emtv - Romans:4:3-25

emtv@Romans:4:3 @ For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."

emtv@Romans:4:4 @ Now to him who works, his wage is not reckoned as a gift, but as his due.

emtv@Romans:4:5 @ But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness,

emtv@Romans:4:6 @ just as David also speaks of the blessing of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

emtv@Romans:4:7 @ "Blessed [are] [they] whose lawless deeds have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered;

emtv@Romans:4:8 @ Blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall by no means impute sin."

emtv@Romans:4:9 @ Does this blessing then come upon the circumcision, or also upon the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness.

emtv@Romans:4:10 @ How then was it credited? While he was circumcised, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

emtv@Romans:4:11 @ And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which [he had while ]in uncircumcision, so that he should be the father of all those that believe, although uncircumcised, so that righteousness should also be imputed to them,

emtv@Romans:4:12 @ and the father of circumcision to those not only of circumcision, but also to those following in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham[ had while] in uncircumcision.

emtv@Romans:4:13 @ For the promise that he should be heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through [the] law, but through [the] righteousness of faith.

emtv@Romans:4:14 @ For if those who are of [the] law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise has been nullified,

emtv@Romans:4:15 @ because the law produces wrath; for where there is no law neither is there transgression.

emtv@Romans:4:16 @ Therefore it is of faith that it may be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those[ ]of the law, but also to those of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,

emtv@Romans:4:17 @ (just as it is written, "I have appointed you a father of many nations") before God, whom he believed, the [One] who gives life to the dead and calls those things which are not as though they were;

emtv@Romans:4:18 @ who, contrary to hope, on hope believed, so that he should become a father of many nations, according to what was spoken, "So shall your descendants be."

emtv@Romans:4:19 @ And not weakening in faith, he did not consider his own body, already having been worn out (being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb,

emtv@Romans:4:20 @ he did not waver at the promise of God in unbelief, but was empowered by faith, giving glory to God,

emtv@Romans:4:21 @ and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to do.

emtv@Romans:4:22 @ And therefore "it was credited to him as righteousness."

emtv@Romans:4:23 @ Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was credited to him,

emtv@Romans:4:24 @ but for us also, to whom it was going to be credited, those believing on Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,

emtv@Romans:4:25 @ who was delivered up for our transgressions, and was raised for our justification.
