절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	The Example of Abraham Well then, what can we say about our ancestor Abraham?	What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
2	If he became acceptable to God because of what he did, then he would have something to brag about. But he would never be able to brag about it to God.	For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
3	The Scriptures say, “God accepted Abraham because Abraham had faith in him.”	For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4	Money paid to workers isn't a gift. It is something they earn by working.	Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5	But you cannot make God accept you because of something you do. God accepts sinners only because they have faith in him.	But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6	In the Scriptures David talks about the blessings that come to people who are acceptable to God, even though they don't do anything to deserve these blessings. David says,	Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7	—	Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8	“What a blessing when God forgives our sins and our evil deeds. What a blessing when the Lord erases our sins from his book.”	Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9	Are these blessings meant for circumcised people or for those who are not circumcised? Well, the Scriptures say that God accepted Abraham because Abraham had faith in him.	Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
10	But when did this happen? Was it before or after Abraham was circumcised? Of course, it was before.	How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11	Abraham let himself be circumcised to show he had been accepted because of his faith even before he was circumcised. This makes Abraham the father of all who are acceptable to God because of their faith, even though they are not circumcised.	And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
12	This also makes Abraham the father of everyone who is circumcised and has faith in God, as Abraham did before he was circumcised.	And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
13	The Promise Is for All Who Have Faith God promised Abraham and his descendants that he would give them the world. This promise wasn't made because Abraham had obeyed a law, but because his faith in God made him acceptable.	For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14	If Abraham and his descendants were given this promise because they had obeyed a law, then faith would mean nothing, and the promise would be worthless.	For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
15	God becomes angry when his Law is broken. But where there isn't a law, it cannot be broken.	Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
16	Everything depends on having faith in God, so that God's promise is assured by his gift of undeserved grace. This promise isn't only for Abraham's descendants who have the Law. It is for all who are Abraham's descendants because they have faith, just as he did. Abraham is the ancestor of us all.	Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
17	The Scriptures say that Abraham would become the ancestor of many nations. This promise was made to Abraham because he had faith in God, who raises the dead to life and creates new things.	(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
18	God promised Abraham a lot of descendants. And when it all seemed hopeless, Abraham still had faith in God and became the ancestor of many nations.	Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
19	Abraham's faith never became weak, not even when he was nearly 100 years old. He knew he was almost dead and that his wife Sarah could not have children.	And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb:
20	But Abraham never doubted or questioned God's promise. His faith made him strong, and he gave all the credit to God.	He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21	Abraham was certain that God could do what he had promised.	And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22	So God accepted him,	And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
23	just as we read in the Scriptures. But these words were not written only for Abraham.	Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
24	They were written for us, since we will also be accepted because of our faith in God, who raised our Lord Jesus to life.	But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
25	God gave Jesus to die for our sins, and he raised him to life, so that we would be made acceptable to God.	Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
