Romans 4:13-24

¹³For the promes that he shuld be the heyre of the worlde was not geven to Abraham or to his seed thorow the lawe: but thorow the rightewesnes which cometh of fayth.

¹⁴For yf they which are of the lawe be heyres then is fayth but vayne and the promes of none effecte.

¹⁵Because the lawe causeth wrathe. For where no lawe is there is no trasgression.

¹⁶Therfore by fayth is the inheritaunce geven that it myght come of faveour: and the promes myght be sure to all the seed. Not to them only which are of the lawe: but also to them which are of the fayth of Abraham which is the father of vs all.

¹⁷As it is wrytten: I have made the a father to many nacions even before god whom thou hast beleved which quyckeneth the deed and called those thinges which be not as though they were.

¹⁸Which Abraham contrary to hope beleved in hope that he shuld be the father of many nacions accordynge to that which was spoken: So shall thy seed be.

¹⁹And he faynted not in the fayth nor yet consydered hys awne body which was now deed even when he was almost an hondred yeare olde: nether yet that Sara was past chyldeberinge.

²⁰He stackered not at the promes of God thorow vnbelefe: but was made stronge in the fayth and gave honour to God

²¹full certifyed that what he had promised that he was able to make good.

²²And therfore was it reckened to him for rightewesnes.

²³It is not written for him only that it was reckened to him for rightewesnes:

²⁴but also for vs to whom it shalbe counted for rightewesnes so we beleve on him that raysed vp Iesus oure Lorde from deeth.
