Romans

Chapter 4

1 WHAT then shall we say concerning Abraham, the chief of our forefathers, who lived according to the flesh before God called him?

2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he had reason to be proud; but not before God.

3 For what said the scripture? Abraham believed in God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.

4 But to him who works, wages are not considered as a favor but as that which is due to him.

5 And to him who works not, but only believes in him who justifies sinners, his faith is counted for righteousness.

6 Just as David also said about the blessedness of the man, whom God declared righteous without works,

7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are wiped away.

8 Blessed is the man whose sins God will not hold against him.

9 Now, therefore, is this blessedness on account of circumcision, or on account of uncircumcision? for we say that Abraham's faith was accounted to him for righteousness.

10 How then was it given to him? by means of circumcision, or in uncircumcision? It was not given in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

11 For he received circumcision as a sign and a seal of the righteousness of his faith while he was uncircumcised: that he might become the father of all them who believe, though they be not circumcised, that righteousness might be given to them also;

12 So that the father of circumcision is not only to those who are of circumcision, but also to those who walk in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham while he was yet uncircumcised.

13 For the promise to Abraham and his seed that he should inherit the world was not made through the law, but through the righteousness of his faith.

14 For if they had become heirs by means of the law, then faith would have been empty and the promise made of no effect.

15 For the law causes provocation; for where there is no law, there is no transgression.

16 Therefore it is by faith that we will be justified by grace; so that the promise might be sure to all his seed; not only to him who is of the law, but also to him who is of the faith of Abraham who is the father of us all,

17 As it is written, I have made you a father of many peoples, in the presence of the God in whom you have believed, who quickens the dead, and who invites those who are not yet in being, as though they were present.

18 For he who was hopeless trusted in hope, that he might become the father of many peoples, as it is written, So shall your seed be.

19 His faith never weakened even when he examined his old body when he was a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb.

20 He did not doubt the promise of God as one who lacks faith; but his faith gave him strength, and he gave glory to God.

21 He felt assured that what God had promised him, God was able to fulfill.

22 Therefore it was given to him for righteousness.

23 That his faith was given for righteousness, was not written for his sake alone,

24 But for us also, for he will number us also, who believe in him who raised our LORD Jesus Christ from the dead;

25 Who was delivered up for our offences and arose that he might justify us.

Kapitel 4

1 Was5101 sagen2046 wir denn3767 von unserm2257 Vater3962 Abraham11, daß er gefunden habe2147 nach2596 dem Fleisch4561?

2 Das1063 sagen wir: Ist Abraham11 durch1537 die Werke2041 gerecht1344, so hat2192 er wohl Ruhm2745, aber1487 nicht3756 vor4314 GOtt2316.

3 Was5101 sagt3004 denn1063 die Schrift? Abraham11 hat4100 GOtt2316 geglaubet, und2532 das ist ihm846 zur1519 Gerechtigkeit1343 gerechnet3049.

4 Dem aber1161, der2596 mit2038 Werken umgehet, wird3049 der2596 Lohn3408 nicht3756 aus Gnade5485 zugerechnet3049, sondern235 aus Pflicht3783.

5 Dem846 aber1161, der nicht3361 mit2038 Werken umgehet, glaubet aber1161 an1909 den, der die GOttlosen765 gerecht1344 macht, dem wird sein Glaube4100 gerechnet3049 zur1519 Gerechtigkeit1343.

6 Nach welcher3739 Weise2509 auch2532 David1138 sagt, daß die Seligkeit3108 sei allein des Menschen444, welchem GOtt2316 zurechnet3049 die Gerechtigkeit1343 ohne5565 Zutun der Werke2041, da er spricht3004:

7 Selig3107 sind1943 die3739, welchen3739 ihre Ungerechtigkeiten458 vergeben863 sind, und2532 welchen ihre Sünden266 bedecket sind.

8 Selig3107 ist3049 der Mann435, welchem3739 GOtt2962 keine Sünde266 zurechnet3049.

9 Nun3767, diese3778 Seligkeit3108, gehet sie über1909 die Beschneidung4061 oder2228 über1909 die Vorhaut? Wir2532 müssen je sagen3004, daß3754 Abraham11 sei sein Glaube4102 zur1519 Gerechtigkeit1343 gerechnet3049.

