Romans 4:11-25

Romans 4:11-25

[11] And  he received  the sign  of circumcision,  a seal  of the righteousness  of the faith  which  he had yet being  uncircumcised:  that  he  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  father  Abraham,  which he had being  yet uncircumcised.  [13] For  the promise,  the  heir  of the world,  was not  to Abraham,  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  worketh  wrath:  for  where  no  law  there is no  transgression.  [16] Therefore  it is of  faith,  that  it might be by  grace;  to the end  the promise  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  the father  all,  [17] (As  it is written,  I have made  a father  of many  nations,)  before  him whom  he believed,  even God,  who quickeneth  the dead,  and  calleth  not  as though  [18] Who  against  hope  believed  in  hope,  that  he  might become  the father  of many  nations,  according  to that which was spoken,  So  seed  [19] And  being not  weak  in faith,  he considered  his own  body  now  dead,  when he was  about  an hundred years old,  neither yet  the deadness  of Sara's  womb:  [20] He staggered  not  at  the promise  of God  through unbelief;  but  was strong  in faith,  giving  glory  to God;  [21] And  being fully persuaded  that,  what  he had promised,  able  also  to perform.  [22] And  therefore  it was imputed  to him  for  righteousness.  [23] Now  not  written  for his sake  alone,  that  it was imputed  to him;  [24] But  for  also,  to whom  it shall be  imputed,  if we believe  on  him that raised up  Jesus  Lord  from  the dead;  [25] Who  was delivered  for  offences,  and  was raised again  for  justification.
