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.

AndG2532 thinkG1380 notG3361 to sayG3004 withinG1722 yourselvesG1438, We haveG2192 AbrahamG11 to our fatherG3962: forG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, thatG3754 GodG2316 is ableG1410 ofG1537 theseG5130 stonesG3037 to raise upG1453 childrenG5043 unto AbrahamG11.

Then againH3254 AbrahamH85 tookH3947 a wifeH802, and her nameH8034 was KeturahH6989.
And she bareH3205 him ZimranH2175, and JokshanH3370, and MedanH4091, and MidianH4080, and IshbakH3435, and ShuahH7744.
And JokshanH3370 begatH3205 ShebaH7614, and DedanH1719. And the sonsH1121 of DedanH1719 were AsshurimH805, and LetushimH3912, and LeummimH3817.
And the sonsH1121 of MidianH4080; EphahH5891, and EpherH6081, and HanochH2585, and AbidaH28, and EldaahH420. All these were the childrenH1121 of KeturahH6989.
And AbrahamH85 gaveH5414 all that he had unto IsaacH3327.
But unto the sonsH1121 of the concubinesH6370, which AbrahamH85 had, AbrahamH85 gaveH5414 giftsH4979, and sent them awayH7971 from IsaacH3327 his sonH1121, while he yet livedH2416, eastwardH6924, unto the eastH6924 countryH776.
And these are the daysH3117 of the yearsH8141 of Abraham'sH85 lifeH2416 which he livedH2425, an hundredH3967+H8141 threescore and fifteenH7657+H8141+H2568 yearsH8141.
Then AbrahamH85 gave up the ghostH1478, and diedH4191 in a goodH2896 old ageH7872, an old manH2205, and fullH7649 of years; and was gatheredH622 to his peopleH5971.
And his sonsH1121 IsaacH3327 and IshmaelH3458 buriedH6912 him in the caveH4631 of MachpelahH4375, in the fieldH7704 of EphronH6085 the sonH1121 of ZoharH6714 the HittiteH2850, which is beforeH6440 MamreH4471;
The fieldH7704 which AbrahamH85 purchasedH7069 of the sonsH1121 of HethH2845: there was AbrahamH85 buriedH6912, and SarahH8283 his wifeH802.
And it came to pass afterH310 the deathH4194 of AbrahamH85, that GodH430 blessedH1288 his sonH1121 IsaacH3327; and IsaacH3327 dweltH3427 byH5973 the well LahairoiH883.
Now these are the generationsH8435 of IshmaelH3458, Abraham'sH85 sonH1121, whom HagarH1904 the EgyptianH4713, Sarah'sH8283 handmaidH8198, bareH3205 unto AbrahamH85:
And these are the namesH8034 of the sonsH1121 of IshmaelH3458, by their namesH8034, according to their generationsH8435: the firstbornH1060 of IshmaelH3458, NebajothH5032; and KedarH6938, and AdbeelH110, and MibsamH4017,
And MishmaH4927, and DumahH1746, and MassaH4854,
HadarH2316, and TemaH8485, JeturH3195, NaphishH5305, and KedemahH6929: {Hadar: or, Hadad}
These are the sonsH1121 of IshmaelH3458, and these are their namesH8034, by their townsH2691, and by their castlesH2918; twelveH8147+H6240 princesH5387 according to their nationsH523.
And these are the yearsH8141 of the lifeH2416 of IshmaelH3458, an hundredH3967+H8141 and thirtyH7970+H8141 and sevenH7651 yearsH8141: and he gave up the ghostH1478 and diedH4191; and was gatheredH622 unto his peopleH5971.
And they dweltH7931 from HavilahH2341 unto ShurH7793, that is beforeH6440 EgyptH4714, as thou goestH935 toward AssyriaH804: and he diedH5307 in the presenceH6440 of all his brethrenH251. {died: Heb. fell}
And these are the generationsH8435 of IsaacH3327, Abraham'sH85 sonH1121: AbrahamH85 begatH3205 IsaacH3327:
And IsaacH3327 was fortyH705 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he tookH3947 RebekahH7259 to wifeH802, the daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328 the SyrianH761 of PadanaramH6307, the sisterH269 to LabanH3837 the SyrianH761.
And IsaacH3327 intreatedH6279 the LORDH3068 forH5227 his wifeH802, because she was barrenH6135: and the LORDH3068 was intreatedH6279 of him, and RebekahH7259 his wifeH802 conceivedH2029.
And the childrenH1121 struggled togetherH7533 within herH7130; and she saidH559, If it be so, why am I thusH2088? And she wentH3212 to enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto her, TwoH8147 nationsH1471 are in thy wombH990, and two mannerH8147 of peopleH3816 shall be separatedH6504 from thy bowelsH4578; and the one peopleH3816 shall be strongerH553 than the other peopleH3816; and the elderH7227 shall serveH5647 the youngerH6810.
And when her daysH3117 to be deliveredH3205 were fulfilledH4390, behold, there were twinsH8380 in her wombH990.
And the firstH7223 came outH3318 redH132, all over like an hairyH8181 garmentH155; and they calledH7121 his nameH8034 EsauH6215.
And afterH310 that cameH3318 his brotherH251 outH3318, and his handH3027 took holdH270 on Esau'sH6215 heelH6119; and his nameH8034 was calledH7121 JacobH3290: and IsaacH3327 was threescoreH8346 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when she bareH3205 them.
