1 What shall we say then that Avraham [Exalted Father] our father, as pertaining to the flesh, has found?

2 For if Avraham [Exalted Father] were justified by works, he has [whereof] to glory; but not before God-The Father.

3 For what says the scripture? Avraham [Exalted Father] believed God-The Father, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

4 Now to him that works is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

5 But to him that works not, but believes on him that justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

6 Even as David [Beloved] also describes the blessedness of the man, unto whom God-The Father imputes righteousness without works,

7 [Saying], Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [are] they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

8 Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [is] the man to whom the Lord - Kurios will not impiute (charge to one’s account; reckon) sin.

9 [Cometh] this blessedness then upon the circumcision [only], or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Avraham [Exalted Father] for righteousness.

10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

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:

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 Avraham [Exalted Father], which [he had] being [yet] uncircumcised.

13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, [was] not to Avraham [Exalted Father], or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

14 For if they which are of the law [be] heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:

15 Because the law works wrath: for where no law is, [there is] no transgression.

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 Avraham [Exalted Father]; who is the father of us all,

17 (As it is written, I have made youi a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, [even] God-The Father, who quickens the dead, and calls those things which be not as though they were.

18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall youri seed be.

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 Sarah [princess]’s womb:

20 He staggered not at the promise of God-The Father through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God-The Father;

21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to finish.

22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;

24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Yeshua [God is Salvation] our Lord - Kurios from the dead;

25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
