through whom we have received grace and apostleship for the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles on behalf of his name,

First, I give thanks to my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed in the whole world.

that is, to be encouraged together with you through {our mutual faith}, both yours and mine.

For the righteousness of God is revealed in it from faith to faith, just as it is written, "But the one who is righteous by faith will live."

that is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. For [there] is no distinction,

whom God made publicly available as the mercy seat through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness, because of the passing over of previously committed sins,

in the forbearance of God, for the demonstration of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just and the one who justifies the [person] by faith in Jesus.

Therefore, where [is] boasting? It has been excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.

For we consider a person to be justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

since God [is] one, who will justify {those who are circumcised} by faith and {those who are uncircumcised} through faith.

Therefore, do we nullify the law through faith? May it never be! But we uphold the law.

But to the one who does not work, but who believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited for righteousness,

Therefore, [is] this blessing for {those who are circumcised}, or also for {those who are uncircumcised}? For we say, "Faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness."

And he received the sign of circumcision [as] a seal of the righteousness by faith which [he had] {while uncircumcised}, so that he could be the father of all who believe {although they are uncircumcised}, so that righteousness could be credited to them,

and the father {of those who are circumcised} to those who are not only from the circumcision, but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith of our father Abraham {which he had while uncircumcised}.

For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants, [that] he would be heir of the world, [was] not through the law, but through the righteousness by faith.

For if those of the law [are] heirs, faith is rendered void and the promise is nullified.

Because of this, [it is] by faith, in order that [it may be] according to grace, so that the promise may be secure to all the descendants, not only to those of the law, but also to those of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

And not being weak in faith, he considered his own body as good as dead, [because he] was approximately a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb.

And he did not waver in unbelief at the promise of God, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God

Therefore, [because we] have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

through whom also we have [obtained] access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God.

What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness--even the righteousness [that is] by faith.

Why that? Because [they did] not [pursue it] by faith, but as [if] by works. They stumbled over the {stone that causes people to stumble},

But the righteousness from faith speaks like this: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down),

But what does it say? "The word is near to you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim),

Consequently, faith [comes] by hearing, and hearing through the word about Christ.

Well said! They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand firm because of faith. Do not think arrogant [thoughts], but be afraid.

For by the grace given to me I say to everyone who is among you not to think more highly of yourself than what one ought to think, but to think {sensibly}, as God has apportioned a measure of faith to each one.

but having different gifts according to the grace given to us: if [it is] prophecy, according to the proportion of [his] faith;

Now receive the one who is weak in faith, [but] not for quarrels about opinions.

The faith that you have, have with respect to yourself before God. Blessed [is] the one who does not pass judgment on himself by what he approves.

But the one who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not [do so] from faith, and everything that [is] not from faith is sin.
