Róma 4
Hungarian New Translation
Ábrahám hit által igazult meg
4 Mit mondjunk tehát, mit ért el Ábrahám, a mi test szerinti ősatyánk a saját erejéből?
2 Ha ugyanis Ábrahám cselekedetekből igazult meg, akkor van mivel dicsekednie, de nem Isten előtt.
3 De mit mond az Írás? "Hitt Ábrahám az Istennek, és Isten ezt számította be neki igazságul."
4 Aki fáradozik, annak a bért nem kegyelemből számítják, hanem azért, mert tartoznak vele.
5 Aki pedig nem fáradozik, hanem hisz abban, aki megigazítja az istentelent, annak a hite számít igazságnak.
6 Ahogyan Dávid is azt az embert mondja boldognak, akinek az Isten cselekedetek nélkül tulajdonít igazságot:
7 "Boldogok, akiknek megbocsáttattak törvényszegéseik, és akiknek elfedeztettek bűneik.
8 Boldog az az ember, akinek az Úr nem tulajdonít bűnt."
Ábrahám minden hívő atyja
9 Most tehát ez a boldognak mondás csak a körülmetélteknek szól-e, vagy a körülmetéletleneknek is? Valóban azt olvassuk, hogy "Ábrahám hitt az Úrnak, aki ezért igaznak fogadta el őt."
10 De milyen állapotában fogadta el őt igaznak: körülmetélten vagy körülmetéletlenül? Nem körülmetélten, hanem körülmetéletlenül.
11 Sőt a körülmetélkedés jelét is körülmetéletlenül tanúsított hite igazságának pecsétjéül kapta, hogy atyja legyen minden körülmetéletlen hívőnek, hogy azok is igaznak fogadtassanak el;
12 és hogy atyja legyen azoknak a körülmetélteknek is, akik nemcsak körül vannak metélve, hanem nyomába is lépnek atyánk, Ábrahám körülmetéletlenül tanúsított hitének.
Ábrahám az ígéretben bízó hit példája
13 Mert Ábrahám vagy az utóda nem a törvény, hanem a hitből való igazsága alapján részesült abban az ígéretben, hogy örökölni fogja a világot.
14 Hiszen ha a törvény emberei az örökösök, akkor üressé lett a hit, és valóra válthatatlan az ígéret;
15 mivel a törvény csak büntetést eredményezhet. Ahol azonban nincs törvény, ott nincs törvényszegés.
16 Azért adatott tehát az ígéret a hit alapján, hogy kegyelemből legyen, és így bizonyos legyen az ígéret Ábrahám minden utóda számára: nem csak a törvény alatt élőknek, hanem az Ábrahám hitét követőknek is. Ő mindnyájunk atyja
17 Isten színe előtt, ahogyan meg van írva: "Sok nép atyjává tettelek." Mert hitte, hogy Isten megeleveníti a holtakat, és létre hívja a nem létezőket.
18 Reménység ellenére is reménykedve hitte, hogy sok nép atyjává lesz, ahogyan megmondatott: "Ennyi lesz a te magod!"
19 Mert hitében nem gyengült meg, amikor arra gondolt, hogy százesztendős lévén, elhalt már saját teste, és Sára méhe is elhalt.
20 Isten ígéretét sem vonta kétségbe hitetlenül, sőt megerősödött a hitben dicsőséget adva Istennek,
21 és teljesen bizonyos volt afelől, hogy amit Isten ígér, azt meg is tudja tenni.
22 Ezért Isten ezt "be is számította neki igazságul".
23 De az, hogy "beszámította neki igazságul", nem egyedül érte van megírva,
24 hanem értünk is, akiknek majd beszámítja, ha hiszünk abban, aki feltámasztotta a halottak közül Jézust, a mi Urunkat;
25 aki halálra adatott bűneinkért, és feltámasztatott megigazulásunkért.
Romans 4
English Standard Version
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.

New King James Version
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.
