Romans 4

1 ¶ What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? What^G5101 say^G2046 then^G3767 Abraham^G11 our^G2257 father^G3962 pertaining^G2596 flesh^G4561 found^G2147 See also: Isaiah 51:2 Romans 4:16 John 8:56 Acts 13:26 2 Corinthians 11:22

2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. For^G1063 if^G1487 Abraham^G11 justified^G1344 by^G1537 works^G2041 hath^G2192 glory^G2745 but^G235 not^G3756 before^G4314 God^G2316 See also: 1 Corinthians 1:31 2 Corinthians 11:30 Philippians 3:9 Galatians 3:22 Ephesians 2:9

3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. For^G1063 what^G5101 saith^G3004 scripture^G1124 Abraham^G11 believed^G4100 God^G2316 and^G2532 counted^G3049 him^G846 for^G1519 righteousness^G1343 See also: Genesis 15:6 James 2:23 Galatians 3:6-8 Romans 4:9 Romans 4:22-25

4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. Now^G1161 worketh^G2038 is^G3049 reward^G3408 not^G3756 reckoned^G3049 of^G2596 grace^G5485 but^G235 of^G2596 debt^G3783 See also: Romans 11:6 Romans 9:32 Romans 11:35 Matthew 20:1-16

5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. But^G1161 worketh^G2038 not^G3361 but^G1161 believeth^G4100 on^G1909 justifieth^G1344 ungodly^G765 his^G846 faith^G4102 counted^G3049 for^G1519 righteousness^G1343 See also: Philippians 3:9 Romans 3:22 Titus 3:3-7 Romans 10:9-10 Galatians 3:8-14

6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, as^G2509 David^G1138 also^G2532 describeth^G3004 blessedness^G3108 man^G444 whom^G3739 God^G2316 imputeth^G3049 righteousness^G1343 without^G5565 works^G2041 See also: Ephesians 2:8-10 Philippians 3:9 2 Timothy 1:9 Galatians 3:8-9 1 Corinthians 1:30

7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed^G3107 whose^G3739 iniquities^G458 forgiven^G863 and^G2532 whose^G3739 sins^G266 covered^G1943 See also: Psalms 32:1-2 Psalms 130:3-4 Luke 7:47-50 Psalms 85:2 Micah 7:18-20

8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. Blessed^G3107 man^G435 whom^G3739 Lord^G2962 will^G3049 not^G3364 impute^G3049 sin^G266 See also: Psalms 32:2 1 Peter 2:24 2 Corinthians 5:19-20 1 Peter 3:18 Isaiah 53:10-12

9 ¶ Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. this^G3778 blessedness^G3108 then^G3767 upon^G1909 circumcision^G4061 or^G2228 upon^G1909 uncircumcision^G203 also^G2532 for^G1063 say^G3004 that^G3754 faith^G4102 reckoned^G3049 Abraham^G11 for^G1519 righteousness^G1343 See also: Galatians 3:14 Colossians 3:11 Romans 4:3 Galatians 3:26-28 Ephesians 3:8

10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. How^G4459 it^G3049 then^G3767 reckoned^G3049 was^G5607 in^G1722 circumcision^G4061 or^G2228 in^G1722 uncircumcision^G203 Not^G3756 in^G1722 circumcision^G4061 but^G235 in^G1722 uncircumcision^G203 See also: Galatians 6:15 Galatians 5:6 Genesis 15:5-6 Genesis 15:16 Genesis 16:1-3

11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also: And^G2532 received^G2983 sign^G4592 circumcision^G4061 seal^G4973 righteousness^G1343 faith^G4102 which^G3588 being^G1722 uncircumcised^G203 that^G1519 he^G846 be^G1511 father^G3962 all^G3956 believe^G4100 though^G1223 circumcised^G203 that^G1519 righteousness^G1343 imputed^G3049 them^G846 also^G2532 See also: Luke 19:9 Romans 3:22 2 Corinthians 1:22 Hebrews 11:7 John 6:35

12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised. And^G2532 father^G3962 circumcision^G4061 not^G3756 of^G1537 circumcision^G4061 only^G3440 but^G235 also^G2532 walk^G4748 steps^G2487 faith^G4102 our^G2257 father^G3962 Abraham^G11 being^G1722 uncircumcised^G203 See also: Proverbs 2:20 Song of Solomon 1:8 John 8:39-40 2 Corinthians 12:18 Galatians 4:22-31

