BLB(i)
3 For what does the Scripture say? “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.”
4 Now to the one working, the reward is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt.
5 However, to the one not working, but believing on the One justifying the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness,
6 just as David also declares the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
7 “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered;
8 blessed is the man against whom the Lord will never reckon sin.”
9 Is this blessing then on the circumcision, or also on the uncircumcision? For we are saying faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness.
10 How then was it credited? Being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith that he had while in the uncircumcision, for him to be father of all those believing while in uncircumcision, for the righteousness to be credited also to them,
12 and the father of circumcision to those not only of circumcision, but also to those walking in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham during uncircumcision.
13 For the promise was to Abraham or his descendants that he should be heir of the world, not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.
