by the law of faith.
[28] Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the
law.
[29] Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
[30]
Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
[31]
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Rom.4
[1] What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
[2] For if Abraham
were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
[3] For what saith the scripture?
Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
[4] Now to him that worketh is
the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
[5] But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that
justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
[6] Even as David also describeth the blessedness
of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
[7] Saying, Blessed are they whose
iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
[8] Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not
impute sin.
[9] Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision
also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
[10] How was it then reckoned?
when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
[11] And
he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being
uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that
righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
[12] And the father of circumcision to them who are not
of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he
had being yet uncircumcised.
[13] For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to
Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
[14] For if they which
are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
[15] Because the law
worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
[16] Therefore it is of faith, that it might be
by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to
that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
[17] (As it is written, I have made
thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and
calleth those things which be not as though they were.
[18] Who against hope believed in hope, that
he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed
be.
[19] And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about
an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb:
[20] He staggered not at the promise
of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
[21] And being fully persuaded that,
what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
[22] And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
[23]
Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
[24] But for us also, to whom it shall
be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
[25] Who was delivered
for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
Rom.5
[1] Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
[2] By whom
also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
[3]
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
[4] And patience,
experience; and experience, hope:
[5] And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed
abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
[6] For when we were yet without strength,
in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
[7] For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure
for a good man some would even dare to die.
[8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while
we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
[9] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall
be saved from wrath through him.
[10] For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the
death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
[11] And not only so, but
we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
[12]
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all
men, for that all have sinned:
[13] (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when
there is no law.
[14] Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned
