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.

He staggeredG1252 notG3756 atG1519 the promiseG1860 of GodG2316 through unbeliefG570; butG235 was strongG1743 in faithG4102, givingG1325 gloryG1391 to GodG2316;
Then AbrahamH85 fellH5307 upon his faceH6440, and laughedH6711, and saidH559 in his heartH3820, Shall a child be bornH3205 unto him that is an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121? and shall SarahH8283, that is ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 oldH1323, bearH3205?
AndG2532 being fully persuadedG4135 thatG3754, whatG3739 he had promisedG1861, he wasG2076 ableG1415 alsoG2532 to performG4160.
Now AbrahamH85 and SarahH8283 were oldH2205 and well strickenH935 in ageH3117; and it ceasedH2308 to be with SarahH8283 after the mannerH734 of womenH802.
Therefore SarahH8283 laughedH6711 within herselfH7130, sayingH559, AfterH310 I am waxed oldH1086 shall I have pleasureH5730, my lordH113 being old alsoH2204?
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, WhereforeH4100 did SarahH8283 laughH6711, sayingH559, Shall I of a suretyH552 bearH3205 a child, whichH589 am oldH2204?
IsH6381 any thingH1697 too hardH6381 for the LORDH3068? At the time appointedH4150 I will returnH7725 unto thee, according to the timeH6256 of lifeH2416, and SarahH8283 shall have a sonH1121.
It is goodG2570 neitherG3361 to eatG5315 fleshG2907, norG3366 to drinkG4095 wineG3631, norG3366 any thing wherebyG1722+G3739 thyG4675 brotherG80 stumblethG4350, orG2228 is offendedG4624, orG2228 is made weakG770.
Through faithG4102 alsoG2532 SaraG4564 herselfG846 receivedG2983 strengthG1411 toG1519 conceiveG2602 seedG4690, andG2532 was delivered of a childG5088 when she was pastG3844 ageG2540+G2244, becauseG1893 she judgedG2233 him faithfulG4103 who had promisedG1861.
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.
TheseG3778 allG3956 diedG599 inG2596 faithG4102, notG3361 having receivedG2983 the promisesG1860, butG235 having seenG1492 themG846 afar offG4207, andG2532 were persuaded ofG3982 them, andG2532 embracedG782 them, andG2532 confessedG3670 thatG3754 they wereG1526 strangersG3581 andG2532 pilgrimsG3927 onG1909 the earthG1093. {in faith: Gr. according to faith}
ForG1063 they that sayG3004 such thingsG5108 declare plainlyG1718 thatG3754 they seekG1934 a countryG3968.
AndG2532 trulyG3303, ifG1487 they had been mindfulG3421 of thatG1565 country fromG575 whenceG3739 they came outG1831, they mightG302 have hadG2192 opportunityG2540 to have returnedG344.
ButG1161 nowG3570 they desireG3713 a betterG2909 country, that isG5123, an heavenlyG2032: whereforeG1352 GodG2316 isG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870+G846 to be calledG1941 theirG846 GodG2316: forG1063 he hath preparedG2090 for themG846 a cityG4172.
By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, when he was triedG3985, offered upG4374 IsaacG2464: andG2532 he that had receivedG324 the promisesG1860 offered upG4374 his only begottenG3439 son,
OfG4314 whomG3739 it was saidG2980, ThatG3754 inG1722 IsaacG2464 shallG2564 thyG4671 seedG4690 be calledG2564: {of: or, to}
AccountingG3049 thatG3754 GodG2316 was ableG1415 to raise him upG1453, evenG2532 fromG1537 the deadG3498; from whenceG3606 alsoG2532 he receivedG2865 himG846 inG1722 a figureG3850.
WhereforeG1161, ifG1487 GodG2316 soG3779 clotheG294 the grassG5528 of the fieldG68, which to dayG4594 isG5607, andG2532 to morrowG839 is castG906 intoG1519 the ovenG2823, shall he notG3756 muchG4183 moreG3123 clothe youG5209, O ye of little faithG3640?
AndG2532 he saithG3004 unto themG846, WhyG5101 are yeG2075 fearfulG1169, O ye of little faithG3640? ThenG5119 he aroseG1453, and rebukedG2008 the windsG417 andG2532 the seaG2281; andG2532 there wasG1096 a greatG3173 calmG1055.
AndG1161 immediatelyG2112 JesusG2424 stretched forthG1614 his handG5495, and caughtG1949 himG846, andG2532 saidG3004 unto himG846, O thou of little faithG3640, whereforeG1519+G5101 didst thou doubtG1365?
JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto himG846, IfG1487 thou canstG1410 believeG4100, all thingsG3956 are possibleG1415 to himG846 that believethG4100.
AndG2532 straightwayG2112 the fatherG3962 of the childG3813 cried outG2896, and saidG3004 withG3326 tearsG1144, LordG2962, I believeG4100; help thouG997 mineG3450 unbeliefG570.
