG1722 circumcisionG4061, orG2228 inG1722 uncircumcisionG203? NotG3756 inG1722 circumcisionG4061, butG235 inG1722 uncircumcisionG203.
AndG2532 he receivedG2983 the signG4592 of circumcisionG4061, a sealG4973 of the righteousnessG1343 of the faithG4102 whichG3588 he had yet beingG1722 uncircumcisedG203: thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the fatherG3962 of allG3956 them that believeG4100, thoughG1223 they be not circumcisedG203; thatG1519 righteousnessG1343 might be imputedG3049 unto themG846 alsoG2532:
AndG2532 the fatherG3962 of circumcisionG4061 to them who are notG3756 ofG1537 the circumcisionG4061 onlyG3440, butG235 who alsoG2532 walkG4748 in the stepsG2487 of that faithG4102 of ourG2257 fatherG3962 AbrahamG11, which he had beingG1722 yet uncircumcisedG203.
ForG1063 the promiseG1860, that he should beG1511 theG846 heirG2818 of the worldG2889, was notG3756 to AbrahamG11, orG2228 to hisG846 seedG4690, throughG1223 the lawG3551, butG235 throughG1223 the righteousnessG1343 of faithG4102.
ForG1063 ifG1487 they which are ofG1537 the lawG3551 be heirsG2818, faithG4102 is made voidG2758, andG2532 the promiseG1860 made of none effectG2673:
BecauseG1063 the lawG3551 workethG2716 wrathG3709: forG1063 whereG3757 noG3756 lawG3551 isG2076, there is noG3761 transgressionG3847.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 it is ofG1537 faithG4102, thatG2443 it might be byG2596 graceG5485; to the endG1519 the promiseG1860 might beG1511 sureG949 to allG3956 the seedG4690; notG3756 to that onlyG3440 which is ofG1537 the lawG3551, butG235 to that alsoG2532 which is ofG1537 the faithG4102 of AbrahamG11; whoG3739 isG2076 the fatherG3962 of usG2257 allG3956,
(AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, I have madeG5087 theeG4571 a fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484,) beforeG2713 him whomG3739 he believedG4100, even GodG2316, who quickenethG2227 the deadG3498, andG2532 callethG2564 those things which beG5607 notG3361 as thoughG5613 they wereG5607. {before him: or, like unto him}
WhoG3739 againstG3844 hopeG1680 believedG4100 inG1909 hopeG1680, thatG1519 heG846 might becomeG1096 the fatherG3962 of manyG4183 nationsG1484; accordingG2596 to that which was spokenG2046, SoG3779 shallG2071 thyG4675 seedG4690 beG2071.
AndG2532 being notG3361 weakG770 in faithG4102, he consideredG2657 notG3756 his ownG1438 bodyG4983 nowG2235 deadG3499, when he wasG5225 aboutG4225 an hundred years oldG1541, neither yetG2532 the deadnessG3500 of Sarah'sG4564 wombG3388:
He staggeredG1252 notG3756 atG1519 the promiseG1860 of GodG2316 through unbeliefG570; butG235 was strongG1743 in faithG4102, givingG1325 gloryG1391 to GodG2316;
AndG2532 being fully persuadedG4135 thatG3754, whatG3739 he had promisedG1861, he wasG2076 ableG1415 alsoG2532 to performG4160.
AndG2532 thereforeG1352 it was imputedG3049 to himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
NowG1161 it wasG1125 notG3756 writtenG1125 for his sakeG1223+G846 aloneG3440, thatG3754 it was imputedG3049 to himG846;
ButG235 forG1223 usG2248 alsoG2532, to whomG3739 it shall beG3195 imputedG3049, if we believeG4100 onG1909 him that raised upG1453 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962 fromG1537 the deadG3498;
WhoG3739 was deliveredG3860 forG1223 ourG2257 offencesG3900, andG2532 was raised againG1453 forG1223 ourG2257 justificationG1347.

ThereforeG1360 byG1537 the deedsG2041 of the lawG3551 there shallG1344 noG3956+G3756 fleshG4561 be justifiedG1344 in hisG846 sightG1799: forG1063 byG1223 the lawG3551 is the knowledgeG1922 of sinG266.
