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.

ButG235 forG1223 usG2248 alsoG2532, to whomG3739 it shall beG3195 imputedG3049, if we believeG4100 onG1909 him that raised upG1453 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962 fromG1537 the deadG3498;
ButG235 forG1223 usG2248 alsoG2532, to whomG3739 it shall beG3195 imputedG3049, if we believeG4100 onG1909 him that raised upG1453 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962 fromG1537 the deadG3498;
ForG1063 thereinG1722+G846 isG601 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 revealedG601 fromG1537 faithG4102 toG1519 faithG4102: asG2531 it is writtenG1125+G1161, The justG1342 shall liveG2198 byG1537 faithG4102.
ForG1063 whatG5101 saithG3004 the scriptureG1124+G1161? AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, andG2532 it was countedG3049 unto himG846 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
WhoG3739 was deliveredG3860 forG1223 ourG2257 offencesG3900, andG2532 was raised againG1453 forG1223 ourG2257 justificationG1347.
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.
Is heG2228 the GodG2316 of the JewsG2453 onlyG3440? is he notG3780 alsoG1161+G2532 of the GentilesG1484? YesG3483, of the GentilesG1484 alsoG2532:
SeeingG1897 it is oneG1520 GodG2316, whichG3739 shall justifyG1344 the circumcisionG4061 byG1537 faithG4102, andG2532 uncircumcisionG203 throughG1223 faithG4102.
ForG1063 the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 is revealedG601 fromG575 heavenG3772 againstG1909 allG3956 ungodlinessG763 andG2532 unrighteousnessG93 of menG444, who holdG2722 the truthG225 inG1722 unrighteousnessG93;
Behold, his soulH5315 which is lifted upH6075 is not uprightH3474 in him: but the justH6662 shall liveH2421 by his faithH530.
EvenG1161 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 which is byG1223 faithG4102 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 untoG1519 allG3956 andG2532 uponG1909 allG3956 them that believeG4100: forG1063 there isG2076 noG3756 differenceG1293:
MoreoverG1161 whomG3739 he did predestinateG4309, themG5128 heG2564 alsoG2532 calledG2564: andG2532 whomG3739 he calledG2564, themG5128 heG1344 alsoG2532 justifiedG1344: andG1161 whomG3739 he justifiedG1344, themG5128 heG1392 alsoG2532 glorifiedG1392.
WhatG5101 shall weG2046 thenG3767 sayG2046 toG4314 these thingsG5023? IfG1487 GodG2316 be forG5228 usG2257, whoG5101 can be againstG2596 usG2257?
He thatG3739+G1065 sparedG5339 notG3756 his ownG2398 SonG5207, butG235 deliveredG3860 himG846 upG3860 forG5228 usG2257 allG3956, howG4459 shall heG5483 notG3780 withG4862 himG846 alsoG2532 freely giveG5483 usG2254 all thingsG3956?
WhoG5101 shall lay any thingG1458 to the chargeG2596 of God'sG2316 electG1588? It is GodG2316 that justifiethG1344.
WhoG5101 is he that condemnethG2632? It is ChristG5547 that diedG599, yeaG1161 ratherG3123+G2532, that is risen againG1453, whoG3739 isG2076 evenG2532 atG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316, whoG3739 alsoG2532 maketh intercessionG1793 forG5228 usG2257.
ForG1063 when weG2257 wereG5607 yetG2089 without strengthG772, in dueG2596 timeG2540 ChristG5547 diedG599 forG5228 the ungodlyG765. {in due time: or, according to the time}
ForG1063 scarcelyG3433 forG5228 a righteous manG1342 willG599 oneG5100 dieG599: yetG1063 peradventureG5029 forG5228 a good manG18 someG5100 wouldG5111 evenG2532 dareG5111 to dieG599.
ButG1161 GodG2316 commendethG4921 hisG1438 loveG26 towardG1519 usG2248, in thatG3754, while weG2257 wereG5607 yetG2089 sinnersG268, ChristG5547 diedG599 forG5228 usG2257.
ThereforeG3767 being justifiedG1344 byG1537 faithG4102, we haveG2192 peaceG1515 withG4314 GodG2316 throughG1223 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG5213+G3754, He that hearethG191 myG3450 wordG3056, andG2532 believethG4100 on him that sentG3992 meG3165, hathG2192 everlastingG166 lifeG2222, andG2532 shallG2064 notG3756 comeG2064 intoG1519 condemnationG2920; butG235 is passedG3327 fromG1537 deathG2288 untoG1519 lifeG2222.
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.
ByG1223 whomG3739 alsoG2532 we haveG2192 accessG4318 by faithG4102 intoG1519 thisG5026 graceG5485 whereinG1722+G3739 we standG2476, andG2532 rejoiceG2744 inG1909 hopeG1680 of the gloryG1391 of GodG2316.
AndG1161 the scriptureG1124, foreseeingG4275 thatG3754 GodG2316 would justifyG1344 the heathenG1484 throughG1537 faithG4102, preached before the gospelG4283 unto AbrahamG11, saying,G3754 InG1722 theeG4671 shallG1757 allG3956 nationsG1484 be blessedG1757.
Now JoshuaH3091 was clothedH3847 with filthyH6674 garmentsH899, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the angelH4397.
ForG1063 they being ignorantG50 of God'sG2316 righteousnessG1343, andG2532 going aboutG2212 to establishG2476 their ownG2398 righteousnessG1343, haveG5293 notG3756 submitted themselvesG5293 unto the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316.
And he answeredH6030 and spakeH559 unto those that stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him, sayingH559, Take awayH5493 the filthyH6674 garmentsH899 from him. And unto him he saidH559, BeholdH7200, I have caused thine iniquityH5771 to passH5674 from thee, and I will clotheH3847 thee with change of raimentH4254.
