³ for what doth the writing say? `And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness;'

²³ and fulfilled was the Writing that is saying, `And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness;' and, `Friend of God' he was called.

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?

⁶ And he hath believed in Jehovah, and He reckoneth it to him -- righteousness.

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:

⁶ according as Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness;

⁷ know ye, then, that those of faith -- these are sons of Abraham,

⁸ and the Writing having foreseen that by faith God doth declare righteous the nations did proclaim before the good news to Abraham --

² God did not cast away His people whom He knew before; have ye not known -- in Elijah -- what the Writing saith? how he doth plead with God concerning Israel, saying,

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,

³¹ And it is reckoned to him to righteousness, To all generations -- unto the age.

¹¹ for the Writing saith, `Every one who is believing on him shall not be ashamed,'

¹⁷ for the Writing saith to Pharaoh -- `For this very thing I did raise thee up, that I might shew in thee My power, and that My name might be declared in all the land;'

²² wherefore also it was reckoned to him to righteousness.

²³ And it was not written on his account alone, that it was reckoned to him,

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,

²⁵ who was delivered up because of our offences, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous.

²⁰ To the law and to the testimony! If not, let them say after this manner, `That there is no dawn to it.'
