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.

This is my covenantH1285, which ye shall keepH8104, between me and you and thy seedH2233 after theeH310; Every man childH2145 among you shall be circumcisedH4135.
ForG1063 he isG2076 notG3756 a JewG2453, which is one outwardlyG1722+G5318; neitherG3761 is that circumcisionG4061, which is outwardG1722+G5318 inG1722 the fleshG4561:
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.
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.
And the bloodH1818 shall be to you for a tokenH226 upon the housesH1004 where ye are: and when I seeH7200 the bloodH1818, I will passH6452 over you, and the plagueH5063 shall not be upon you to destroyH4889 you, when I smiteH5221 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. {to destroy…: Heb. for a destruction}
ButG235 he is a JewG2453, which is one inwardlyG1722+G2927; andG2532 circumcisionG4061 is that of the heartG2588, inG1722 the spiritG4151, and notG3756 in the letterG1121; whoseG3739 praiseG1868 is notG3756 ofG1537 menG444, butG235 ofG1537 GodG2316.
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:
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.
SpeakH1696 thou also unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, VerilyH389 my sabbathsH7676 ye shall keepH8104: for it is a signH226 between me and you throughout your generationsH1755; that ye may knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 that doth sanctifyH6942 you.
And the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will circumciseH4135 thine heartH3824, and the heartH3824 of thy seedH2233, to loveH157 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 with all thine heartH3824, and with all thy soulH5315, that thou mayest liveH2416.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767? ThatG3754 the GentilesG1484, whichG3588 followedG1377 notG3361 after righteousnessG1343, have attainedG2638 to righteousnessG1343, evenG1161 the righteousnessG1343 whichG3588 is ofG1537 faithG4102.
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:
It is a signH226 between me and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 for everH5769: for in sixH8337 daysH3117 the LORDH3068 madeH6213 heavenH8064 and earthH776, and on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 he restedH7673, and was refreshedH5314.
WhoG3588 hathG4972 alsoG2532 sealedG4972 usG2248, andG2532 givenG1325 the earnestG728 of the SpiritG4151 inG1722 ourG2257 heartsG2588.
ButG1161 the righteousnessG1343 which is ofG1537 faithG4102 speakethG3004 on this wiseG3779, SayG2036 notG3361 inG1722 thineG4675 heartG2588, WhoG5101 shall ascendG305 intoG1519 heavenG3772? (that isG5123, to bringG2609 ChristG5547 downG2609 from above:)
ToG4314 declareG1732, I say, atG1722 thisG3568 timeG2540 hisG846 righteousnessG1343: thatG1519 he might beG1511 justG1342, andG2532 the justifierG1344 of himG846 which believethG4102 inG1537 JesusG2424.
Moreover also I gaveH5414 them my sabbathsH7676, to be a signH226 between me and them, that they might knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 that sanctifyH6942 them.
InG1722 whomG3739 yeG5210 alsoG2532 trusted, after that ye heardG191 the wordG3056 of truthG225, the gospelG2098 of yourG5216 salvationG4991: inG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 after that ye believedG4100, ye were sealed withG4972 that holyG40 SpiritG4151 of promiseG1860,
ForG1063 weG2249 through the SpiritG4151 wait forG553 the hopeG1680 of righteousnessG1343 byG1537 faithG4102.
NotG3756 asG3634 thoughG1161+G3754 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 hath taken none effectG1601. ForG1063 they are notG3756 allG3956+G1537 IsraelG2474, whichG3588+G3778 are of IsraelG2474:
And hallowH6942 my sabbathsH7676; and they shall be a signH226 between me and you, that ye may knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
AndG2532 grieveG3076 notG3361 the holyG40 SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, wherebyG1722+G3739 ye are sealedG4972 untoG1519 the dayG2250 of redemptionG629.
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:
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125, BeholdG2400, I layG5087 inG1722 SionG4622 a stumblingstoneG3037+G4348 andG2532 rockG4073 of offenceG4625: andG2532 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 onG1909 himG846 shallG2617 notG3756 be ashamedG2617. {ashamed: or confounded}
AndG2532 it was commandedG4483 themG846 thatG3363 they shouldG91 notG3363 hurtG91 the grassG5528 of the earthG1093, neitherG3761 anyG3956 green thingG5515, neitherG3761 anyG3956 treeG1186; butG1508 onlyG3441 those menG444 whichG3748 haveG2192 notG3756 the sealG4973 of GodG2316 inG1909 theirG846 foreheadsG3359.
By faithG4102 NoahG3575, being warned of GodG5537 ofG4012 things notG3369 seenG991 as yetG3369, moved with fearG2125, preparedG2680 an arkG2787 toG1519 the savingG4991 of hisG846 houseG3624; byG1223 the whichG3739 he condemnedG2632 the worldG2889, andG2532 becameG1096 heirG2818 of the righteousnessG1343 which is byG2596 faithG4102. {moved…: or, being wary}
ForG1063 ChristG5547 is the endG5056 of the lawG3551 forG1519 righteousnessG1343 to every oneG3956 that believethG4100.
