Justification by Faith Evidenced in Old Testament

4What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found?G5101G2046G3767G11G2257G3962G2596G4561G2147 2For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about; but not before God.G1063G1487G11G1344G1537G2041G2192G2745G235G3756G4314G2316 3For what does the Scripture say? "AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS."G1063G5101G3004G1124G1161G11G4100G2316G2532G3049G846G1519G1343 4Now to the one who works, his wage is not reckoned as a favor, but as what is due.G1161G2038G3049G3408G3756G3049G2596G5485G235G2596G3783 5But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness,G1161G2038G3361G1161G4100G1909G1344G765G846G4102G3049G1519G1343 6just as David also speaks of the blessing upon the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works:G2509G1138G2532G3004G3108G444G3739G2316G3049G1343G5565G2041 7"BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE LAWLESS DEEDS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN, AND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED.G3107G3739G458G863G2532G3739G266G1943 8"BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT."G3107G435G3739G2962G3049G3364G3049G266 9Is this blessing then upon the circumcised, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say, "FAITH WAS RECKONED TO ABRAHAM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS."G3778G3108G3767G1909G4061G2228G1909G203G2532G1063G3004G3754G4102G3049G11G1519G1343 10How then was it reckoned? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised;G4459G3049G3767G3049G5607G1722G4061G2228G1722G203G3756G1722G4061G235G1722G203 11and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised, that righteousness might be reckoned to them,G2532G2983G4592G4061G4973G1343G4102G3588G1722G203G1519G846G1511G3962G3956G4100G1223G203G1519G1343G3049G846G2532 12and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also follow in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham which he had while uncircumcised.G2532G3962G4061G3756G1537G4061G3440G235G2532G4748G2487G4102G2257G3962G11G1722G203 13For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.G1063G1860G1511G846G2818G2889G3756G11G2228G846G4690G1223G3551G235G1223G1343G4102 14For if those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise is nullified;G1063G1487G1537G3551G2818G4102G2758G2532G1860G2673 15for the Law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, neither is there violation.G1063G3551G2716G3709G1063G3757G3756G3551G2076G3761G3847 16For this reason [it is] by faith, that [it might be] in accordance with grace, in order that the promise may be certain to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,G1223G5124G1537G4102G2443G2596G5485G1519G1860G1511G949G3956G4690G3756G3440G1537G3551G235G2532G1537G4102G11G3739G2076G3962G2257G3956 17(as it is written, "A FATHER OF MANY NATIONS HAVE I MADE YOU") in the sight of Him whom he believed, [even] God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist.G2531G1125G3754G5087G4571G3962G4183G1484G2713G3739G4100G2316G2227G3498G2532G2564G5607G3361G5613G5607 18In hope against hope he believed, in order that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, "SO SHALL YOUR DESCENDANTS BE."G3739G3844G1680G4100G1909G1680G1519G846G1096G3962G4183G1484G2596G2046G3779G2071G4675G4690G2071 19And without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now as good as dead since he was about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb;G2532G3361G770G4102G2657G3756G1438G4983G2235G3499G5225G4225G1541G2532G3500G4564G3388 20yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief, but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God,G1161G1252G3756G1519G1860G2316G570G235G1743G4102G1325G1391G2316 21and being fully assured that what He had promised, He was able also to perform.G2532G4135G3754G3739G1861G2076G1415G2532G4160 22Therefore also IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.G2532G1352G3049G846G1519G1343 23Now not for his sake only was it written, that it was reckoned to him,G1161G1125G3756G1125G1223G846G3440G3754G3049G846 24but for our sake also, to whom it will be reckoned, as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,G235G1223G2248G2532G3739G3195G3049G4100G1909G1453G2424G2257G2962G1537G3498 25[He] who was delivered up because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification.G3739G3860G1223G2257G3900G2532G1453G1223G2257G1347
