What then shall we say Abraham our father to have found, according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has boasting; but not toward God. For what says the writing? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for justice. read more.
And to him working, the reward is not reckoned according to favor, but according to debt. And to him not working, and believing upon him justifying the impious, his faith is reckoned for justice. As also David speaks the happiness of the man, to whom God reckons justice without works, Happy they whose iniquities were remitted, and whose sins were covered. A happy man to whom the Lord should not reckon sin. This happiness then upon circumcision, or upon uncircumcision? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for justice. How then was it reckoned? to him being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the justice of the faith which in uncircumcision: for him to be father of all believing through uncircumcision; for justice also to be reckoned to them: And father of circumcision to them not of circumcision only, but also to them, walking in order in the tracks of the uncircumcision, of the faith of our father Abraham. For not by the law, the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, for him to be heir of the world, but by the justice of faith. For if they of the law, heirs, faith was made void, and the promise left inactive: For the law works wrath: for where is no law, no transgression. Therefore of faith, that according to grace; the promise to be firm to all the seed; not to that of the law only, but also to that of the faith of Abraham; who is father of us all, (As it has been written, That have set thee father of many nations,) over against him who believed God, making alive the dead, and calling things not being as being. Who against hope believed upon hope, for him to become father of many nations, according to that said, So shall thy seed be. And not having been weak in faith, he observed not his own body already having been dead, being about a hundred years, and the death of Sarah's womb: And for the promise of God he was not separated by unbelief; but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God; And made perfectly certain that, what was promised, he is able to do. And therefore it was reckoned to him for justice.

As Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for justice. Know ye therefore that they of faith, these are sons of Abraham. And the writing, foreseeing that of faith God justifies the nations, announced beforehand the good news to Abraham, That in thee shall all nations be praised. read more.
So that they of faith are praised with faithful Abraham.

By faith Abraham, being called, listened, to go forth into the place which he was about to receive for an inheritance; and he came out, not knowing where he is coming. By faith he dwelt in the land of promise, as a strange land, having dwelt in tents with Isaac and Jacob, co-heirs of the same promise: For he awaited a city having foundations, whose artificer and maker is God.

By faith Abraham had brought near Isaac, being tried: and he having received the promises brought near the only born, To whom it was spoken, That in Isaac shall seed be called to thee: Reckoning that God was also able to raise from the dead; whence he also received him in a parable.

Was not Abraham our father justified by works, having brought up Isaac his son upon the altar Thou seest that faith cooperated with his works, and from works was faith perfected. And the writing was completed, saying, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for justice: and he was called the Friend of God. read more.
Therefore ye see that man is justified from works, and not from faith alone.

And he believed in Jehovah; and it shall be reckoned to him justice. read more.
And he will say to him, I am Jehovah who brought thee from Ur of the Chaldees to give thee this land to inherit it. And he will say, My Lord Jehovah, how shall I know that I shall inherit it?






Therefore as by the fall of one for all men to condemnation; so also by the justification of one for all men to justification of life.



What then shall we say? That the nations, not following justice, overtook justice, and the justice of faith.

After these words, the word of Jehovah was to Abram in a vision, saying, Thou shalt not fear, Abram: I a shield to thee, thy reward great exceedingly.

And he will take to him all these, and he will divide them, asunder in the midst, and will put each of its parts divided, opposite its companion: and the birds he divided not And the birds will come down upon the dead carcases, and Abram will drive them together. And the sun shall be going down, and a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and behold terror and great darkness fell upon him. And he will say to Abram, Knowing thou shalt know that thy seed shall be a sojourner in the land not to them; and they shall serve them and they shall humble them four hundred years. And also the nation whom they shall serve, I will judge, and after this they shall come forth with great substance. And thou shalt go to thy fathers in tranquillity; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. And the fourth generation they shall turn back hither: for the crime of the Amorite has not been completed till now. And the sun shall be going down, and it was thick darkness, and behold a furnace of smoke and a lamp of fire that passed over between these pieces.
