Romans 4:1–12

What shall we say then that Abraham ^aour father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? ²For if Abraham were ^bjustified by works, he hath ^cwhereof to glory; ^dbut not before God. ³For what saith the scripture? ^eAbraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. ⁴Now ^fto him that worketh is the reward not ^greckoned of grace, but of debt. ⁵But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, ^hhis faith is ^gcounted for righteousness. ⁶Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God ^gimputeth righteousness ⁱwithout works, ⁷saying, ^jBlessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. ⁸Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. ⁹Cometh this blessedness then upon ^kthe circumcision ^lonly, or upon ^kthe uncircumcision also? for ^ewe say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. ¹⁰How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. ¹¹And he received ^mthe sign of circumcision, ⁿa seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that ^ohe might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also: ¹²and the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
