Romans 4:16-25
Therefore
it is of faith, that it might be by grace;
to the end the promise might
be sure to all the seed;
not to that only which is of the law, but to
that also which is of
the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
(As
it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,)
before him
whom he believed, EVEN GOD, who quickeneth the dead, and
CALLETH THOSE THINGS WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE
Who
against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many
nations,
ACCORDING TO THAT WHICH WAS SPOKEN
SO SHALL THY SEED BE.
And
being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead,
when
he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's
womb:
HE STAGGERED NOT
AT THE PROMISE OF GOD through unbelief; but was STRONG IN FAITH,
GIVING GLORY TO GOD;
And being
FULLY PERSUADED
that, what he had promised, he was
ABLE ALSO TO PERFORM.
Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed,
IF WE BELIEVE
on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
Imputed- To attribute righteousness to a person vicariously, ascribe as derived from another.