10 Wie4459 ist3049 er ihm denn3767 zugerechnet3049, in1722 der Beschneidung4061 oder2228 in1722 der Vorhaut? Ohne Zweifel nicht3756 in1722 der Beschneidung4061, sondern235 in1722 der Vorhaut.

11 Das3588 Zeichen4592 aber der Beschneidung4061 empfing2983 er846 zum Siegel4973 der Gerechtigkeit1343 des Glaubens, welchen er noch in1722 der Vorhaut hatte, auf daß er würde1511 ein Vater3962 aller3956, die da2532 glauben4102 in der Vorhaut, daß denselbigen solches auch2532 gerechnet3049 werde zur Gerechtigkeit1343

12 und2532 würde auch2532 ein Vater3962 der Beschneidung4061, nicht3756 allein3440 derer, die von1537 der Beschneidung4061 sind, sondern235 auch derer, die wandeln4748 in1722 den Fußtapfen2487 des Glaubens4102, welcher war in der Vorhaut unsers2257 Vaters3962 Abraham11.

13 Denn1063 die Verheißung1860, daß1223 er846 sollte sein1511 der Welt2889 Erbe2818, ist nicht3756 geschehen Abraham11 oder2228 seinem Samen4690 durchs Gesetz3551, sondern235 durch1223 die Gerechtigkeit1343 des Glaubens4102.

14 Denn1063 wo die vom1537 Gesetz3551 Erben2818 sind, so1487 ist2758 der Glaube4102 nichts, und2532 die Verheißung1860 ist ab.

15 Sintemal das1063 Gesetz3551 richtet nur Zorn3709 an; denn1063 wo3757 das Gesetz3551 nicht3756 ist2076, da ist auch3761 keine Übertretung3847.

16 Derhalben muß die3739 Gerechtigkeit durch den Glauben4102 kommen, auf2596 daß5124 sie sei1511 aus1537 Gnaden5485, und235 die Verheißung1860 fest949 bleibe allem Samen4690, nicht3756 dem alleine, der1537 unter1519 dem Gesetz3551 ist2076, sondern2443 auch2532 dem, der des Glaubens4102 Abrahams11 ist, welcher3956 ist unser2257 aller3956 Vater3962,

17 wie2531 geschrieben stehet: Ich habe dich4571 gesetzt zum Vater3962 vieler4183 Heiden1484 vor2713 GOtt2316, dem du geglaubet hast5087, der da lebendig2227 machet die Toten3498 und2532 rufet dem, das3739 nicht3361 ist4100, daß5613 es sei2564.

18 Und er846 hat4100 geglaubet auf1909 Hoffnung1680, da3739 nichts zu hoffen war1096, auf1519 daß er würde ein Vater3962 vieler4183 Heiden1484, wie2596 denn3844 zu ihm gesagt ist2046: Also3779 soll2071 dein4675 Same4690 sein2071.

19 Und2532 er ward nicht3361 schwach770 im Glauben4102, sah2657 auch2532 nicht3756 an4225 seinen1438 eigenen Leib4983, welcher schon2235 erstorben war5225, weil er fast hundertjährig1541 war, auch nicht den erstorbenen3499 Leib3388 der Sara4564.

20 Denn er zweifelte1252 nicht3756 an1519 der Verheißung1860 Gottes2316 durch Unglauben570, sondern235 ward1743 stark im Glauben4102 und1161 gab1325 GOtt2316 die Ehre1391

21 und2532 wußte aufs allergewisseste4135, daß3754, was GOtt verheißet, das3739 kann1415 er2076 auch2532 tun4160.

22 Darum1352 ist‘s ihm846 auch2532 zur1519 Gerechtigkeit1343 gerechnet3049.

23 Das ist1125 aber1161 nicht3756 geschrieben1125 allein3440 um seinetwillen, daß3754 es846 ihm846 zugerechnet ist3049,

24 sondern235 auch2532 um1223 unsertwillen, welchen es soll3195 zugerechnet werden3049, so wir2248 glauben4100 an1909 den, der3739 unsern2257 HErrn2962 JEsum2424 auferwecket hat1453 von1537 den Toten3498.

25 welcher3739 ist3860 um1223 unserer2257 Sünden3900 willen dahingegeben und2532 um1223 unserer2257 Gerechtigkeit1347 willen auferwecket.

