• 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 Sarah’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.

• 1 What ^{G5101 I-ASN} shall we say ^{G2046 V-FAI-1P} then ^{G3767 CONJ} that Abraham ^{G11 N-PRI} our ^{G3588 T-ASM} father ^{G3962 N-ASM} , as pertaining ^{G2596 PREP} to the flesh ^{G4561 N-ASF} , hath found ^{G2147 V-RAN} ?
• 2 For ^{G1063 CONJ} if ^{G1487 COND} Abraham ^{G11 N-PRI} were justified ^{G1344 V-API-3S} by ^{G1537 PREP} works ^{G2041 N-GPN} , he hath ^{G2192 V-PAI-3S} whereof to glory ^{G2745 N-ASN} ; but ^{G235 CONJ} not ^{G3756 PRT-N} before ^{G4314 PREP} God ^{G2316 N-ASM} .
• 3 For ^{G1063 CONJ} what ^{G5101 I-ASN} saith ^{G3004 V-PAI-3S} the ^{G3588 T-NSF} Scripture ^{G1124 N-NSF} ? Abraham ^{G11 N-PRI} believed ^{G4100 V-AAI-3S} God ^{G2316 N-DSM} , and ^{G2532 CONJ} it was counted ^{G3049 V-API-3S} unto him ^{G846 P-DSM} for ^{G1519 PREP} righteousness ^{G1343 N-ASF} .
• 4 Now ^{G1161 CONJ} to him that worketh ^{G2038 V-PNP-DSM} is the ^{G3588 T-NSM} reward ^{G3408 N-NSM} not ^{G3756 PRT-N} reckoned ^{G3049 V-PNI-3S} of ^{G2596 PREP} grace ^{G5485 N-ASF} , but ^{G235 CONJ} of ^{G2596 PREP} debt ^{G3783 N-ASN} .
• 5 But ^{G1161 CONJ} to him that worketh ^{G2038 V-PNP-DSM} not ^{G3361 PRT-N} , but ^{G1161 CONJ} believeth ^{G4100 V-PAP-DSM} on ^{G1909 PREP} him that justifieth ^{G1344 V-PAP-ASM} the ^{G3588 T-ASM} ungodly ^{G765 A-ASM} , his ^{G3588 T-NSF} faith ^{G4102 N-NSF} is counted ^{G3049 V-PNI-3S} for ^{G1519 PREP} righteousness ^{G1343 N-ASF} .
• 6 Even as ^{G2509 ADV} David ^{G1138 N-PRI} also ^{G2532 CONJ} describeth ^{G3004 V-PAI-3S} the ^{G3588 T-ASM} blessedness ^{G3108 N-ASM} of ^{G3588 T-GSM} the ^{G3588 T-GSM} man ^{G444 N-GSM} , unto whom ^{G3588 T-NSM} God ^{G2316 N-NSM} imputeth ^{G3049 V-PNI-3S} righteousness ^{G1343 N-ASF} without ^{G5565 ADV} works ^{G2041 N-GPN} ,
• 7 Saying , Blessed ^{G3107 A-NPM} are they ^{G3588 T-NPF} whose ^{G3739 R-GPM} iniquities ^{G458 N-NPF} are forgiven ^{G863 V-API-3P} , and ^{G2532 CONJ} whose ^{G3739 R-GPM} sins ^{G266 N-NPF} are covered ^{G1943 V-API-3P} .
• 8 Blessed ^{G3107 A-NSM} is the man ^{G435 N-NSM} to whom ^{G3739 R-DSM} the Lord ^{G2962 N-NSM} will not ^G3364 impute ^{G3049 V-ADS-3S} sin ^{G266 N-ASF} .
• 9 Cometh this ^{G3588 T-NSM} blessedness ^{G3108 N-NSM} then ^{G3767 CONJ} upon ^{G1909 PREP} the ^{G3588 T-ASF} circumcision ^{G4061 N-ASF} only , or ^{G2228 PRT} upon ^{G1909 PREP} the ^{G3588 T-ASF} uncircumcision ^{G203 N-ASF} also ^{G2532 CONJ} ? for ^{G1063 CONJ} we say ^{G3004 V-PAI-1P} that ^{G3588 T-NSF} faith ^{G4102 N-NSF} was reckoned ^{G3049 V-API-3S} to Abraham ^{G11 N-PRI} for ^{G1519 PREP} righteousness ^{G1343 N-ASF} .
• 10 How ^{G4459 ADV-I} was it then ^{G3767 CONJ} reckoned ^{G3049 V-API-3S} ? when he was ^{G5607 V-PXP-DSM} in ^{G1722 PREP} circumcision ^{G4061 N-DSF} , or ^{G2228 PRT} in ^{G1722 PREP} uncircumcision ^{G203 N-DSF} ? Not ^{G3756 PRT-N} in ^{G1722 PREP} circumcision ^{G4061 N-DSF} , but ^{G235 CONJ} in ^{G1722 PREP} uncircumcision ^{G203 N-DSF} .
• 11 And ^{G2532 CONJ} he received ^{G2983 V-2AAI-3S} the sign ^{G4592 N-ASN} of circumcision ^{G4061 N-GSF} , a seal ^{G4973 N-ASF} of ^{G3588 T-GSF} the ^{G3588 T-GSF} righteousness ^{G1343 N-GSF} of ^{G3588 T-GSF} the ^{G3588 T-GSF} faith ^{G4102 N-GSF} which ^{G3588 T-GSF} he had yet being uncircumcised : that ^PREP he ^{G3588 T-ASN} might be ^{G1511 V-PXN} the father ^{G3962 N-ASM} of ^{G3588 T-GPM} all ^{G3956 A-GPM} them that believe ^{G4100 V-PAP-GPM} , though they be not circumcised ^{G203 N-DSF} ; that ^{G3588 T-ASN} righteousness ^{G1343 N-ASF} might be imputed ^{G3049 V-APN} unto them ^{G846 P-DPM} also ^{G2532 CONJ} :

