Romans 4:16

Young's Literal Translation (1862/1898)

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,

    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?

    10how then was it reckoned? he being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision;

    11and 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,

    12and 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.

    15Brethren, as a man I say `it', even of man a confirmed covenant no one doth make void or doth add to,