ButG1161 nowG3570 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 withoutG5565 the lawG3551 is manifestedG5319, being witnessedG3140 byG5259 the lawG3551 andG2532 the prophetsG4396;

ForG1063 allG3956 have sinnedG264, andG2532 come shortG5302 of the gloryG1391 of GodG2316;
Being justifiedG1344 freelyG1432 by hisG846 graceG5485 throughG1223 the redemptionG629 that is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
WhomG3739 GodG2316 hath set forthG4388 to be a propitiationG2435 throughG1223 faithG4102 inG1722 hisG846 bloodG129, toG1519 declareG1732 hisG846 righteousnessG1343 forG1223 the remissionG3929 of sinsG265 that are pastG4266, throughG1722 the forbearanceG463 of GodG2316; {set forth: or, foreordained} {remission: or, passing over}
ToG4314 declareG1732, I say, atG1722 thisG3568 timeG2540 hisG846 righteousnessG1343: thatG1519 he might beG1511 justG1342, andG2532 the justifierG1344 of himG846 which believethG4102 inG1537 JesusG2424.
WhereG4226 is boastingG2746 thenG3767? It is excludedG1576. ByG1223 whatG4169 lawG3551? of worksG2041? NayG3780: butG235 byG1223 the lawG3551 of faithG4102.
ThereforeG3767 we concludeG3049 that a manG444 is justifiedG1344 by faithG4102 withoutG5565 the deedsG2041 of the lawG3551.

Therefore it shall come to pass, when the EgyptiansH4713 shall seeH7200 thee, that they shall sayH559, This is his wifeH802: and they will killH2026 me, but they will save thee aliveH2421.
AndG2532 be foundG2147 inG1722 himG846, notG3361 havingG2192 mine ownG1699 righteousnessG1343, whichG3588 is ofG1537 the lawG3551, butG235 that whichG3588 is throughG1223 the faithG4102 of ChristG5547, the righteousnessG1343 whichG3588 is ofG1537 GodG2316 byG1909 faithG4102:
I haveG2192 therefore whereofG3767 I may gloryG2746 throughG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 in those things which pertain toG4314 GodG2316.
SayH559, I pray theeH4994, thou art my sisterH269: thatH4616 it may be wellH3190 with me for thy sake; and my soulH5315 shall liveH2421 because of theeH1558.
And he saidH559 unto me, Go inH935, and beholdH7200 the wickedH7451 abominationsH8441 that they doH6213 here.
And PharaohH6547 calledH7121 AbramH87, and saidH559, What is this that thou hast doneH6213 unto me? why didst thou not tellH5046 me that she was thy wifeH802?
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Let not the wiseH2450 man gloryH1984 in his wisdomH2451, neither let the mightyH1368 man gloryH1984 in his mightH1369, let not the richH6223 man gloryH1984 in his richesH6239:
And PharaohH6547 commandedH6680 his menH582 concerning him: and they sent him awayH7971, and his wifeH802, and all that he had.
But let him that gloriethH1984 gloryH1984 in this, that he understandethH7919 and knowethH3045 me, that I am the LORDH3068 which exerciseH6213 lovingkindnessH2617, judgmentH4941, and righteousnessH6666, in the earthH776: for in these things I delightH2654, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Then AbimelechH40 calledH7121 AbrahamH85, and saidH559 unto him, What hast thou doneH6213 unto us? and what have I offendedH2398 thee, that thou hast broughtH935 on me and on my kingdomH4467 a greatH1419 sinH2401? thou hast doneH6213 deedsH4639 unto me that ought not to be doneH6213.
And AbimelechH40 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, WhatH4100 sawest thouH7200, that thou hast doneH6213 this thingH1697?
And AbrahamH85 saidH559, Because I thoughtH559, SurelyH7535 the fearH3374 of GodH430 is not in this placeH4725; and they will slay meH2026 for my wife'sH802 sakeH1697.
And yet indeedH546 she is my sisterH269; she is the daughterH1323 of my fatherH1, but not the daughterH1323 of my motherH517; and she became my wifeH802.
And it came to pass, when GodH430 caused me to wanderH8582 from my father'sH1 houseH1004, that I saidH559 unto her, This is thy kindnessH2617 which thou shalt shewH6213 unto me; at every placeH4725 whither we shall comeH935, sayH559 of me, He is my brotherH251.
ForG1063 thoughG1437 I preach the gospelG2097, IG3427 haveG2076 nothingG3756 to glory ofG2745: forG1063 necessityG318 is laid uponG1945 meG3427; yeaG1161, woeG3759 isG2076 unto meG3427, ifG3362 I preachG2097 notG3362 the gospelG2097!