ThatG3754 ifG1437 thou shalt confessG3670 withG1722 thyG4675 mouthG4750 the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 shalt believeG4100 inG1722 thineG4675 heartG2588 thatG3754 GodG2316 hath raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498, thou shalt be savedG4982.
Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 the unrighteousG94 shallG2816 notG3756 inheritG2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316? BeG4105 notG3361 deceivedG4105: neitherG3777 fornicatorsG4205, norG3777 idolatersG1496, norG3777 adulterersG3432, norG3777 effeminateG3120, norG3777 abusers of themselves with mankindG733,
NorG3777 thievesG2812, norG3777 covetousG4123, norG3777 drunkardsG3183, norG3756 revilersG3060, norG3756 extortionersG727, shall inheritG3756+G2816 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 suchG5023 wereG2258 some of youG5100: butG235 ye are washedG628, butG235 ye are sanctifiedG37, butG235 ye are justifiedG1344 inG1722 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, andG2532 byG1722 the SpiritG4151 of ourG2257 GodG2316.
ForG1063 with the heartG2588 man believethG4100 untoG1519 righteousnessG1343; andG1161 with the mouthG4750 confession is madeG3670 untoG1519 salvationG4991.
WhoG3588 wasG5607 beforeG4386 a blasphemerG989, andG2532 a persecutorG1376, andG2532 injuriousG5197: butG235 I obtained mercyG1653, becauseG3754 I didG4160 it ignorantlyG50 inG1722 unbeliefG570.
AndG1161 the graceG5485 of ourG2257 LordG2962 was exceeding abundantG5250 withG3326 faithG4102 andG2532 loveG26 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
This is a faithfulG4103 sayingG3056, andG2532 worthyG514 of allG3956 acceptationG594, thatG3754 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 cameG2064 intoG1519 the worldG2889 to saveG4982 sinnersG268; of whomG3739 IG1473 amG1510 chiefG4413.
Be itG2077 knownG1110 unto youG5213 thereforeG3767, menG435 and brethrenG80, thatG3754 throughG1223 this manG5127 is preachedG2605 unto youG5213 the forgivenessG859 of sinsG266:
ForG1063 we ourselvesG2249 alsoG2532 wereG2258+G453 sometimesG4218 foolishG453, disobedientG545, deceivedG4105, servingG1398 diversG4164 lustsG1939 andG2532 pleasuresG2237, livingG1236 inG1722 maliceG2549 andG2532 envyG5355, hatefulG4767, and hatingG3404 one anotherG240.
ButG1161 afterG3753 that the kindnessG5544 andG2532 loveG5363 of GodG2316 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 toward manG5363 appearedG2014, {love: or, pity}
NotG3756 byG1537 worksG2041 ofG1722 righteousnessG1343 whichG3739 weG2249 have doneG4160, butG235 according toG2596 hisG846 mercyG1656 he savedG4982 usG2248, byG1223 the washingG3067 of regenerationG3824, andG2532 renewingG342 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151;
WhichG3739 he shedG1632 onG1909 usG2248 abundantlyG4146 throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 SaviourG4990; {abundantly: Gr. richly}
ThatG2443 being justified byG1344 hisG1565 graceG5485, we should be madeG1096 heirsG2818 according toG2596 the hopeG1680 of eternalG166 lifeG2222.
AndG2532 byG1722 himG5129 allG3956 that believeG4100 are justifiedG1344 fromG575 all thingsG3956, from whichG3739 ye couldG1410 notG3756 be justifiedG1344 byG1722 the lawG3551 of MosesG3475.
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 a manG444 isG1344 notG3756 justifiedG1344 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551, butG3362 byG1223 the faithG4102 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, evenG2532 weG2249 have believedG4100 inG1519 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, thatG2443 we might be justifiedG1344 byG1537 the faithG4102 of ChristG5547, andG2532 notG3756 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551: forG1360 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551 shallG1344 noG3756+G3956 fleshG4561 be justifiedG1344.
ButG1161 ifG1487, while we seekG2212 to be justifiedG1344 byG1722 ChristG5547, weG2147 ourselvesG846 alsoG2532 are foundG2147 sinnersG268, is thereforeG687 ChristG5547 the ministerG1249 of sinG266? God forbidG3361+G1096.
So thenG5620 they which be ofG1537 faithG4102 are blessedG2127 withG4862 faithfulG4103 AbrahamG11.
ForG1063 as many asG3745 areG1526 ofG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551 areG1526 underG5259 the curseG2671: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, CursedG1944 is every oneG3956 thatG3739 continuethG1696 notG3756 inG1722 all thingsG3956 whichG3588 are writtenG1125 inG1722 the bookG975 of the lawG3551 to doG4160 themG846.
ButG1161 thatG3754 no manG3762 is justifiedG1344 byG1722 the lawG3551 in the sightG3844 of GodG2316, it is evidentG1212: forG3754, The justG1342 shall liveG2198 byG1537 faithG4102.
AndG1161 the lawG3551 isG2076 notG3756 ofG1537 faithG4102: butG235, The manG444 that doethG4160 themG846 shall liveG2198 inG1722 themG846.
ChristG5547 hath redeemedG1805 usG2248 fromG1537 the curseG2671 of the lawG3551, being madeG1096 a curseG2671 forG5228 usG2257: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, CursedG1944 is every oneG3956 that hangethG2910 onG1909 a treeG3586:
ThatG2443 the blessingG2129 of AbrahamG11 might comeG1096 onG1519 the GentilesG1484 throughG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547; thatG2443 we might receiveG2983 the promiseG1860 of the SpiritG4151 throughG1223 faithG4102.