SimonG4826 PeterG4074, a servantG1401 andG2532 an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to them that have obtainedG2975 like preciousG2472 faithG4102 with usG2254 throughG1722 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 andG2532 ourG2257 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: {Simon: or, Symeon} {God…: Gr. of our God and Saviour}
ForG1063 the scriptureG1124 saithG3004, WhosoeverG3956 believethG4100 onG1909 himG846 shallG2617 notG3756 be ashamedG2617.
AndG1161 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 manyG4183 shall comeG2240 fromG575 the eastG395 andG2532 westG1424, andG2532 shall sit downG347 withG3326 AbrahamG11, andG2532 IsaacG2464, andG2532 JacobG2384, inG1722 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.
AndG1161 SimonG4613 PeterG4074 answeredG611 and saidG2036, ThouG4771 artG1488 the ChristG5547, the SonG5207 of the livingG2198 GodG2316.
AndG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846+G3754, This dayG4594 isG1096 salvationG4991 comeG1096 to thisG5129 houseG3624, forsomuch asG2530 heG846 alsoG2532 isG2076 a sonG5207 of AbrahamG11.
ThatG3363 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 inG1519 himG846 shouldG622 notG3363 perishG622, butG235 haveG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222.
ForG1063 GodG2316 soG3779 lovedG25 the worldG2889, thatG5620 he gaveG1325 hisG846 only begottenG3439 SonG5207, thatG2443 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 inG1519 himG846 shouldG622 notG3361 perishG622, butG235 haveG2192 everlastingG166 lifeG2222.
He that believethG4100 onG1519 the SonG5207 hathG2192 everlastingG166 lifeG2222: andG1161 he that believeth notG544 the SonG5207 shallG3700 notG3756 seeG3700 lifeG2222; butG235 the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 abidethG3306 onG1909 himG846.
AndG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto themG846, IG1473 amG1510 the breadG740 of lifeG2222: he that comethG2064 toG4314 meG3165 shall neverG3364 hungerG3983; andG2532 he that believethG4100 onG1519 meG1691 shallG1372 neverG3364+G4455 thirstG1372.
AndG1161 thisG5124 isG2076 the willG2307 of him that sentG3992 meG3165, thatG2443 every oneG3956 whichG3588 seethG2334 the SonG5207, andG2532 believethG4100 onG1519 himG846, may haveG2192 everlastingG166 lifeG2222: andG2532 IG1473 will raiseG450 himG846 upG450 at the lastG2078 dayG2250.
AndG1161 thisG5124 isG2076 the willG2307 of him that sentG3992 meG3165, thatG2443 every oneG3956 whichG3588 seethG2334 the SonG5207, andG2532 believethG4100 onG1519 himG846, may haveG2192 everlastingG166 lifeG2222: andG2532 IG1473 will raiseG450 himG846 upG450 at the lastG2078 dayG2250.
VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, He that believethG4100 onG1519 meG1691 hathG2192 everlastingG166 lifeG2222.
He that believethG4100 onG1519 meG1691, asG2531 the scriptureG1124 hath saidG2036, out ofG1537 hisG846 bellyG2836 shall flowG4482 riversG4215 of livingG2198 waterG5204.
(ButG1161 thisG5124 spake heG2036 ofG4012 the SpiritG4151, whichG3739 they that believeG4100 onG1519 himG846 shouldG3195 receiveG2983: forG1063 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 wasG2258 not yetG3768 given; becauseG3754 that JesusG2424 wasG1392 not yetG3764 glorifiedG1392.)
They answeredG611 himG846, We beG2070 Abraham'sG11 seedG4690, andG2532 wereG1398 neverG4455 in bondageG1398 to any manG3762: howG4459 sayestG3004 thouG4771+G3754, Ye shall be madeG1096 freeG1658?
JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto herG846, IG1473 amG1510 the resurrectionG386, andG2532 the lifeG2222: he that believethG4100 inG1519 meG1691, thoughG2579 he were deadG599, yet shall he liveG2198:
AndG2532 whosoeverG3956 livethG2198 andG2532 believethG4100 inG1519 meG1691 shallG599 neverG3364+G1519+G165 dieG599. Believest thouG4100 thisG5124?
Know yeG1097 thereforeG686 thatG3754 they which are ofG1537 faithG4102, the sameG3778 areG1526 the childrenG5207 of AbrahamG11.
ButG235 the scriptureG1124 hath concludedG4788 allG3956 underG5259 sinG266, thatG2443 the promiseG1860 byG1537 faithG4102 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might be givenG1325 to them that believeG4100.