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Your fathersH1 dweltH3427 on the other sideH5676 of the floodH5104 in old timeH5769, even TerahH8646, the fatherH1 of AbrahamH85, and the fatherH1 of NachorH5152: and they servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430.
ForG1063 we commendG4921 notG3756 ourselvesG1438 againG3825 unto youG5213, butG235 giveG1325 youG5213 occasionG874 to gloryG2745 onG5228 ourG2257 behalfG5228, thatG2443 ye may haveG2192 somewhat toG4314 answer them which gloryG2744 inG1722 appearanceG4383, andG2532 notG3756 in heartG2588. {in appearance: Gr. in the face}
ButG1161 whatG3739 I doG4160, thatG2532 I will doG4160, thatG2443 I may cut offG1581 occasionG874 from them which desireG2309 occasionG874; thatG2443 whereinG1722+G3739 they gloryG2744, they may be foundG2147 evenG2532 asG2531 weG2249.
ForG1063 whoG5101 makethG1252 theeG4571 to differG1252 from another? andG1161 whatG5101 hast thouG2192 thatG3739 thou didstG2983 notG3756 receiveG2983+G1161? now ifG1499 thou didst receiveG2983 it, whyG5101 dost thou gloryG2744, asG5613 if thou hadstG2983 notG3361 receivedG2983 it? {maketh…: Gr. distinguisheth thee}
IfG1487 I must needsG1163 gloryG2744, I will gloryG2744 of the things which concernG3588 mineG3450 infirmitiesG769.
ButG235 the scriptureG1124 hath concludedG4788 allG3956 underG5259 sinG266, thatG2443 the promiseG1860 byG1537 faithG4102 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might be givenG1325 to them that believeG4100.
It isG4851 notG3756 expedientG4851 for meG3427 doubtlessG1211 to gloryG2744+G1063. I will comeG2064 toG1519 visionsG3701 andG2532 revelationsG602 of the LordG2962. {I will come: Gr. For I will come}
I knewG1492 a manG444 inG1722 ChristG5547 aboveG4253 fourteenG1180 yearsG2094 agoG4253, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492; or whetherG1535 outG1622 of the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492: GodG2316 knowethG1492;) such an oneG5108 caught upG726 toG2193 the thirdG5154 heavenG3772.
AndG2532 I knewG1492 suchG5108 a manG444, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the bodyG4983, orG1535 outG1622 of the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492: GodG2316 knowethG1492;)
How thatG3754 he was caught upG726 intoG1519 paradiseG3857, andG2532 heardG191 unspeakableG731 wordsG4487, whichG3739 it isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for a manG444 to utterG2980. {lawful: or, possible}
OfG5228 such an oneG5108 will I gloryG2744: yetG1161 ofG5228 myselfG1683 I willG2744 notG3756 gloryG2744, butG1508 inG1722 mineG3450 infirmitiesG769.
ForG1063 thoughG1437 I would desireG2309 to gloryG2744, I shallG2071 notG3756 beG2071 a foolG878; forG1063 I will sayG2046 the truthG225: butG1161 now I forbearG5339, lestG3361 any manG5100 should thinkG3049 ofG1519 meG1691 aboveG5228 that whichG3739 he seethG991 meG3165 to be, orG2228 that he hearethG191 ofG5100+G1537 meG1700.
AndG2532 lestG3363 I should be exalted above measureG5229 through the abundanceG5236 of the revelationsG602, there was givenG1325 to meG3427 a thornG4647 in the fleshG4561, the messengerG32 of SatanG4566 toG2443 buffetG2852 meG3165, lestG3363 I should be exalted above measureG5229.
ForG5228 this thingG5127 I besoughtG3870 the LordG2962 thriceG5151, thatG2443 it might departG868 fromG575 meG1700.
AndG2532 he saidG2046 unto meG3427, MyG3450 graceG5485 is sufficientG714 for theeG4671: forG1063 myG3450 strengthG1411 is made perfectG5048 inG1722 weaknessG769. Most gladlyG2236 thereforeG3767 will IG2744 ratherG3123 gloryG2744 inG1722 myG3450 infirmitiesG769, thatG2443 the powerG1411 of ChristG5547 may restG1981 uponG1909 meG1691.
ForG1063 neitherG3761 they themselvesG846 who are circumcisedG4059 keepG5442 the lawG3551; butG235 desireG2309 to haveG4059 youG5209 circumcisedG4059, thatG2443 they may gloryG2744 inG1722 yourG5212 fleshG4561.