And the boysH5288 grewH1431: and EsauH6215 was a cunningH3045 hunterH6718, a manH376 of the fieldH7704; and JacobH3290 was a plainH8535 manH376, dwellingH3427 in tentsH168.
And IsaacH3327 lovedH157 EsauH6215, because he did eatH6310 of his venisonH6718: but RebekahH7259 lovedH157 JacobH3290. {he…: Heb. venison was in his mouth}
And JacobH3290 sodH2102 pottageH5138: and EsauH6215 cameH935 from the fieldH7704, and he was faintH5889:
And EsauH6215 saidH559 to JacobH3290, FeedH3938 me, I pray thee, withH4480 that sameH122 redH122 pottage; for I am faintH5889: therefore was his nameH8034 calledH7121 EdomH123. {with…: Heb. with that red, with that red pottage} {Edom: that is Red}
And JacobH3290 saidH559, SellH4376 me this dayH3117 thy birthrightH1062.
And EsauH6215 saidH559, Behold, I am at the pointH1980 to dieH4191: and what profit shall this birthrightH1062 do to me? {at…: Heb. going to die}
And JacobH3290 saidH559, SwearH7650 to me this dayH3117; and he swareH7650 unto him: and he soldH4376 his birthrightH1062 unto JacobH3290.
Then JacobH3290 gaveH5414 EsauH6215 breadH3899 and pottageH5138 of lentilesH5742; and he did eatH398 and drinkH8354, and rose upH6965, and went his wayH3212: thus EsauH6215 despisedH959 his birthrightH1062.
VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG5213+G3754, The hourG5610 is comingG2064, andG2532 nowG3568 isG2076, whenG3753 the deadG3498 shall hearG191 the voiceG5456 of the SonG5207 of GodG2316: andG2532 they that hearG191 shall liveG2198.
And who, as I, shall callH7121, and shall declareH5046 it, and set it in orderH6186 for me, since I appointedH7760 the ancientH5769 peopleH5971? and the things that are comingH857, and shall comeH935, let them shewH5046 unto them.
And GodH410 AlmightyH7706 blessH1288 thee, and make thee fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235 thee, that thou mayest be a multitudeH6951 of peopleH5971; {a multitude…: Heb. an assembly of people}
It isG2076 the spiritG4151 that quickenethG2227; the fleshG4561+G3756 profitethG5623 nothingG3762: the wordsG4487 thatG3739 IG1473 speakG2980 unto youG5213, they areG2076 spiritG4151, andG2532 they areG2076 lifeG2222.
Behold, these shall comeH935 from farH7350: and, lo, these from the northH6828 and from the westH3220; and these from the landH776 of SinimH5515.
ThereforeG1352 sprang thereG1080 evenG2532 ofG575 oneG1520, andG2532 himG5023 as good as deadG3499, so many asG2531 the starsG798 of the skyG3772 in multitudeG4128, andG2532 asG5616 the sandG285 whichG3588 is byG3844 the seaG2281 shoreG5491 innumerableG382.
AndG2532 soG3779 it is writtenG1125, The firstG4413 manG444 AdamG76 was madeG1096+G1519 a livingG2198 soulG5590; the lastG2078 AdamG76 was madeG1519 a quickeningG2227 spiritG4151.
For ye shall go outH3318 with joyH8057, and be led forthH2986 with peaceH7965: the mountainsH2022 and the hillsH1389 shall break forthH6476 beforeH6440 you into singingH7440, and all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 shall clapH4222 their handsH3709.
AndG2532 youG5209 hath he quickened, who wereG5607 deadG3498 in trespassesG3900 andG2532 sinsG266;
WhereinG1722+G3739 in time pastG4218 ye walkedG4043 according toG2596 the courseG165 of thisG5127 worldG2889, according toG2596 the princeG758 of the powerG1849 of the airG109, the spiritG4151 that nowG3568 workethG1754 inG1722 the childrenG5207 of disobedienceG543:
AmongG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 weG2249 allG3956 had our conversationG390 in times pastG4218 inG1722 the lustsG1939 of ourG2257 fleshG4561, fulfillingG4160 the desiresG2307 of the fleshG4561 andG2532 of the mindG1271; andG2532 wereG2258 by natureG5449 the childrenG5043 of wrathG3709, evenG2532 asG5613 othersG3062. {desires: Gr. wills}
ButG1161 GodG2316, who isG5607 richG4145 inG1722 mercyG1656, forG1223 hisG846 greatG4183 loveG26 wherewithG3739 he lovedG25 usG2248,
EvenG2532 when weG2248 wereG5607 deadG3498 in sinsG3900, hath quickened us together withG4806 ChristG5547, (by graceG5485 ye areG2075 savedG4982;) {by…: or, by whose grace}
KnownG1110 unto GodG2316 areG2076 allG3956 hisG846 worksG2041 fromG575 the beginning of the worldG165.
I giveG3853 theeG4671 chargeG3853 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316, whoG3588 quickenethG2227 all thingsG3956, andG2532 before ChristG5547 JesusG2424, whoG3588 beforeG1909 PontiusG4194 PilateG4091 witnessedG3140 a goodG2570 confessionG3671; {confession: or, profession}
AndG2532 base thingsG36 of the worldG2889, andG2532 things which are despisedG1848, hathG1586 GodG2316 chosenG1586, yea, andG2532 things whichG3588 areG5607 notG3361, toG2443 bring to noughtG2673 things that areG5607:
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}