• 1 What, then, shall we say Abraham our father, to have found, according to flesh?
• 2 for if Abraham by works was declared righteous, he hath to boast -- but not before god;
• 3 for what doth the writing say? `And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness;`
• 4 and to him who is working, the reward is not reckoned of grace, but of debt;
• 5 and to him who is not working, and is believing upon Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned -- to righteousness:
• 6 even as David also doth speak of the happiness of the man to whom God doth reckon righteousness apart from works:
• 7 `Happy they whose lawless acts were forgiven, and whose sins were covered;
• 8 happy the man to whom the Lord may not reckon sin.`
• 9 Is this happiness, then, upon the circumcision, or also upon the uncircumcision -- for we say that the faith was reckoned to Abraham -- to righteousness?
• 10 how then was it reckoned? he being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision;
• 11 and a sign he did receive of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them,
• 12 and father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of the faith, that is in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.
• 13 For not through law is the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith;
• 14 for if they who are of law are heirs, the faith hath been made void, and the promise hath been made useless;
• 15 for the law doth work wrath; for where law is not, neither is transgression.
• 16 Because of this it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which is of the law only, but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham,
• 17 who is father of us all (according as it hath been written -- `A father of many nations I have set thee,`) before Him whom he did believe -- God, who is quickening the dead, and is calling the things that be not as being.
• 18 Who, against hope in hope did believe, for his becoming father of many nations according to that spoken: `So shall thy seed be;`
• 19 and not having been weak in the faith, he did not consider his own body, already become dead, (being about a hundred years old,) and the deadness of Sarah's womb,
• 20 and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God,
• 21 and having been fully persuaded that what He hath promised He is able also to do:
• 22 wherefore also it was reckoned to him to righteousness.
• 23 And it was not written on his account alone, that it was reckoned to him,
• 24 but also on ours, to whom it is about to be reckoned -- to us believing on Him who did raise up Jesus our Lord out of the dead,
• 25 who was delivered up because of our offences, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous.

