4 What, then, shall we say that Abraham, our Father, has found according to the flesh?
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he has grounds to boast. But not with God.
3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.”
4 Now, to one who works, the wages are not counted by grace, but by debt.
5 But to one who does not work, but believes in Him Who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness;
6 even as David declares the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness without works, saying,
7 “Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 “Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute sin.”
9 Did, then, this blessedness come upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? For we say that faith was counted to Abraham for righteousness.
10 How, then, was it counted - when he was circumcised or uncircumcised? Not when he was circumcised, but when he was uncircumcised.
11 Afterward, he received the sign of circumcision, as the seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had when he was uncircumcised. So that he should be the Father of all those who believe (not being circumcised), that righteousness might be counted to them also;
12 and that he be the Father of circumcision, not only to those who are of the circumcision, but also to those who walk in the steps of the faith our Father Abraham had when he was uncircumcised.
13 For the promise that he should be the heir of the world was not given to Abraham, or to his seed, through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 For if those who are of the Law are heirs, then faith is made void, and the promise is made to no effect.
15 For the Law causes wrath. For where there is no Law, there is no transgression.
16 Therefore, it is by faith, so that it might come by grace (and the promise might be a surety) to all the seed; not only to that which is of the Law, but also to that which 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 nations.”) before God, Whom he believed, Who quickens the dead, and calls those things which are not as though they were;
18 which Abraham, hoping against all hope, believed. So that he should be the Father of many nations, according to that which was spoken to him, “So shall your seed be.”
19 And he, not being weak in the faith, did not consider his own body, which was now dead (being almost a hundred years old), nor the deadness of Sarah’s womb.
20 Nor did he, through unbelief, doubt the promise of God. But he was strengthened in the faith. And gave glory to God,
21 being fully assured that He Who had promised, was also able to do it.
22 And therefore, it was counted to him as righteousness.
23 Now, it is not only written for him that it was counted to him as righteousness,
24 but it shall also be reckoned as righteousness for us who believe in Him Who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,
25 Who was delivered for our sins. And is risen again for our justification.
4 What, then, shall we say Abraham our father, to have found, according to flesh? 2 for if Abraham by works was declared righteous, he hath to boast -- but not before god; 3 for what doth the writing say? `And Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness;' 4 and to him who...

4 So what shall we say about Abraham? He is the father of our family on earth. 2 If Abraham was put right with God, because of what he did, he has something to be proud of. But he has nothing to be proud of when he stands before God. 3 What do the holy writings say? It says, `Abraham believed God. A...

4 In light of all of this, what should we say about our ancestor Abraham? 2 If Abraham was made right by performing certain works, then he would surely have something to brag about. Right?

God’s Covenant with Abraham4 What shall we say, then?

The Faith of Abraham4 Abraham was, humanly speaking, the founder of our Jewish nation.
