CHAP. IV.

1 Abrahams faith was imputed to him for righteousnesse, 10 before hee was circumcised. 13 By faith only he and his seed receiued the promise. 16 Abraham is the father of all that beleeue. 24 Our faith also shall be imputed to vs for righteousnes.

¹What shall we say then, that Abraham our father, as perteining to the flesh, hath found?

²For if Abraham were iustified by workes, hee hath whereof to glory, but not before God.

³For what saith the Scripture? Abraham beleeued God, and it was counted vnto him for righteousnes.

⁴Now to him that worketh, is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

⁵But to him that worketh not, but beleeueth on him that iustifieth the vngodly; his faith is counted for righteousnesse.

⁶Euen as Dauid also describeth the blessednesse of the man, vnto whom God imputeth righteousnesse without works:

⁷Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiuen, and whose sinnes are couered.

⁸Blessed is the man to whome the Lord will not impute sinne.

⁹Commeth this blessednes then vpon the circumcision onely, or vpon the vncircumcision also? for wee say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousnesse.

¹⁰How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in vncircumcision? not in circumcision, but in vncircumcision.

¹¹And hee receiued the signe of circumcision, a seale of the righteousnesse of the faith, which hee had yet being vncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that beleeue, though they be not circumcised; that righteousnesse might be imputed vnto them also:

¹²And the father of circumcision, to them who are not of the circumcision onely, but also walke in the steppes of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet vncircumcised.
