Basic HTML Version
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.
CHAPTER 5
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2
By
whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the
glory of God.
3
And not only
so,
but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh
patience;
4
And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5
And hope maketh not ashamed;
because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
6
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7
For scarcely for
