What then will we say to have discovered Abraham, the ancestor of us, according to [the] flesh?

If for Abraham by works was justified, he has ground of boasting, but not toward God.

What for the Scripture says? Believed then Abraham in God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.”

To the [one] now working, the reward not is reckoned according to grace, but according to debt.

To the [one] however not working, believing however on the [One] justifying the ungodly, is reckoned the faith of him for righteousness,

just as also David declares the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

Blessed [are] they of whom are forgiven the lawless deeds, and of whom are covered the sins;

blessed [is] [the] man of whom no not may reckon [the] Lord sin.”

[Is] the blessing then this on the circumcision, or also on the uncircumcision? We are saying for was credited to Abraham the faith as righteousness.

How then was it credited? In circumcision being, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

And [the] sign he received of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith that [he had] [while] in the uncircumcision, for the to be him father of all those believing, in uncircumcision, for to be credited also to them the righteousness,

and father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only, but also to those walking in the steps during uncircumcision faith of the father of us, Abraham.

Not for through [the] Law [was] the promise to Abraham or to the descendants of him that heir he being [of the] world, but through [the] righteousness of faith.

If for those of [the] Law [are] heirs, has been made void faith, and has been nullified the promise.

Therefore it [is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace, for to be sure the promise to all the seed, not to that of the law only, but also to that of [the] faith of Abraham, who is [the] father of all of us —

as it has been written that: A father of many nations I have made you.” before whom he believed God, who is giving life to the dead and calling the things not [into] being even existing,

who against hope, in hope believed, for to become him [the] father of many nations, according to that spoken, So will be the offspring of you.”

And not having become weak in the faith, he considered his own body already expired, a hundred years old about being, and the lifelessness of the womb of Sarah.

About however the promise of God, not he did waver through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God,

and having been fully assured that what He has promised, able He is also to do.

Therefore also it was credited to him unto righteousness.”

Not it was written now on account of him alone that it was credited to him,

but also on account of us, to whom it is about to be credited, to those believing on the [One] having raised Jesus the Lord of us out from [the] dead,

who was delivered over for the trespasses of us, and was raised for the justification of us.
