Abraham » Faith of
What shall we say then that Abraham our father found according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works he has [occasion for] boasting, but not before God. For what says the Scripture? And Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness. read more.
But to one that works the reward is not accounted by grace but by debt. But to one that works not, but believes on him that justifies the wicked, his faith is [accounted] for righteousness. As David describes the blessedness of the man to whom the Lord accounts righteousness without works, Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not account sin. Is this blessedness then on the circumcision? or also on the uncircumcision? [Also on the uncircumcision.] For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness. How then was it accounted? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. And he received the symbol of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which was in uncircumcision, so that he became the father of all that believe in uncircumcision, that righteousness may also be accounted to them, and a father of circumcision not to those of the circumcision only, but to those also who walk in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham which was in uncircumcision. For the promise to Abraham and his posterity that he should inherit the world was not through the law but through the righteousness of faith. For if the subjects of the law are heirs, the faith is done away and the promise abrogated. For the law produces wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression. Therefore it is by faith that it may be by grace, that the promise may be sure to all the posterity, not to that of the law only but to that of the faith of Abraham, who is a father of us all, as it is written, I have made you a father of many nations before God in whom he believed, who makes the dead alive and calls things which do not exist as existing.??18 who against hope believed in hope that he should become a father of many nations according to the saying shall your posterity be. And being not weak in faith, he did not regard himself as dead, being now about a hundred years old, nor Sarah's incapacity for child-bearing, and he did not doubt the promise of God by unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God, being fully persuaded that what he had promised he was able to perform. Wherefore also it was accounted to him for righteousness.

As Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him a righteousness. Know, therefore, that those of faith, these are children of Abraham. And the Scripture foreseeing that God would justify the nations by faith, promised before to Abraham, In you shall all the nations be blessed. read more.
Those of faith, therefore, are blessed with believing Abraham.
Those of faith, therefore, are blessed with believing Abraham.
By faith Abraham being called obeyed and went out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance, and went out not knowing where he was going. By faith he resided temporarily in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, co-heirs of the same promise; for he looked for the city which has foundations [fixed abodes] whose designer and builder is God.
By faith Abraham when tried offered Isaac, and he that received the promises offered his only son, of whom it was said, In Isaac shall your posterity be called, judging that God was able to raise even from the dead; whence also in a figure he received him.
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? You see that faith cooperated with his works, and by works was faith made perfect, and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, And Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him a righteousness, and he was called God's friend. read more.
You see then that a man is justified by works and not by faith only.
You see then that a man is justified by works and not by faith only.