Romans 10:12

• 12 for there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all is rich to all those calling upon Him,

Galatians 3:28

• 28 there is not here Jew or Greek, there is not here servant nor freeman, there is not here male and female, for all ye are one in Christ Jesus;

Colossians 3:11

• 11 where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, freeman -- but the all and in all -- Christ.

Romans 4:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25

• 1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, hath found according to the flesh?
• 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward God.
• 3 For what saith the scripture? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.
• 4 Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt.
• 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.
• 6 Even as David also pronounceth blessing upon the man, unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from 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 reckon sin.
• 9 Is this blessing then pronounced upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say, To Abraham his faith was reckoned for righteousness.
• 10 How then was it 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 while he was in uncircumcision; that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned unto them;
• 12 and the father of circumcision to them who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he had in uncircumcision.
• 13 For not through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed that he should be heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.
• 14 For if they that are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of none effect:
• 15 for the law worketh wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.
• 16 For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace; to the end that the promise may 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, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, even God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were.
• 18 Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall thy seed be.
• 19 And without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarahs womb;
• 20 yet, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God,
• 21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
• 22 Wherefore also it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.
• 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned unto him;
• 24 but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
• 25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

Romans 10:12

• 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him:

• 1 What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
• 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.
• 3 For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."
• 4 Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as debt.
• 5 But to him who doesn't work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.
• 6 Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,
• 7 "Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, Whose sins are covered.
• 8 Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin."
• 9 Is this blessing then pronounced on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
• 10 How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
• 11 He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.
• 12 The father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.
• 13 For the promise to Abraham and to his seed that he should be heir of the world wasn't through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
• 14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.
• 15 For the law works wrath, for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.
• 16 For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, to the end that the promise may 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 you a father of many nations." This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.
• 18 Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, "So will your seed be."
• 19 Without being weakened in faith, he didn't consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb.
• 20 Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn't waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,
• 21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
• 22 Therefore it also was "reckoned to him for righteousness."
• 23 Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone,
• 24 but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus, our Lord, from the dead,
• 25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

• 1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, hath found?
• 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward God.
• 3 For what saith the scripture? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.
• 4 Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt.
• 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.

• 7 {cf15i saying}, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, And whose sins are covered.
• 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not reckon sin.
• 9 Is this blessing then pronounced upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say, To Abraham his faith was reckoned for righteousness.
• 10 How then was it 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 while he was in uncircumcision: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned unto them;
• 12 and the father of circumcision to them who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he had in uncircumcision.
• 13 For not through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.
• 14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of none effect:
• 15 for the law worketh wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.
• 16 For this cause {cf15i it is} of faith, that {cf15i it may be} according to grace; to the end that the promise may 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, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, {cf15i even} God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were.

• 1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, has found?
• 2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he has whereof to glory; but not before God.
• 3 For what said the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.
• 4 Now to him that works is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
• 5 But to him that works not, but believes on him that justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
• 6 Even as David also describes the blessedness of the man, to whom God imputes 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 Comes this blessedness then on the circumcision only, or on 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 to 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 works 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 you a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who vivifies the dead, and calls 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 your 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 Sarah'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 offenses, and was raised again for our justification.

