But to the one who does not work, but who believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited for righteousness,

How then was it credited? While he was circumcised or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised but while uncircumcised!

and the father of those who are circumcised to those who are not only from the circumcision, but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith of our father Abraham which he had while uncircumcised.

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 by faith.

For the law produces wrath, but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

Because of this, it is by faith, in order that it may be according to grace, so that the promise may be secure to all the descendants, not only to those of the law, but also to those of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

And he did not waver in unbelief at the promise of God, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God

But it was not written for the sake of him alone that it was credited to him,

but also for the sake of us to whom it is going to be credited, to those who believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

And not only this, but we also boast in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces patient endurance,

but God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

And not only this, but also we are boasting in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

For until the law, sin was in the world, but sin is not charged to one's account when there is no law.

But death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who did not sin in the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of the one who is to come.

But the gift is not like the trespass, for if by the trespass of the one, the many died, by much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, multiply to the many.

And the gift is not as through the one who sinned, for on the one hand, judgment from the one sin led to condemnation, but the gift, from many trespasses, led to justification.

Now the law came in as a side issue, in order that the trespass could increase, but where sin increased, grace was present in greater abundance,

For that death he died, he died to sin once and never again, but that life he lives, he lives to God.

So also you, consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

and do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.
