Romans 4 YLT — Romans 4

1 What, then, shall we say Abraham our father, to have found, according to flesh? YLT — Romans 4:1

2 for if Abraham by works was declared righteous, he hath to boast — but not before god; YLT — Romans 4:2

3 for what doth the writing say? ‘And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him — to righteousness;’ YLT — Romans 4:3

4 and to him who is working, the reward is not reckoned of grace, but of debt; YLT — Romans 4:4

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: YLT — Romans 4:5

6 even as David also doth speak of the happiness of the man to whom God doth reckon righteousness apart from works: YLT — Romans 4:6

7 ’Happy they whose lawless acts were forgiven, and whose sins were covered; YLT — Romans 4:7

8 happy the man to whom the Lord may not reckon sin.’ YLT — Romans 4:8

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? YLT — Romans 4:9

10 how then was it reckoned? he being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision; YLT — Romans 4:10

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, YLT — Romans 4:11

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. YLT — Romans 4:12

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; YLT — Romans 4:13

14 for if they who are of law [are] heirs, the faith hath been made void, and the promise hath been made useless; YLT — Romans 4:14

15 for the law doth work wrath; for where law is not, neither [is] transgression. YLT — Romans 4:15

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, YLT — Romans 4:16

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. YLT — Romans 4:17

18 Who, against hope in hope did believe, for his becoming father of many nations according to that spoken: ‘So shall thy seed be;’ YLT — Romans 4:18

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, YLT — Romans 4:19

20 and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God, YLT — Romans 4:20

21 and having been fully persuaded that what He hath promised He is able also to do: YLT — Romans 4:21

22 wherefore also it was reckoned to him to righteousness. YLT — Romans 4:22

23 And it was not written on his account alone, that it was reckoned to him, YLT — Romans 4:23

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, YLT — Romans 4:24

25 who was delivered up because of our offences, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous. YLT — Romans 4:25
