About Romans 4"Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness," and David speaks of the blessedness of those "whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered." This was counted to Abraham "Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision," so "that he might be the father of all them that believe," and the promise came "not... through the law, but through the righteousness of faith." Abraham "staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith," and this was written "for us also," who believe on him that raised up Jesus, "Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification."