Der Brief des Paulus an die Römer

Kapitel 4

1 WHAT then shall we say concerning Abraham, the chief of our forefathers, who lived according to the flesh before God called him?

1 Was5101 sagen2046 wir denn3767 von unserm2257 Vater3962 Abraham11, daß er gefunden habe2147 nach2596 dem Fleisch4561?

2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he had reason to be proud; but not before God.

2 Das1063 sagen wir: Ist Abraham11 durch1537 die Werke2041 gerecht1344, so hat2192 er wohl Ruhm2745, aber1487 nicht3756 vor4314 GOtt2316.

3 For what said the scripture? Abraham believed in God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.

3 Was5101 sagt3004 denn1063 die Schrift? Abraham11 hat4100 GOtt2316 geglaubet, und2532 das ist ihm846 zur1519 Gerechtigkeit1343 gerechnet3049.

4 But to him who works, wages are not considered as a favor but as that which is due to him.

4 Dem aber1161, der2596 mit2038 Werken umgehet, wird3049 der2596 Lohn3408 nicht3756 aus Gnade5485 zugerechnet3049, sondern235 aus Pflicht3783.

5 And to him who works not, but only believes in him who justifies sinners, his faith is counted for righteousness.

5 Dem846 aber1161, der nicht3361 mit2038 Werken umgehet, glaubet aber1161 an1909 den, der die GOttlosen765 gerecht1344 macht, dem wird sein Glaube4100 gerechnet3049 zur1519 Gerechtigkeit1343.

6 Just as David also said about the blessedness of the man, whom God declared righteous without works,

6 Nach welcher3739 Weise2509 auch2532 David1138 sagt, daß die Seligkeit3108 sei allein des Menschen444, welchem GOtt2316 zurechnet3049 die Gerechtigkeit1343 ohne5565 Zutun der Werke2041, da er spricht3004:

7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are wiped away.

7 Selig3107 sind1943 die3739, welchen3739 ihre Ungerechtigkeiten458 vergeben863 sind, und2532 welchen ihre Sünden266 bedecket sind.

8 Blessed is the man whose sins God will not hold against him.

8 Selig3107 ist3049 der Mann435, welchem3739 GOtt2962 keine Sünde266 zurechnet3049.

9 Now, therefore, is this blessedness on account of circumcision, or on account of uncircumcision? for we say that Abraham's faith was accounted to him for righteousness.

9 Nun3767, diese3778 Seligkeit3108, gehet sie über1909 die Beschneidung4061 oder2228 über1909 die Vorhaut? Wir2532 müssen je sagen3004, daß3754 Abraham11 sei sein Glaube4102 zur1519 Gerechtigkeit1343 gerechnet3049.

10 How then was it given to him? by means of circumcision, or in uncircumcision? It was not given in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

10 Wie4459 ist3049 er ihm denn3767 zugerechnet3049, in1722 der Beschneidung4061 oder2228 in1722 der Vorhaut? Ohne Zweifel nicht3756 in1722 der Beschneidung4061, sondern235 in1722 der Vorhaut.

11 For he received circumcision as a sign and a seal of the righteousness of his faith while he was uncircumcised: that he might become the father of all them who believe, though they be not circumcised, that righteousness might be given to them also;

11 Das3588 Zeichen4592 aber der Beschneidung4061 empfing2983 er846 zum Siegel4973 der Gerechtigkeit1343 des Glaubens, welchen er noch in1722 der Vorhaut hatte, auf daß er würde1511 ein Vater3962 aller3956, die da2532 glauben4102 in der Vorhaut, daß denselbigen solches auch2532 gerechnet3049 werde zur Gerechtigkeit1343

12 So that the father of circumcision is not only to those who are of circumcision, but also to those who walk in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham while he was yet uncircumcised.

12 und2532 würde auch2532 ein Vater3962 der Beschneidung4061, nicht3756 allein3440 derer, die von1537 der Beschneidung4061 sind, sondern235 auch derer, die wandeln4748 in1722 den Fußtapfen2487 des Glaubens4102, welcher war in der Vorhaut unsers2257 Vaters3962 Abraham11.

13 For the promise to Abraham and his seed that he should inherit the world was not made through the law, but through the righteousness of his faith.