• 1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our ancestor according to the flesh, has discovered regarding this matter?
• 2 For if Abraham was declared righteous by the works of the law, he has something to boast about— but not before God.
• 3 For what does the scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."
• 4 Now to the one who works, his pay is not credited due to grace but due to obligation.
• 5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous, his faith is credited as righteousness.
• 6 So even David himself speaks regarding the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
• 7 "Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered;
• 8 blessed is the one against whom the Lord will never count sin."
• 9 Is this blessedness then for the circumcision or also for the uncircumcision? For we say, "faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness."
• 10 How then was it credited to him? Was he circumcised at the time, or not? No, he was not circumcised but uncircumcised!
• 11 And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised, so that he would become the father of all those who believe but have never been circumcised, that they too could have righteousness credited to them.
• 12 And he is also the father of the circumcised, who are not only circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham possessed when he was still uncircumcised.
• 13 For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would inherit the world was not fulfilled through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.
• 14 For if they become heirs by the law, faith is empty and the promise is nullified.
• 15 For the law brings wrath, because where there is no law there is no transgression either.
• 16 For this reason it is by faith so that it may be by grace, with the result that the promise may be certain to all the descendants— not only to those who are under the law, but also to those who have the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all
• 17 (as it is written, "I have made you the father of many nations"). He is our father in the presence of God whom he believed— the God who makes the dead alive and summons the things that do not yet exist as though they already do.
• 18 Against hope Abraham believed in hope with the result that he became the father of many nations according to the pronouncement, "so will your descendants be."
• 19 Without being weak in faith, he considered his own body as dead (because he was about one hundred years old) and the deadness of Sarah's womb.
• 20 He did not waver in unbelief about the promise of God but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God.
• 21 He was fully convinced that what God promised he was also able to do.
• 22 So indeed it was credited to Abraham as righteousness.
• 23 But the statement it was credited to him was not written only for Abraham's sake,
• 24 but also for our sake, to whom it will be credited, those who believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
• 25 He was given over because of our transgressions and was raised for the sake of our justification.

Romans 4:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25

• 1 So what can we say about Abraham, the father of our people? What did he learn about faith?
• 2 If Abraham was made right by the things he did, he had a reason to boast about himself. But God knew different.
• 3 That's why the Scriptures say, "Abraham believed God, and because of this faith he was accepted as one who is right with God."
• 4 When people work, their pay is not given to them as a gift. They earn the pay they get.
• 5 But people cannot do any work that will make them right with God. So they must trust in him. Then he accepts their faith, and that makes them right with him. He is the one who makes even evil people right.
• 6 David said the same thing when he was talking about the blessing people have when God accepts them as good without looking at what they have done:
• 7 "What a blessing it is when people are forgiven for the wrongs they have done, when their sins are erased!
• 8 What a blessing it is when the Lord accepts people as if they are without sin!"
• 9 Is this blessing only for those who are circumcised? Or is it also for those who are not circumcised? We have already said that it was because of Abraham's faith that he was accepted as one who is right with God.
• 10 So how did this happen? Did God accept Abraham before or after he was circumcised? God accepted him before his circumcision.
• 11 Abraham was circumcised later to show that God accepted him. His circumcision was proof that he was right with God through faith before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the father of all those who believe but are not circumcised. They believe and are accepted as people who are right with God.
• 12 And Abraham is also the father of those who have been circumcised. But it is not their circumcision that makes him their father. He is their father only if they live following the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
• 13 Abraham and his descendants received the promise that they would get the whole world. But Abraham did not receive that promise because he followed the law. He received that promise because he was right with God through his faith.
• 14 If people could get God's promise by following the law, then faith is worthless. And God's promise to Abraham is worthless,
• 15 because the law can only bring God's anger on those who disobey it. But if there is no law, then there is nothing to disobey.
• 16 So people get what God promised by having faith. This happens so that the promise can be a free gift. And if the promise is a free gift, then all of Abraham's people will get that promise. The promise is not just for those who live under the Law of Moses. It is for all who live with faith as Abraham did. He is the father of us all.
• 17 As the Scriptures say, "I have made you a father of many nations." This is true before God, the one Abraham believed— the God who gives life to the dead and speaks of things that don't yet exist as if they are real.
• 18 There was no hope that Abraham would have children, but Abraham believed God and continued to hope. And that is why he became the father of many nations. As God told him, "You will have many descendants."
• 19 Abraham was almost a hundred years old, so he was past the age for having children. Also, Sarah could not have children. Abraham was well aware of this, but his faith in God never became weak.
• 20 He never doubted that God would do what he promised. He never stopped believing. In fact, he grew stronger in his faith and just praised God.
• 21 Abraham felt sure that God was able to do what he promised.
• 22 So that's why "he was accepted as one who is right with God."
• 23 These words ("he was accepted") were written not only for Abraham.
• 24 They were also written for us. God will also accept us because we believe. We believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from death.
• 25 Jesus was handed over to die for our sins, and he was raised from death to make us right with God.
