Abraham » Faith of
Then what shall we say that Abraham, our father according to the flesh, has found? For if Abraham were justified by works, he has glorification; but not before God. For what does the scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness. read more.
But to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt; but to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness. Indeed David also speaks of the blessedness of the man, to whom God imputes righteousness without works, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man of whom the Lord may not impute sin. Then does this blessedness come on the circumcision, or on the uncircumcision? for we say That faith was imputed to Abraham for righteousness. Then how was it imputed? to him, being in circumcision or uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. And he received the sign of circumcision, and the seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had in uncircumcision: that he should be the father of all who believed, through uncircumcision; and righteousness should be imputed to them; and the father of circumcision to them who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision. For the promise to Abraham or his seed, that he should be the heir of the world, was not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. For if the heirs were by the law, faith has been made void, and the promise vitiated. For the law works out wrath: for where there is no law, there is no transgression. Therefore it is by faith, in order that it may be by grace; that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not only of the law, but also of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, as it has been written, That I have constituted thee the father of many nations, before God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls things which are not as really existing: who against hope confided in hope, that he should be the father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall thy seed be: and being not weak in faith, he considered not his body already dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb: but he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was filled up with dynamite through faith, having given glory to God; and being fully assured, that whatsoever he has promised, he is able also to perform. Therefore it was indeed imputed unto him for righteousness.
But to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt; but to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness. Indeed David also speaks of the blessedness of the man, to whom God imputes righteousness without works, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man of whom the Lord may not impute sin. Then does this blessedness come on the circumcision, or on the uncircumcision? for we say That faith was imputed to Abraham for righteousness. Then how was it imputed? to him, being in circumcision or uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. And he received the sign of circumcision, and the seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had in uncircumcision: that he should be the father of all who believed, through uncircumcision; and righteousness should be imputed to them; and the father of circumcision to them who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision. For the promise to Abraham or his seed, that he should be the heir of the world, was not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. For if the heirs were by the law, faith has been made void, and the promise vitiated. For the law works out wrath: for where there is no law, there is no transgression. Therefore it is by faith, in order that it may be by grace; that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not only of the law, but also of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, as it has been written, That I have constituted thee the father of many nations, before God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls things which are not as really existing: who against hope confided in hope, that he should be the father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall thy seed be: and being not weak in faith, he considered not his body already dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb: but he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was filled up with dynamite through faith, having given glory to God; and being fully assured, that whatsoever he has promised, he is able also to perform. Therefore it was indeed imputed unto him for righteousness.
As Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Then know that those who are of faith, the same are the sons of Abraham. But the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, That in thee shall all the Gentiles be blessed. read more.
Therefore those who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
Therefore those who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
By faith Abraham, being called to go out into a place which he was about to receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and went out, not knowing whither he goes. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as a strange country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow-heirs of the same promise: for he anticipated a city having foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
By faith Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac: and the one having received the promises offered up his only begotten son, in reference to whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called: considering that God is able to raise him from the dead; whence he also received him in a figure.
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, having offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith wrought with his works, and by works the faith was made perfect; and the scripture was fulfilled, saying, And Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the friend of God. read more.
You see that a man is justified by works, and not only by faith.
You see that a man is justified by works, and not only by faith.

And by faith Sarah herself received power unto the conception of seed, even past the time of age, since she considered him faithful who had promised. Therefore indeed they were born of one, and those things of one having died, as the stars of heaven for multitude, and as the sands which are by the sea, which are innumerable. These all died in the faith, not having received the promises, but seeing them afar off, and embracing them, and confessing that they are strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For those speaking such things declare that they are seeking after a country of their own. If indeed they remember that country from which they came out, they would have had an opportunity to return; but now they seek a better country, that is, a heavenly. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city.
