by whom we have received grace and apostleship in behalf of his name, for obedience of faith among all the nations,

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world.

that is, to have mutual comfort among you, each by the faith [which is] in the other, both yours and mine.

for righteousness of God is revealed therein, on the principle of faith, to faith: according as it is written, But the just shall live by faith.

void of understanding, faithless, without natural affection, unmerciful;

For what? if some have not believed, shall their unbelief make the faith of God of none effect?

righteousness of God by faith of Jesus Christ towards all, and upon all those who believe: for there is no difference;

whom God has set forth a mercy-seat, through faith in his blood, for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness, in respect of the passing by the sins that had taken place before, through the forbearance of God;

for [the] shewing forth of his righteousness in the present time, so that he should be just, and justify him that is of [the] faith of Jesus.

Where then [is] boasting? It has been excluded. By what law? of works? Nay, but by law of faith;

for we reckon that a man is justified by faith, without works of law.

since indeed [it is] one God who shall justify [the] circumcision on the principle of faith, and uncircumcision by faith.

Do we then make void law by faith? Far be the thought: [no,] but we establish law.

but to him who does not work, but believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.

[Does] this blessedness then [rest] on the circumcision, or also on the uncircumcision? For we say that faith has been reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.

And he received [the] sign of circumcision [as] seal of the righteousness of faith which [he had] being in uncircumcision, that he might be [the] father of all them that believe being in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned to them also;

and father of circumcision, not only to those who are of [the] circumcision, but to those also who walk in the steps of the faith, during uncircumcision, of our father Abraham.

For [it was] not by law that the promise was to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of [the] world, but by righteousness of faith.

For if they which [are] of law be heirs, faith is made vain, and the promise made of no effect.

Therefore [it is] on the principle of faith, that [it might be] according to grace, in order to the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that only which [is] of the law, but to that also which [is] of Abraham's faith, who is father of us all,

and not being weak in faith, he considered not his own body already become dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadening of Sarah's womb,

and hesitated not at the promise of God through unbelief; but found strength in faith, giving glory to God;

Therefore having been justified on the principle of faith, we have peace towards God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

by whom we have also access by faith into this favour in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God.

What then shall we say? That [they of the] nations, who did not follow after righteousness, have attained righteousness, but [the] righteousness that is on the principle of faith.
