| Romans 4:1 | What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh? | What, then, shall we say Abraham our father, to have found, according to flesh? | What then shall we say that Abraham, our earthly forefather, has gained? |
| Romans 4:2 | For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God. | for if Abraham by works was declared righteous, he hath to boast but not before god; | For if he was held to be righteous on the ground of his actions, he has something to boast of; but not in the presence of God. |
| Romans 4:3 | For what does the scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." | for what doth the writing say? `And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him to righteousness;` | For what says the Scripture? "And Abraham believed God, and this was placed to his credit as righteousness." |
| Romans 4:4 | Now to him who works, the reward is not accounted as of grace, but as of debt. | and to him who is working, the reward is not reckoned of grace, but of debt; | But in the case of a man who works, pay is not reckoned a favour but a debt; |
| Romans 4:5 | But to him who doesn't work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness. | and to him who is not working, and is believing upon Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned to righteousness: | whereas in the case of a man who pleads no actions of his own, but simply believes in Him who declares the ungodly free from guilt, his faith is placed to his credit as righteousness. |
| Romans 4:6 | Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works, | even as David also doth speak of the happiness of the man to whom God doth reckon righteousness apart from works: | In this way David also tells of the blessedness of the man to whose credit God places righteousness, apart from his actions. |
| Romans 4:7 | "Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, Whose sins are covered. | `Happy they whose lawless acts were forgiven, and whose sins were covered; | "Blessed," he says, "are those whose iniquities have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered over. |
| Romans 4:8 | Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not charge with sin." | happy the man to whom the Lord may not reckon sin.` | Blessed is the man of whose sin the Lord will not take account." |
| Romans 4:9 | Is this blessing then pronounced on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness. | [Is] this happiness, then, upon the circumcision, or also upon the uncircumcision for we say that the faith was reckoned to Abraham to righteousness? | This declaration of blessedness, then, does it come simply to the circumcised, or to the uncircumcised as well? For Abraham's faith so we affirm was placed to his credit as righteousness. |
| Romans 4:10 | How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. | how then was it reckoned? he being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision; | What then were the circumstances under which this took place? Was it after he had been circumcised, or before? |
| Romans 4:11 | He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them. | and a sign he did receive of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them, | Before, not after. And he received circumcision as a sign, a mark attesting the reality of the faith-righteousness which was his while still uncircumcised, that he might be the forefather of all those who believe even though they are uncircumcised in order that this righteousness might be placed to their credit; |
| Romans 4:12 | The father of circumcision to those 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. | and father of circumcision to those not of circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of the faith, that [is] in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham. | and the forefather of the circumcised, namely of those who not merely are circumcised, but also walk in the steps of the faith which our forefather Abraham had while he was as yet uncircumcised. |
| Romans 4:13 | For not through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed that he should be heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith. | For not through law [is] the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith; | Again, the promise that he should inherit the world did not come to Abraham or his posterity conditioned by Law, but by faith-righteousness. |
| Romans 4:14 | For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect. | for if they who are of law [are] heirs, the faith hath been made void, and the promise hath been made useless; | For if it is the righteous through Law who are heirs, then faith is useless and the promise counts for nothing. |
| Romans 4:15 | For the law works wrath, for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience. | for the law doth work wrath; for where law is not, neither [is] transgression. | For the Law inflicts punishment; but where no Law exists, there can be no violation of Law. |
| Romans 4:16 | For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, to the end that the promise may 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. | Because of this [it is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which [is] of the law only, but also to that which [is] of the faith of Abraham, | All depends on faith, and for this reason that acceptance with God might be an act of pure grace, |
| Romans 4:17 | As it is written, "I have made you a father of many nations." This is before him whom he believed, God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were. | who is father of us all (according as it hath been written `A father of many nations I have set thee,`) before Him whom he did believe God, who is quickening the dead, and is calling the things that be not as being. | so that the promise should be made sure to all Abraham's true descendants; not merely to those who are righteous through the Law, but to those who are righteous through a faith like that of Abraham. Thus in the sight of God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and makes reference to things that do not exist, as though they did, Abraham is the forefather of all of us. As it is written, "I have appointed you to be the forefather of many nations." |
| Romans 4:18 | Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, "So will your seed be." | Who, against hope in hope did believe, for his becoming father of many nations according to that spoken: `So shall thy seed be;` | Under utterly hopeless circumstances he hopefully believed, so that he might become the forefather of many nations, in agreement with the words "Equally numerous shall your posterity be." |
| Romans 4:19 | Without being weakened in faith, he didn't consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb. | and not having been weak in the faith, he did not consider his own body, already become dead, (being about a hundred years old,) and the deadness of Sarah`s womb, | And, without growing weak in faith, he could contemplate his own vital powers which had now decayed for he was nearly 100 years old and Sarah's barrenness. |
| Romans 4:20 | Yet, looking to the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God, | and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God, | Nor did he in unbelief stagger at God's promise, but became mighty in faith, giving glory to God, |
| Romans 4:21 | and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform. | and having been fully persuaded that what He hath promised He is able also to do: | and being absolutely certain that whatever promise He is bound by He is able also to make good. |
| Romans 4:22 | Therefore also it was "reckoned to him for righteousness." | wherefore also it was reckoned to him to righteousness. | For this reason also his faith was placed to his credit as righteousness. |
| Romans 4:23 | Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone, | And it was not written on his account alone, that it was reckoned to him, | Nor was the fact of its being placed to his credit put on record for his sake only; |
| Romans 4:24 | but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus, our Lord, from the dead, | but also on ours, to whom it is about to be reckoned to us believing on Him who did raise up Jesus our Lord out of the dead, | it was for our sakes too. Faith, before long, will be placed to the credit of us also who are believers in Him who raised Jesus, our Lord, from the dead, |
| Romans 4:25 | who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification. | who was delivered up because of our offences, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous. | who was surrendered to death because of the offences we had committed, and was raised to life because of the acquittal secured for us. |
