Romans 4:1-12
Abraham Justified by Faith

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

1:

2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath [whereof] to glory; but not before God.

2:

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

3:

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

4:

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

5:

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

6:

7 [Saying], Blessed [are] they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

7:

8 Blessed [is] the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

8:

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.

9:

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

10:

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:

11:

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.

12:
