    16Therefore, the promise comes by faith, that it may be according to grace, so that it might be guaranteed to all the offspring—not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who share the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.

    17As it is written: 'I have made you a father of many nations.' He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were.

    18Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, 'So shall your offspring be.'

    19And without weakening in faith, he did not consider his own body, which was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—or the deadness of Sarah’s womb.

    20He did not waver in unbelief concerning the promise of God, but he was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,

    21being fully convinced that God was able to do what He had promised.

    22Therefore, it was credited to him as righteousness.

    1What then shall we say about Abraham, our ancestor according to the flesh?

    2For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about—but not before God.

    3What does the Scripture say? 'Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.'

    4Now to the one who works, wages are not counted as a gift but as an obligation.

    5But to the one who does not work but believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness.

    6Just as David also speaks of the blessedness of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

    7Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven and whose sins are covered.

    8Blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count sin.

    9Is this blessedness then only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness.

    10How then was it credited? Was it while he was circumcised or uncircumcised? It was not while he was circumcised, but while he was uncircumcised.

    11And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised, so that righteousness might also be credited to them,

    12and to be the father of the circumcised who are not only circumcised but also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

    13For the promise to Abraham or his descendants that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith.

    28For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
