Do we therefore the law abolish by faith ? Not so, but the law itself we establish.

but to him who worketh not, but believeth only in him who justifieth sinners, his faith is reckoned to him for righteousness.

Is this blessedness, then, upon the circumcision (only), or upon the uncircumcision (also) ? Now we have said, that his faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

For he received the sign of circumcision (as) a seal of the righteousness of his faith, which (was his) in uncircumcision, that he should be the father of all them who believe of the uncircumcision; that it might be accounted also to them for righteousness:

and the father of the circumcision, not of them who are of the circumcision only, but of them who pursue [fn] the footsteps of the faith of uncircumcision of our father Abraham.

FOR not through the law was the promise unto Abraham and to his seed that he should be the heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith.

For if they who are of the law were heirs, faith would be vain, and the promise be abolished.

Therefore it is by faith, which is through grace, that we are justified, that the promise might be firm unto all his seed; not to that which is of the law only, but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all:

Nor was he weak in his faith, while considering his body dead, (for he was the son of an hundred years,) and the dead womb of Sara;

and at the promise of Aloha he wavered not as deficient in faith, but was strong in faith, and gave glory to Aloha;

And not for his sake only was this written, that his faith was reckoned for righteousness,

BECAUSE, then, we are justified by faith, we have peace with Aloha through our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

And by him we have been admitted through faith into this grace in which we stand, and exult in hope of the glory of Aloha.

WHAT then shall we say? That the Gentiles who have not followed after righteousness have attained righteousness, but that righteousness which is of faith:

For why ? Because it was not by faith, but by the works of the law: for they stumbled at the stone of stumbling;

But the righteousness which is by faith thus speaketh, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven, And bring down the Meshiha ?

But what saith it ? Nigh thee is the word of thy mouth and of thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach.

Therefore faith is from the hearing of the ear, and the hearing of the ear from the word of Aloha.

Well, they on account of unbelief were cut off, and thou by faith standest: be not exalted in thy mind, but fear.

And they, if they continue not in their want of faith, they also shall be engrafted; for Aloha is able again to engraft them.
