4:1
quid ergo dicemus invenisse Abraham patrem nostrum secundumcarnem

4:2
si enim Abraham ex operibus iustificatus est habet gloriamsed non apud Deum

4:3
quid enim scriptura dicit credidit Abraham Deo et reputatumest illi ad iustitiam

4:4
ei autem qui operatur merces non inputatur secundum gratiamsed secundum debitum

4:5
ei vero qui non operatur credenti autem in eum quiiustificat impium reputatur fides eius ad iustitiam

4:6
sicut et David dicit beatitudinem hominis cui Deus acceptofert iustitiam sine operibus

4:7
beati quorum remissae sunt iniquitates et quorum tecta suntpeccata

4:8
beatus vir cui non inputabit Dominus peccatum

4:9
beatitudo ergo haec in circumcisione an etiam in praeputiodicimus enim quia reputata est Abrahae fides ad iustitiam

4:10
quomodo ergo reputata est in circumcisione an in praeputionon in circumcisione sed in praeputio

4:11
et signum accepit circumcisionis signaculum iustitiae fideiquae est in praeputio ut sit pater omnium credentium perpraeputium ut reputetur et illis ad iustitiam

4:12
et sit pater circumcisionis non his tantum qui sunt excircumcisione sed et his qui sectantur vestigia quae est inpraeputio fidei patris nostri Abrahae

4:13
non enim per legem promissio Abrahae aut semini eius utheres esset mundi sed per iustitiam fidei

4:14
si enim qui ex lege heredes sunt exinanita est fidesabolita est promissio

4:15
lex enim iram operatur ubi enim non est lex necpraevaricatio

4:16
ideo ex fide ut secundum gratiam ut firma sit promissioomni semini non ei qui ex lege est solum sed et ei qui ex fideest Abrahae qui est pater omnium nostrum

4:17
sicut scriptum est quia patrem multarum gentium posui teante Deum cui credidit qui vivificat mortuos et vocat quae nonsunt tamquam ea quae sunt

4:18
qui contra spem in spem credidit ut fieret pater multarumgentium secundum quod dictum est sic erit semen tuum

4:19
et non infirmatus fide consideravit corpus suum emortuumcum fere centum annorum esset et emortuam vulvam Sarrae

4:20
in repromissione etiam Dei non haesitavit diffidentia sedconfortatus est fide dans gloriam Deo

4:21
plenissime sciens quia quaecumque promisit potens est etfacere

4:22
ideo et reputatum est illi ad iustitiam

4:23
non est autem scriptum tantum propter ipsum quia reputatumest illi

4:24
sed et propter nos quibus reputabitur credentibus in eumqui suscitavit Iesum Dominum nostrum a mortuis

4:25
qui traditus est propter delicta nostra et resurrexitpropter iustificationem nostram

004:001
What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?

004:002
For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.

004:003
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

004:004
Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

004:005
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

004:006
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

004:007
Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

004:008
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

004:009
Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

004:010
How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

004:011
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:

004:012
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.

004:013
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.

004:014
For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:

004:015
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

004:016
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,

004:017
(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.

004:018
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.

004:019
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 Sarah's womb:

004:020
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

004:021
And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

004:022
And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

004:023
Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;

004:024
But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

004:025
Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
