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.

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,
Do weG2673 thenG3767 make voidG2673 the lawG3551 throughG1223 faithG4102? God forbidG3361+G1096: yeaG235, we establishG2476 the lawG3551.
I doG114 notG3756 frustrateG114 the graceG5485 of GodG2316: forG1063 ifG1487 righteousnessG1343 come byG1223 the lawG3551, thenG686 ChristG5547 is deadG599 in vainG1432.
But if her husbandH376 hath utterlyH6565 made them voidH6565 on the dayH3117 he heardH8085 them; then whatsoever proceededH4161 out of her lipsH8193 concerning her vowsH5088, or concerning the bondH632 of her soulH5315, shall not standH6965: her husbandH376 hath made them voidH6565; and the LORDH3068 shall forgiveH5545 her.
ForG1063 ifG1487 the inheritanceG2817 be ofG1537 the lawG3551, it is no moreG3765 ofG1537 promiseG1860: butG1161 GodG2316 gaveG5483 it to AbrahamG11 byG1223 promiseG1860.
WhereforeG5101 thenG3767 serveth the lawG3551? It was addedG4369 because ofG5484 transgressionsG3847, tillG891+G3739 the seedG4690 should comeG2064 to whomG3739 the promise was madeG1861; and it was ordainedG1299 byG1223 angelsG32 inG1722 the handG5495 of a mediatorG3316.
NowG1161 a mediatorG3316 isG2076 notG3756 a mediator of oneG1520, butG1161 GodG2316 isG2076 oneG1520.
Is the lawG3551 thenG3767 againstG2596 the promisesG1860 of GodG2316? God forbidG3361+G1096: forG1063 ifG1487 there had beenG1325 a lawG3551 givenG1325 whichG3588 couldG1410 have given lifeG2227, verilyG3689 righteousnessG1343 shouldG302 have beenG2258 byG1537 the lawG3551.
ButG235 the scriptureG1124 hath concludedG4788 allG3956 underG5259 sinG266, thatG2443 the promiseG1860 byG1537 faithG4102 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might be givenG1325 to them that believeG4100.
ButG1161 beforeG4253 faithG4102 cameG2064, we were keptG5432 underG5259 the lawG3551, shut upG4788 untoG1519 the faithG4102 which should afterwardsG3195 be revealedG601.
WhereforeG5620 the lawG3551 wasG1096 ourG2257 schoolmasterG3807 to bring us untoG1519 ChristG5547, thatG2443 we might be justifiedG1344 byG1537 faithG4102.
But if he shall any waysH6565 make them voidH6565 afterH310 that he hath heardH8085 them; then he shall bearH5375 her iniquityH5771.
ChristG5547 is become of no effect unto youG575+G2673, whosoever of youG3748 are justifiedG1344 byG1722 the lawG3551; ye are fallen fromG1601 graceG5485.
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:
So shall my wordH1697 be that goeth forthH3318 out of my mouthH6310: it shall not returnH7725 unto me voidH7387, but it shall accomplishH6213 that which I pleaseH2654, and it shall prosperH6743 in the thing whereto I sentH7971 it.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 madeG5048 nothingG3762 perfectG5048, butG1161 the bringing inG1898 of a betterG2909 hopeG1680 did; byG1223 the whichG3739 we draw nighG1448 unto GodG2316. {the bringing…: or, it was the bringing in}
And I will make voidH1238 the counselH6098 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 in this placeH4725; and I will cause them to fallH5307 by the swordH2719 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, and by the handsH3027 of them that seekH1245 their livesH5315: and their carcasesH5038 will I giveH5414 to be meatH3978 for the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064, and for the beastsH929 of the earthH776.
