아브라함의 모범
4 그렇다면 우리는, 육에 따른 우리의 조상인 아브라함[a]이 무엇을 경험했다고 말해야겠습니까?[b] 2 하나님께서 아브라함을 그의 행위를 보시고 받아 주셨다면, 그는 한번 자랑해 볼 만도 합니다. 그러나 아브라함은 하나님 앞에서 자랑할 것이 없었습니다. 3 성경은 무엇이라고 말합니까? “아브라함이 하나님을 믿으니, 하나님께서 그를 받아 주실 만한 사람으로 여겨 주셨다.”(A)라고 하였습니다.
4 일을 하는 사람의 경우에는, 그가 받는 품삯이 선물이 아니라 당연히 받을 보수로 여겨집니다. 5 그러나 일은 하지 않으나, 악한 사람을 받아 주시는 하나님을 믿는 사람의 경우에는, 하나님께서 그의 믿음을 보시고 그를 받아 주실 만한 사람으로 여겨 주십니다. 6 다윗[c]도 일과는 상관없이 하나님께서 받아 주실 만한 사람으로 여겨 주시는 사람은 복이 있다고 같은 뜻의 말을 하고 있습니다.
7 “하나님께서 잘못을 용서해 주시고
죄를 덮어 주신 사람은
복이 있다.
8 주께서
그의 죄를 생각하지 않는 사람은
복이 있다!”(B)
9 그렇다면 이러한 복은 할례 받은 사람에게만 내리는 것입니까? 아니면 할례를 받지 않은 사람에게도 내리는 것입니까? 우리는 앞에서 “하나님께서 아브라함의 믿음을 보시고 그를 받아 줄 만한 사람으로 여기셨다.” 라고 말하였습니다. 10 그가 어떤 상황에 처해 있을 때에 그를 받아 줄 만한 사람으로 여기셨습니까? 그가 할례 받은 뒤입니까, 아니면 받기 전이었습니까? 그가 할례 받은 뒤가 아니라 받기 전이었습니다. 11 그리고 그는, 하나님께서 그가 할례 받기 전에 가졌던 믿음을 보시고 그를 받아 주셨다는 것을 확인하는 도장으로서, 할례라는 표적[d]을 받았습니다. 그렇다면 그는 믿으면서도 할례는 받지 않은 모든 사람의 조상입니다. 그것은, 할례를 받지 않은 사람들도 하나님께서 받아 줄 만한 사람들로 여기시려는 것입니다. 12 또한 아브라함은 할례를 받은 사람들의 조상이기도 합니다. 그 사람들은 할례를 받았을 뿐만 아니라, 우리 조상 아브라함이 할례를 받기 전에 가졌던 믿음의 발자취를 좇아 살기도 한 사람들입니다.
믿음을 통해서 받은 하나님의 약속
13 하나님께서는 아브라함과 그의 자손에게 세상을 물려주겠다는 약속을 하셨습니다. 그러나 아브라함이 그 약속을 받은 것은, 그가 율법을 지켰기 때문이 아닙니다. 그가 그런 약속을 받은 것은, 하나님께서 그의 믿음을 보시고 그를 받아 주셨기 때문입니다. 14 율법을 따라 사는 사람이 하나님께서 약속하신 것을 받는다면, 믿음은 소용없는 것입니다. 그리고 하나님께서 아브라함에게 하신 약속도 쓸모없는 것이 되어 버립니다. 15 율법은 하나님의 진노를 불러옵니다. 그리고 율법이 없는 곳에는 율법을 어기는 일도 없습니다.
16 그러므로 이 약속은 믿음에 그 바탕을 둔 것입니다. 그것은, 약속이 하나님께서 거저 주시는 선물이 되게 하려는 것입니다. 그리고 아브라함의 모든 자손, 곧 모세의 율법을 믿고 받드는 사람들뿐만 아니라 아브라함이 가졌던 믿음을 가진 사람은, 누구든지 약속하신 것을 받을 수 있다는 것을 보장하려는 것입니다. (아브라함은 우리 모두의 조상이기 때문입니다. 17 성경[e]에도 “나는 너 아브라함을 많은 민족의[f] 조상으로 삼았다.”(C)라고 기록되어 있습니다.) 이 약속은, 그가 믿은 하나님, 곧 죽은 자를 살리시고 없는 것도 있게 만드시는 하나님 앞에서 보장된 것입니다. 18 아브라함이 자손을 가지게 되리라는 희망이 이루어질 수 없을 것 같아 보였을 때에도, 아브라함은 여전히 희망을 가지고 하나님의 약속을 굳게 믿었습니다. 그래서 그는, “네 자손이 하늘의 별들처럼 많아질 것이다.”(D)라는 하나님의 말씀처럼, 많은 민족의 조상이 되었습니다. 19 그때 아브라함의 나이는 거의 백 살이어서, 그의 몸은 이미 죽은 것과 마찬가지였습니다. 그리고 그의 아내 사라의 자궁 또한 죽은 것이나 마찬가지였습니다. 아브라함도 이런 점들을 잘 알고 있었습니다. 그러나 하나님에 대한 그의 믿음은 약해지지 않았습니다. 20 아브라함은 하나님께서 당신의 약속을 지키시리라는 것을 의심하지 않았습니다. 그는 오히려 믿음이 더욱 강해져서 하나님을 찬양하였습니다. 21 아브라함은, 하나님은 약속하신 것을 이룰 수 있는 능력을 가진 분이심을 굳게 믿었습니다. 22 그 믿음 때문에 “하나님께서는 그를 받아 줄 만한 사람으로 여기셨습니다.”(E) 23 그것은 아브라함만을 위한 것이 아니라 24 우리를 위한 것이기도 하였습니다. 하나님께서는 우리 주 예수를 죽은 자들 가운데서 살려내신 분을 믿는 우리도 받아 줄 만한 사람들로 여기시려 했기 때문입니다. 25 예수는 우리의 죄 때문에 죽음에 넘겨지셨습니다. 그리고 우리를 하나님께서 받아 주실 만한 사람들이 되게 하시려고 죽음에서 살리심을 받았습니다.

