Chapter 4.

00:01.940 --> 00:05.200
What shall we say then that Abraham our
father, as pertaining to the flesh,

00:05.360 --> 00:05.720
hath found?

00:06.300 --> 00:11.660
For if Abraham were justified by works,
he hath whereof to glory, but not before

00:11.660 --> 00:12.020
God.

00:12.660 --> 00:18.380
For what saith the scripture, Abraham
believed God, and it was counted unto him

00:18.380 --> 00:19.080
for righteousness?

00:19.860 --> 00:24.820
Now to him that worketh is the reward not
reckoned of grace, but of debt.

00:24.820 --> 00:30.720
But to him that worketh not, but believeth
on him that justifieth the ungodly,

00:31.000 --> 00:33.160
his faith is counted for righteousness.

00:33.840 --> 00:38.500
Even as David also describeth the
blessedness of the man, unto whom God

00:38.500 --> 00:44.220
imputeth righteousness without works,
saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities

00:44.220 --> 00:47.040
are forgiven, and whose sins are covenant.

00:47.740 --> 00:51.400
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will
not impute sin.

00:52.040 --> 00:56.800
Cometh this blessedness then upon the
circumcision only, or upon the

00:56.800 --> 00:58.020
uncircumcision also?

00:58.660 --> 01:02.200
For we say that faith was reckoned to
Abraham for righteousness.

01:02.860 --> 01:04.140
How was it then reckoned?

01:04.700 --> 01:07.940
When he was in circumcision, or in
uncircumcision?

01:08.760 --> 01:12.080
Not in circumcision, but in
uncircumcision.

01:12.600 --> 01:17.280
And he received the sign of circumcision,
a seal of the righteousness of the faith

01:17.280 --> 01:22.660
which he had yet being uncircumcised,
that he might be the father of all them

01:22.660 --> 01:26.040
that believe, though they be not
circumcised.

01:26.440 --> 01:31.680
That righteousness might be imputed unto
them also, and the father of circumcision

01:31.680 --> 01:36.620
to them who are not of the circumcision
only, but who also walk in the steps of

01:36.620 --> 01:41.560
that faith of our father Abraham,
which he had being yet uncircumcised.

01:42.060 --> 01:46.260
For the promise that he should be the heir
of the world was not to Abraham,

01:46.260 --> 01:51.060
or to his seed, through the law,
but through the righteousness of faith.

01:51.620 --> 01:57.860
For if they which are of the law be heirs,
faith is made void, and the promise made

01:57.860 --> 02:03.720
of none effect, because the law worketh
wrath, for where no law is, there is no

02:03.720 --> 02:04.260
transgression.

02:04.840 --> 02:10.700
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be
by grace, to the end the promise might be

02:10.700 --> 02:16.080
sure to all the seed, not to that only
which is of the law, but to that also

02:16.080 --> 02:20.180
which is of the faith of Abraham,
who is the father of us all.

02:20.660 --> 02:25.520
As it is written, I have made thee a
father of many nations, before him whom he

02:25.520 --> 02:30.960
believed, even God, who quickeneth the
dead, and calleth those things which be

02:30.960 --> 02:36.500
not as though they were, who against hope
believed in hope, that he might become the

02:36.500 --> 02:37.660
father of many nations.

02:38.300 --> 02:42.180
According to that which was spoken,
so shall thy seed be.

02:42.820 --> 02:47.360
And being not weak in faith, he considered
not his own body now dead, when he was

02:47.360 --> 02:50.960
about an hundred years old, neither yet
the deadness of Sarah's womb.

02:51.980 --> 02:56.860
He staggered not at the promise of God
through unbelief, but was strong in faith,

02:57.120 --> 03:01.920
giving glory to God, and being fully
persuaded that what he had promised,

03:02.260 --> 03:04.100
he was able also to perform.

03:04.680 --> 03:08.200
And therefore it was imputed to him for
righteousness.

03:09.060 --> 03:14.740
Now it was not written for his sake alone,
that it was imputed to him, but for us

03:14.740 --> 03:20.140
also, to whom it shall be imputed,
if we believe on him that raised up Jesus

03:20.140 --> 03:26.280
our Lord from the dead, who was delivered
for our offenses, and was raised again for

03:26.280 --> 03:26.960
our justification.
