Romans 4:16-25

Lamsa(i) 16 Therefore it is by faith that we will be justified by grace; so that the promise might be sure to all his seed; not only to him who is of the law, but also to him who is of the faith of Abraham who is the father of us all, 17 As it is written, I have made you a father of many peoples, in the presence of the God in whom you have believed, who quickens the dead, and who invites those who are not yet in being, as though they were present. 18 For he who was hopeless trusted in hope, that he might become the father of many peoples, as it is written, So shall your seed be. 19 His faith never weakened even when he examined his old body when he was a hundred years old, and the deadness of SarahÆs womb. 20 He did not doubt the promise of God as one who lacks faith; but his faith gave him strength, and he gave glory to God. 21 He felt assured that what God had promised him, God was able to fulfill. 22 Therefore it was given to him for righteousness. 23 That his faith was given for righteousness, was not written for his sake alone, 24 But for us also, for he will number us also, who believe in him who raised our LORD Jesus Christ from the dead; 25 Who was delivered up for our offences and arose that he might justify us.