Abraham Justified by Faith(A)
4 What then shall we say that (B)Abraham our (C)father[a] has found according to the flesh? 2 For if Abraham was (D)justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? (E)“Abraham believed God, and it was [b]accounted to him for righteousness.” 4 Now (F)to him who works, the wages are not counted [c]as grace but as debt.
David Celebrates the Same Truth
5 But to him who (G)does not work but believes on Him who justifies (H)the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, 6 just as David also (I)describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:
7 “Blessed(J) are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
And whose sins are covered;
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.”
Abraham Justified Before Circumcision
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 (K)he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that (L)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 (M)Abraham had while still uncircumcised.
The Promise Granted Through Faith
13 For the promise that he would be the (N)heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For (O)if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect, 15 because (P)the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.
16 Therefore it is of faith that it might be (Q)according to grace, (R)so that the promise might be [d]sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, (S)who is the father of us all 17 (as it is written, (T)“I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, (U)who gives life to the dead and calls those (V)things which do not exist as though they did; 18 who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, (W)“So shall your descendants be.” 19 And not being weak in faith, (X)he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), (Y)and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised (Z)He was also able to perform. 22 And therefore (AA)“it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
23 Now (AB)it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, 24 but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe (AC)in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 (AD)who was delivered up because of our offenses, and (AE)was raised because of our justification.

Abraham Justified by Faith
4 What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, (A)our forefather according to the flesh? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but (B)not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? (C)“Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” 4 Now (D)to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. 5 And to the one who does not work but (E)believes in[a] him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, 6 just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
7 (F)“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
and whose sins are covered;
8 blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not (G)count his sin.”
9 Is this blessing then only for (H)the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? (I)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 (J)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 (K)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.
The Promise Realized Through Faith
13 For (L)the promise to Abraham and his offspring (M)that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith. 14 (N)For if it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void. 15 For (O)the law brings wrath, but (P)where there is no law (Q)there is no transgression.
16 That is why it depends on faith, (R)in order that the promise may rest on grace and (S)be guaranteed to all his offspring—not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, (T)who is the father of us all, 17 as it is written, (U)“I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, (V)who gives life to the dead and calls into existence (W)the things that do not exist. 18 In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, (X)“So shall your offspring be.” 19 He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was (Y)as good as dead ((Z)since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered (AA)the barrenness[b] of Sarah's womb. 20 No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, 21 fully convinced that (AB)God was able to do what he had promised. 22 That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.” 23 But (AC)the words “it was counted to him” were not written for his sake alone, 24 but for ours also. It will be counted to us (AD)who believe in (AE)him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, 25 (AF)who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised (AG)for our justification.

Abraham Justified by Faith
4 What then shall we say(A) that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh,(B) discovered in this matter? 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God.(C) 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”[a](D)
4 Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift(E) but as an obligation. 5 However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness.(F) 6 David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
7 “Blessed are those
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord will never count against them.”[b](G)
9 Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised?(H) We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.(I) 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.(J) So then, he is the father(K) of all who believe(L) 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(M) that he would be heir of the world,(N) but through the righteousness that comes by faith.(O) 14 For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless,(P) 15 because the law brings wrath.(Q) And where there is no law there is no transgression.(R)
16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace(S) and may be guaranteed(T) to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.(U) 17 As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.”[c](V) He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life(W) to the dead and calls(X) into being things that were not.(Y)
18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations,(Z) just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”[d](AA) 19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead(AB)—since he was about a hundred years old(AC)—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead.(AD) 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened(AE) in his faith and gave glory to God,(AF) 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.(AG) 22 This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”(AH) 23 The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, 24 but also for us,(AI) to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him(AJ) who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.(AK) 25 He was delivered over to death for our sins(AL) and was raised to life for our justification.(AM)
