| [1]What? therefore do we say about Abraham the chief of the fathers that he had found in the flesh |
[1]What shall we say then, that Abraham our father hath found concerning the flesh? |
| [2]If for Abraham from works justified were it were to him a pride but not in the Presence of Alaha |
[2]For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath wherein to rejoice, but not with God. |
| [3]What? for say the scriptures "believed Abraham to Alaha and it was accounted to him for righteousness |
[3]For what saith the Scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness. |
| [4]To the one who labors but not is accounted to him one's wages as that which is by a favor but as that which is owed to him |
[4]Now to him that worketh, the wages is not counted by favor, but by debt, |
| [5]To one but who not labors but believes only in The One Who justifies sinners is accounted to him his faith for righteousness |
[5]But to him that worketh not, but believeth in him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. |
| [6]Just as that also David said about the blessedness of the man him Alaha accounts to whom righteousness without works as he said |
[6]Even as David declareth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, saying, |
| [7]Their blessings to those whose are forgiven them evils and are covered their sins |
[7]Blessed are they, whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. |
| [8]And his blessings to the man whom not will reckon to him Alaha his sins |
[8]Blessed is the man, to whom the Lord imputeth not sin. |
| [9]This therefore blessing on the circumcision is? or on the uncircumcision we say for was accounted to Abraham his faith for righteousness |
[9]Came this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? For we say, that faith was imputed unto Abraham for righteousness. |
| [10]How? therefore was it accounted to him in circumcision or in uncircumcision not it was in circumcision but in uncircumcision |
[10]How was it then imputed? when he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? not when he was circumcised, but when he was uncircumcised. |
| [11]A sign is for he received circumcision and the seal of the righteousness of his faith when in uncircumcision that he would be the father to all those who believe among the uncircumcision that it shall be reckoned also to them for righteousness |
[11]After he received the sign of circumcision, as the seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had, when he was uncircumcised, that he should be the father of all them that believe, not being circumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also, |
| [12]And the father to the circumcision not he was to those who from the circumcision are only but also to those who follow the steps of faith of the uncircumcision of our father Abraham |
[12]And the father of circumcision, not unto them only which are of the circumcision, but unto them also that walk in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham, which he had when he was uncircumcised. |
| [13]Not it was for by The Written Law there was the promise to Abraham and his seed that he would be the heir to the universe but by the righteousness of his faith |
[13]For the promise that he should be the heir of the world, was not given to Abraham, or to his seed, through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith. |
| [14]If for these who of The Written Law were the heirs worthless would have been faith and become void would have the promise |
[14]For if they which are of the Law, be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of none effect. |
| [15]The Written Law for the worker is of rage where there is no for written Law neither is there a violation of The Written Law |
[15]For the Law causeth wrath: for where no Law is, there is no transgression. |
| [16]Because of this in faith which is by grace one will be justified and will be sure the promise to all his seed not to the one who of The Written Law is only but also to the one who of the faith is of Abraham who is the father of us all |
[16]Therefore it is by faith, that it might come by grace, and the promise might be sure to all the seed, not to that only which is of the Law: but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, |
| [17]Just as what is written "I have appointed you the father to a multitude of the nations" before Alaha the same you believed in Whom Who gives life to the dead and He calls those who not are as if they are |
[17](As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations) even before God whom he believed, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not, as though they were. |
| [18]And without hope hope he believed that he would be the father to the multitude of the nations as that is written "Like this shall be your seed" |
[18]Which Abraham above hope, believed under hope, that he should be the father of many nations: according to that which was spoken to him, So shall thy seed be. |
| [19]And not he failed in his faith when he considered his body dead for he was a son of one hundred years and the womb dead of Sara |
[19]And he not weak in the faith, considered not his own body, which was now dead, being almost an hundredth year old, neither the deadness of Sarah's womb. |
| [20]And the promise of Alaha not he doubted as if lacking faith but he was strengthened in faith and he gave praise to Alaha |
[20]Neither did he doubt of the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in the faith, and gave glory to God, |
| [21]And he affirmed that whatever had promised to him Alaha He was able to perform |
[21]Being fully assured that he which had promised, was also able to do it. |
| [22]Because of this it was accounted to him for righteousness |
[22]And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. |
| [23]And not it was for his sake only was written this that was accounted his faith for righteousness |
[23]Now it is not written for him only, that it was imputed to him for righteousness, |
| [24]But also for our sake for to us also He going is to reckon who we believe in The One Who raised our Lord Ieshu The Messiah from the house of the dead |
[24]But also for us, to whom it shall be imputed for righteousness, which believe in him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead. |
| [25]Him Who was handed over because of our sins and He arose so that He would justify us |
[25]Who was delivered to death for our sins, and is risen again for our justification. |
