Romans 4:6-24

⁶As David saith the blessedness of a man, whom God accepteth, he giveth to him rightwiseness without works of the law,

⁷Blessed be they, whose wicked-nesses be forgiven, and whose sins be hid or be covered.

⁸Blessed is that man, to whom God areckoned not sin.

⁹Then whether dwelleth this blessedness only in circumcision, or also in prepuce? For we say, that the faith was areckoned to Abraham to rightwiseness.

¹⁰How then was it areckoned? in circumcision, or in prepuce? Not in circumcision, but in prepuce.

¹¹And he took a sign of circumcision, a token or a marking of rightwiseness of the faith which is in prepuce, that he be father of all men believing by prepuce, that it be areckoned also to them to rightwise-ness;

¹²and that he be father of circumcision, not only to them that be of circumcision, but also to them that pursue the steps of the faith, which faith is in prepuce of our father Abraham, or but and to them that pursue the steps of the faith of our father Abraham, that is in prepuce.

¹³For not by the law is the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be the heir of the world, but by the rightwiseness of faith.

¹⁴For if they that be of the law, be heirs, faith is destroyed, promise is done away.

¹⁵For the law worketh wrath; for where is no law, there is no trespass, neither is trespassing or prevarication.

¹⁶Therefore rightwiseness is of faith, that by grace promise be stable or be steadfast to each seed, not to that seed only that is of the law, but to that that is of the faith of Abraham, which is father of us all.

¹⁷As it is written, For I have set thee father of many folks, before God to whom thou hast believed. The which God quickeneth dead men or The which quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things that be not, as those that be.

¹⁸The Which Abraham against hope believed into hope, that he should be made father of many folks, as it was said to him, Thus shall thy seed be, as the stars of heaven, and as the gravel or sand that is in the brink of the sea.

¹⁹And he was not made unsteadfast in the belief, neither he beheld his body then nigh dead, when he was almost of an hundred years, nor the womb of Sarah nigh dead.

²⁰Also in the promise of God he doubted not with untrust; but he was comforted in belief, giving glory to God,

²¹witting most fully that whatever things God hath promised, he is mighty also to do.

²²Therefore it was areckoned to him to rightwiseness.

²³And it is not written only for him, that it was areckoned to him to rightwiseness,

²⁴but also for us, to whom it shall be areckoned, that believe in him that raised our Lord Jesus Christ from death.
