    16For 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.

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

    18Who 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."

    19Without 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.

    20Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn't waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,

    21and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.

    22Therefore it also was "reckoned to him for righteousness."

    1What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?

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

    3For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."

    4Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.

    5But to him who doesn't work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.

    6Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,

    7"Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

    8Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin."

    9Is this blessing then pronounced on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

    10How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

    11He 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 might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.

    12He is 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.

    13For the promise to Abraham and to his seed that he should be heir of the world wasn't through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

    21Wasn't Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

    22You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected;

    23and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness;" and he was called the friend of God.

    24You see then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by faith.

    27Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.

    28We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