13 Denn1063 die Verheißung1860, daß1223 er846 sollte sein1511 der Welt2889 Erbe2818, ist nicht3756 geschehen Abraham11 oder2228 seinem Samen4690 durchs Gesetz3551, sondern235 durch1223 die Gerechtigkeit1343 des Glaubens4102.

14 For if they had become heirs by means of the law, then faith would have been empty and the promise made of no effect.

14 Denn1063 wo die vom1537 Gesetz3551 Erben2818 sind, so1487 ist2758 der Glaube4102 nichts, und2532 die Verheißung1860 ist ab.

15 For the law causes provocation; for where there is no law, there is no transgression.

15 Sintemal das1063 Gesetz3551 richtet nur Zorn3709 an; denn1063 wo3757 das Gesetz3551 nicht3756 ist2076, da ist auch3761 keine Übertretung3847.

16 Therefore it is by faith that we will be justified by grace; so that the promise might be sure to all his seed; not only to him who is of the law, but also to him who is of the faith of Abraham who is the father of us all,

16 Derhalben muß die3739 Gerechtigkeit durch den Glauben4102 kommen, auf2596 daß5124 sie sei1511 aus1537 Gnaden5485, und235 die Verheißung1860 fest949 bleibe allem Samen4690, nicht3756 dem alleine, der1537 unter1519 dem Gesetz3551 ist2076, sondern2443 auch2532 dem, der des Glaubens4102 Abrahams11 ist, welcher3956 ist unser2257 aller3956 Vater3962,

17 As it is written, I have made you a father of many peoples, in the presence of the God in whom you have believed, who quickens the dead, and who invites those who are not yet in being, as though they were present.

17 wie2531 geschrieben stehet: Ich habe dich4571 gesetzt zum Vater3962 vieler4183 Heiden1484 vor2713 GOtt2316, dem du geglaubet hast5087, der da lebendig2227 machet die Toten3498 und2532 rufet dem, das3739 nicht3361 ist4100, daß5613 es sei2564.

18 For he who was hopeless trusted in hope, that he might become the father of many peoples, as it is written, So shall your seed be.

18 Und er846 hat4100 geglaubet auf1909 Hoffnung1680, da3739 nichts zu hoffen war1096, auf1519 daß er würde ein Vater3962 vieler4183 Heiden1484, wie2596 denn3844 zu ihm gesagt ist2046: Also3779 soll2071 dein4675 Same4690 sein2071.

19 His faith never weakened even when he examined his old body when he was a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah's womb.

19 Und2532 er ward nicht3361 schwach770 im Glauben4102, sah2657 auch2532 nicht3756 an4225 seinen1438 eigenen Leib4983, welcher schon2235 erstorben war5225, weil er fast hundertjährig1541 war, auch nicht den erstorbenen3499 Leib3388 der Sara4564.

20 He did not doubt the promise of God as one who lacks faith; but his faith gave him strength, and he gave glory to God.

20 Denn er zweifelte1252 nicht3756 an1519 der Verheißung1860 Gottes2316 durch Unglauben570, sondern235 ward1743 stark im Glauben4102 und1161 gab1325 GOtt2316 die Ehre1391

21 He felt assured that what God had promised him, God was able to fulfill.

21 und2532 wußte aufs allergewisseste4135, daß3754, was GOtt verheißet, das3739 kann1415 er2076 auch2532 tun4160.

22 Therefore it was given to him for righteousness.

22 Darum1352 ist‘s ihm846 auch2532 zur1519 Gerechtigkeit1343 gerechnet3049.

23 That his faith was given for righteousness, was not written for his sake alone,

23 Das ist1125 aber1161 nicht3756 geschrieben1125 allein3440 um seinetwillen, daß3754 es846 ihm846 zugerechnet ist3049,

24 But for us also, for he will number us also, who believe in him who raised our LORD Jesus Christ from the dead;

24 sondern235 auch2532 um1223 unsertwillen, welchen es soll3195 zugerechnet werden3049, so wir2248 glauben4100 an1909 den, der3739 unsern2257 HErrn2962 JEsum2424 auferwecket hat1453 von1537 den Toten3498.

25 Who was delivered up for our offences and arose that he might justify us.

25 welcher3739 ist3860 um1223 unserer2257 Sünden3900 willen dahingegeben und2532 um1223 unserer2257 Gerechtigkeit1347 willen auferwecket.
