| Romans 4:1 | What, then, shall we say Abraham our father, to have found, according to flesh? | What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, hath found according to the flesh? | What then shall we say that Abraham, our earthly forefather, has gained? |
| Romans 4:2 | for if Abraham by works was declared righteous, he hath to boast but not before god; | For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward 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 doth the writing say? `And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him to righteousness;` | For what saith the scripture? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. | For what says the Scripture? "And Abraham believed God, and this was placed to his credit as righteousness." |
| Romans 4:4 | and to him who is working, the reward is not reckoned of grace, but of debt; | Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt. | But in the case of a man who works, pay is not reckoned a favour but a debt; |
| Romans 4:5 | and to him who is not working, and is believing upon Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned to righteousness: | But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for 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 doth speak of the happiness of the man to whom God doth reckon righteousness apart from works: | Even as David also pronounceth blessing upon the man, unto whom God reckoneth 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 | `Happy they whose lawless acts were forgiven, and whose sins were covered; | [saying], Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, And whose sins are covered. | "Blessed," he says, "are those whose iniquities have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered over. |
| Romans 4:8 | happy the man to whom the Lord may not reckon sin.` | Blessed is the man to whom, the Lord will not reckon sin. | Blessed is the man of whose sin the Lord will not take account." |
| Romans 4:9 | [Is] this happiness, then, upon the circumcision, or also upon the uncircumcision for we say that the faith was reckoned to Abraham to righteousness? | Is this blessing then pronounced upon the circumcision, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say, To Abraham his faith was reckoned for 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 reckoned? he being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision; | How then was it reckoned? when he was 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 | 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, | and 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 them that believe, though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned unto 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 | 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 father of circumcision to them 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 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 law [is] the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith; | 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. | 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 they who are of law [are] heirs, the faith hath been made void, and the promise hath been made useless; | For if they that are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of none effect: | 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 doth work wrath; for where law is not, neither [is] transgression. | for the law worketh wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression. | For the Law inflicts punishment; but where no Law exists, there can be no violation of Law. |
| Romans 4:16 | 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, | 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 | All depends on faith, and for this reason that acceptance with God might be an act of pure grace, |
| Romans 4:17 | 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. | (as it is written, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were. | 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, against hope in hope did believe, for his becoming father of many nations according to that spoken: `So shall thy seed be;` | 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 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 | 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 being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead (he 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 | and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God, | yet, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving 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 having been fully persuaded that what He hath promised He is able also to do: | and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform. | and being absolutely certain that whatever promise He is bound by He is able also to make good. |
| Romans 4:22 | wherefore also it was reckoned to him to righteousness. | Wherefore also it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. | For this reason also his faith was placed to his credit as righteousness. |
| Romans 4:23 | And it was not written on his account alone, that it was reckoned to him, | Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned unto him; | Nor was the fact of its being placed to his credit put on record for his sake only; |
| Romans 4:24 | 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, | but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from 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 because of our offences, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous. | who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification. | who was surrendered to death because of the offences we had committed, and was raised to life because of the acquittal secured for us. |
