Romans Chapter 4

            4^:1What then will-we-say (that) Abraham, the forefather of-me, has-found according-to (the) flesh? ² For if Abraham was-justified by [the] works, he-has (a)-basis-for-boasting, but not toward God. ³ For what does┘the scripture└say? “And Abraham trusted-in [the] God, and it-was-regarded to-him [as] righteousness.” ⁴ But for-the-one working, the reward/result is┘not└regarded according-to grace, but according-to debt. ⁵ But for-the-one not working, but trusting in the-One justifying the ungodly, the trust/faith of-him is-regarded as righteousness. ⁶ Just-as David also says-of the blessedness of-the person to-whom [the] God regards righteousness apart-from works,

⁷ “Blessed (are the ones) whose [the] unlawful-deeds of-whom were-forgiven,

                                    and whose [the] sins of-whom were-covered.

⁸ Blessed (is the) man sin of-whom (the) Lord certainly does┘not└regard

(against him).”

⁹ So (is) this [the] blessedness on the circumcision or on the uncircumcision too? For we-say,

“[The] trust/faith was-regarded to-[the] Abraham as righteousness”?

¹⁰ How then was-it-regarded (to him)? Being in circumcision or in uncircumcision? It was not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. ¹¹ And he-received the sign of-circumcision (as a) seal of-[the] righteousness of-[the] faith/trust in [the] uncircumcision, unto [the] his being (the) father of-all the-ones trusting through uncircumcision, unto [the]^ms righteousness [the] being regarded to-them, ¹² and (the) father of-circumcision to-the-ones not of circumcision only but also to-the-ones walking in the footsteps of faith/trust in-the state-of uncircumcision of-the father of-us, Abraham.

            ¹³ For not through law (was) the promise to-[the] Abraham or to-the seed of-him, (that) he was the heir of-(the)-world, but through (the) righteousness of-trust/faith. ¹⁴ For if the-ones of law (are) heirs, trust/faith has-been-made void and [the] promise has-been-nullified. ¹⁵ For the law brings-about wrath, but where (there) is not law neither (is there) sin. ¹⁶ On-account-of this (it is) of trust/faith, in-order-that (it may be) according-to grace, unto the promise’s being sure to-all the seed, not only for-the-one of the Law, but also to-the-one of (the) trust/faith of-Abraham, who is (the) father of-all of us, ¹⁷ just-as it-has-been-written [that], “I-have-established you (as the) father of-many nations,” before whom he-believed/trusted, God, the-One making┘the dead└alive and calling the-things not being as being, ¹⁸ who, in hope against hope, trusted unto [the] his becoming ‘(the) father of-many nations’ according-to the thing spoken, “So the seed of-you will-be.” ¹⁹ And not being-weak in-respect-to-[the] trust/faith he-considered [the] body of-himself [already]^ms as-good-as having-been-dead, being about (a) hundred-years-old, and the deadness of-the womb of-Sarah. ²⁰ and unto the promise of-[the] God he-did┘not└hesitate in-[the] distrust/disbelief, but grew-strong in-[the] trust/faith, having-given/giving glory to-[the] God ²¹ and having-been-freely-assured that what he-had-promised he-was able also to-do. ²² Wherefore [also]^ms, “It-was regarded to-him as righteousness.” ²³ Now it-was┘not└written on-account-of him only that it-was-regarded to-him, ²⁴ but also on-account-of us, to-whom it-will-be-regarded, to-the-ones believing/trusting in the-One having-raised Jesus the Lord of-us from (the) dead, ²⁵ who was-delivered-up on-account-of the wrong-doing of-us and was-raised on-account-of the justification of-us.