13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. For^G1063 promise^G1860 be^G1511 the^G846 heir^G2818 world^G2889 not^G3756 Abraham^G11 or^G2228 his^G846 seed^G4690 through^G1223 law^G3551 but^G235 through^G1223 righteousness^G1343 faith^G4102 See also: Galatians 3:29 Genesis 28:14 Genesis 22:17-18 Romans 9:8 Psalms 2:8

14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: For^G1063 if^G1487 of^G1537 law^G3551 heirs^G2818 faith^G4102 void^G2758 and^G2532 promise^G1860 effect^G2673 See also: Galatians 3:18-24 Philippians 3:9 Hebrews 7:19 Isaiah 55:11 Romans 3:31

15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. Because^G1063 law^G3551 worketh^G2716 wrath^G3709 for^G1063 where^G3757 no^G3756 law^G3551 is^G2076 no^G3761 transgression^G3847 See also: Romans 5:13 Galatians 3:10 Romans 3:19-20 1 Corinthians 15:56 Romans 7:7-25

16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, Therefore^G1223 Therefore^G5124 of^G1537 faith^G4102 that^G2443 by^G2596 grace^G5485 end^G1519 promise^G1860 be^G1511 sure^G949 all^G3956 seed^G4690 not^G3756 only^G3440 of^G1537 law^G3551 but^G235 also^G2532 of^G1537 faith^G4102 Abraham^G11 who^G3739 is^G2076 father^G3962 us^G2257 all^G3956 See also: Romans 3:24-26 Ephesians 2:8 Romans 9:8 Galatians 3:22 Titus 3:7

17 ¶ (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. As^G2531 written^G1125 made^G5087 thee^G4571 father^G3962 many^G4183 nations^G1484 before^G2713 whom^G3739 believed^G4100 God^G2316 quickeneth^G2227 dead^G3498 and^G2532 calleth^G2564 be^G5607 not^G3361 though^G5613 were^G5607 See also: 1 Corinthians 1:28 Genesis 17:4-5 John 5:21 Romans 8:29-30 John 6:63

18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. Who^G3739 against^G3844 hope^G1680 believed^G4100 in^G1909 hope^G1680 that^G1519 he^G846 become^G1096 father^G3962 many^G4183 nations^G1484 according^G2596 spoken^G2046 So^G3779 shall^G2071 thy^G4675 seed^G4690 be^G2071 See also: Romans 8:24 Genesis 15:5-6 Romans 5:5 Acts 27:25 Proverbs 13:12

19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: And^G2532 not^G3361 weak^G770 faith^G4102 considered^G2657 not^G3756 own^G1438 body^G4983 now^G2235 dead^G3499 was^G5225 about^G4225 old^G1541 yet^G2532 deadness^G3500 Sara's^G4564 womb^G3388 See also: Hebrews 11:11-19 Genesis 17:17 Romans 4:20-21 Genesis 18:11-14 Matthew 6:30

20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; staggered^G1252 not^G3756 at^G1519 promise^G1860 God^G2316 unbelief^G570 but^G235 strong^G1743 faith^G4102 giving^G1325 glory^G1391 God^G2316 See also: Luke 1:45 1 Corinthians 16:13 Daniel 10:19 2 Corinthians 12:10 2 Timothy 2:1

21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. And^G2532 persuaded^G4135 that^G3754 what^G3739 promised^G1861 was^G2076 able^G1415 also^G2532 perform^G4160 See also: Luke 1:37 Jeremiah 32:27 Jeremiah 32:17 Luke 1:45 Hebrews 11:19

22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. And^G2532 therefore^G1352 imputed^G3049 him^G846 for^G1519 righteousness^G1343 See also: Romans 4:3 Romans 4:6

23 ¶ Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; Now^G1161 was^G1125 not^G3756 written^G1125 sake^G1223 sake^G846 alone^G3440 that^G3754 imputed^G3049 him^G846 See also: 1 Corinthians 10:11 Romans 15:4 1 Corinthians 10:6 2 Timothy 3:16-17 1 Corinthians 9:9-10

24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; But^G235 for^G1223 us^G2248 also^G2532 whom^G3739 be^G3195 imputed^G3049 believe^G4100 on^G1909 up^G1453 Jesus^G2424 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 from^G1537 dead^G3498 See also: Acts 2:24 1 Peter 1:21 Acts 13:30 Romans 10:9-10 Mark 16:16

25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. Who^G3739 delivered^G3860 for^G1223 our^G2257 offences^G3900 and^G2532 again^G1453 for^G1223 our^G2257 justification^G1347 See also: 1 John 4:9-10 Isaiah 53:5-6 2 Corinthians 5:21 Galatians 1:4 Ephesians 5:2
