New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
8
BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE
Lord
WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT.'
9
Is this blessing then on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say, 'FAITH WAS CREDITED TO ABRAHAM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.'
10
How then was it credited? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised;
11
and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while uncircumcised, so that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised, that righteousness might be credited to them,
12
and 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.
13
For 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.
King James Version
Chapter 4
8
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9
Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
10
How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11
And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
12
And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
13
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 4
8
Blessed is the person
the Lord will never charge with sin.
9
Is this blessing only for the circumcised, then? Or is it also for the uncircumcised? For we say,
Faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness.
10
In what way then was it credited—while he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? It was not while he was circumcised, but uncircumcised.
11
And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while still uncircumcised. This was to make him the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, so that righteousness may be credited to them also.
12
And he became the father of the circumcised, who are not only circumcised but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith our father Abraham had while he was still uncircumcised.
13
For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would inherit the world was not through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.
New Living Translation
Chapter 4
8
Yes, what joy for those
whose record the
Lord
has cleared of sin.'
9
Now, is this blessing only for the Jews, or is it also for uncircumcised Gentiles? Well, we have been saying that Abraham was counted as righteous by God because of his faith.
10
But how did this happen? Was he counted as righteous only after he was circumcised, or was it before he was circumcised? Clearly, God accepted Abraham before he was circumcised!
11
Circumcision was a sign that Abraham already had faith and that God had already accepted him and declared him to be righteous — even before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the spiritual father of those who have faith but have not been circumcised. They are counted as righteous because of their faith.
12
And Abraham is also the spiritual father of those who have been circumcised, but only if they have the same kind of faith Abraham had before he was circumcised.
13
Clearly, God’s promise to give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants was based not on his obedience to God’s law, but on a right relationship with God that comes by faith.
English Standard Version
Chapter 4
8
blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin."
9
Is this blessing then only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness.
10
How then was it counted to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after, but before he was circumcised.
11
He received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised, so that righteousness would be counted to them as well,
12
and to make him the father of the circumcised who are not merely circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
13
For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith.
New International Version
Chapter 4
8
Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord will never count against them."
9
Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.
10
Under what circumstances was it credited? Was it after he was circumcised, or before? It was not after, but before!
11
And he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.
12
And he is then also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
13
It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.
New King James Version
Chapter 4
8
Blessed
is the
man to whom the
Lord
shall not impute sin.”
9
Does
this blessedness then
come
upon the circumcised
only,
or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
10
How then was it accounted? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised.
11
And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which
he had while still
uncircumcised, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they are uncircumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also,
12
and the father of circumcision to those who not only
are
of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham
had while still
uncircumcised.
13
For the promise that he would be the heir of the world
was
not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
