by whom we have received grace and apostleship in behalf of his name, for obedience of faith among all the nations,

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world.

that is, to have mutual comfort among you, each by the faith which is in the other, both yours and mine.

for righteousness of God is revealed therein, on the principle of faith, to faith: according as it is written, But the just shall live by faith.

For what? if some have not believed, shall their unbelief make the faith of God of none effect?

righteousness of God by faith of Jesus Christ towards all,and upon all those who believe: for there is no difference;

whom God has set forth a mercy-seat, through faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of his righteousness, in respect of the passing by the sins that had taken place before, through the forbearance of God;

for the shewing forth of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just, and justify him that is of the faith of Jesus.

Where then is boasting? It has been excluded. By what law? of works? Nay, but by law of faith;

for we reckon that a man is justified by faith, without works of law.

since indeed it is one God who shall justify the circumcision on the principle of faith, and uncircumcision by faith.

Do we then make void law by faith? Far be the thought: no, but we establish law.

but to him who does not work, but believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.

Does this blessedness then rest on the circumcision, or also on the uncircumcision? For we say that faith has been reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.

And he received the sign of circumcision as seal of the righteousness of faith which he had being in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all them that believe being in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned to them also;

and father of circumcision, not only to those who are of the circumcision, but to those also who walk in the steps of the faith, during uncircumcision, of our father Abraham.

For it was not by law that the promise was to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world, but by righteousness of faith.

For if they which are of law be heirs, faith is made vain, and the promise made of no effect.

Therefore it is on the principle of faith, that it might be according to grace, in order to the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of Abraham's faith, who is father of us all,

and not being weak in faith, he considered not his own body already become dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadening of Sarah's womb,

and hesitated not at the promise of God through unbelief; but found strength in faith, giving glory to God;

Therefore having been justified on the principle of faith, we have peace towards God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

by whom we have also access by faith into this favour in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God.

What then shall we say? That they of the nations, who did not follow after righteousness, have attained righteousness, but the righteousness that is on the principle of faith.

Wherefore? Because it was not on the principle of faith, but as of works. They have stumbled at the stumblingstone,

But the righteousness of faith speaks thus: Do not say in thine heart, Who shall ascend to the heavens? that is, to bring Christ down;

But what says it? The word is near thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach:

So faith then is by a report, but the report by God's word.

Right: they have been broken out through unbelief, and thou standest through faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:

For I say, through the grace which has been given to me, to every one that is among you, not to have high thoughts above what he should think; but to think so as to be wise, as God has dealt to each a measure of faith.

But having different gifts, according to the grace which has been given to us, whether it be prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

Now him that is weak in the faith receive, not to the determining of questions of reasoning.

Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Blessed is he who does not judge himself in what he allows.

But he that doubts, if he eat, is condemned; because it is not of faith; but whatever is not of faith is sin.

but which has now been made manifest, and by prophetic scriptures, according to commandment of the eternal God, made known for obedience of faith to all the nations --
