through whom we have received grace and apostleship for the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles on behalf of his name,

First, I give thanks to my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed in the whole world.

that is, to be encouraged together with you through our mutual faith, both yours and mine.

For the righteousness of God is revealed in it from faith to faith, just as it is written, "But the one who is righteous by faith will live."

that is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. For there is no distinction,

whom God made publicly available as the mercy seat through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness, because of the passing over of previously committed sins,

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 if those of the law are heirs, faith is rendered void and the promise is nullified.

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 not being weak in faith, he considered his own body as good as dead, because he was approximately a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb.

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