through whom we did receive grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name;

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

and that is, that I may be comforted together among you, through the faith in one another, both yours and mine.

For the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it hath been written, `And the righteous one by faith shall live,'

unintelligent, faithless, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful;

for what, if certain were faithless? shall their faithlessness the faithfulness of god make useless?

and the righteousness of God [is] through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, -- for there is no difference,

whom God did set forth a mercy seat, through the faith in his blood, for the shewing forth of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the bygone sins in the forbearance of God --

for the shewing forth of His righteousness in the present time, for His being righteous, and declaring him righteous who [is] of the faith of Jesus.

Where then [is] the boasting? it was excluded; by what law? of works? no, but by a law of faith:

therefore do we reckon a man to be declared righteous by faith, apart from works of law.

yes, also of nations; since one [is] God who shall declare righteous the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through the faith.

Law then do we make useless through the faith? let it not be! yea, we do establish law.

and to him who is not working, and is believing upon Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned -- to righteousness:

[Is] this happiness, then, upon the circumcision, or also upon the uncircumcision -- for we say that the faith was reckoned to Abraham -- to righteousness?

and a sign he did receive of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith in the uncircumcision, for his being father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness also being reckoned to them,

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

For not through law [is] the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith;

for if they who are of law [are] heirs, the faith hath been made void, and the promise hath been made useless;

Because of this [it is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which [is] of the law only, but also to that which [is] of the faith of Abraham,

and not having been weak in the faith, he did not consider his own body, already become dead, (being about a hundred years old,) and the deadness of Sarah's womb,

and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God,

Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

through whom also we have the access by the faith into this grace in which we have stood, and we boast on the hope of the glory of God.

What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that [is] of faith,
