Bréf Páls til Rómverja 4
Icelandic Bible
4 Hvað eigum vér þá að segja um Abraham, forföður vorn, hvað ávann hann?
2 Ef hann réttlættist af verkum, þá hefur hann hrósunarefni, en ekki fyrir Guði.
3 Því hvað segir ritningin: "Abraham trúði Guði, og það var reiknað honum til réttlætis."
4 Þeim sem vinnur verða launin ekki reiknuð af náð, heldur eftir verðleika.
5 Hinum aftur á móti, sem ekki vinnur, en trúir á hann sem réttlætir óguðlegan, er trú hans reiknuð til réttlætis.
6 Eins og líka Davíð lýsir þann mann sælan, sem Guð tilreiknar réttlæti án tillits til verka:
7 Sælir eru þeir, sem afbrotin eru fyrirgefin og syndir þeirra huldar.
8 Sæll er sá maður, sem Drottinn tilreiknar ekki synd.
9 Nær þá sæluboðun þessi aðeins til umskorinna manna? Eða líka til óumskorinna? Vér segjum: "Trúin var Abraham til réttlætis reiknuð."
10 Hvernig var hún þá tilreiknuð honum? Umskornum eða óumskornum? Hann var ekki umskorinn, heldur óumskorinn.
11 Og hann fékk tákn umskurnarinnar sem staðfestingu þess réttlætis af trú, sem hann átti óumskorinn. Þannig skyldi hann vera faðir allra þeirra, sem trúa óumskornir, til þess að réttlætið tilreiknist þeim,
12 og eins faðir þeirra umskornu manna, sem eru ekki aðeins umskornir heldur feta veg þeirrar trúar, er faðir vor Abraham hafði óumskorinn.
13 Ekki var Abraham eða niðjum hans fyrir lögmál gefið fyrirheitið, að hann skyldi verða erfingi heimsins, heldur fyrir trúar-réttlæti.
14 Ef lögmálsmennirnir eru erfingjar, er trúin ónýtt og fyrirheitið að engu gjört.
15 Því að lögmálið vekur reiði. En þar sem ekki er lögmál, þar eru ekki heldur lögmálsbrot.
16 Því er fyrirheitið byggt á trú, til þess að það sé af náð, og megi stöðugt standa fyrir alla niðja hans, ekki fyrir þá eina, sem hafa lögmálið, heldur og fyrir þá, sem eiga trú Abrahams. Hann er faðir vor allra,
17 eins og skrifað stendur: "Föður margra þjóða hef ég sett þig." Og það er hann frammi fyrir Guði, sem hann trúði á, honum sem lífgar dauða og kallar fram það, sem ekki er til eins og það væri til.
18 Abraham trúði með von, gegn von, að hann skyldi verða faðir margra þjóða, samkvæmt því sem sagt hafði verið: "Svo skal afkvæmi þitt verða."
19 Og ekki veiklaðist hann í trúnni þótt hann minntist þess, að hann var kominn að fótum fram _ hann var nálega tíræður, _ og að Sara gat ekki orðið barnshafandi sakir elli.
20 Um fyrirheit Guðs efaðist hann ekki með vantrú, heldur gjörðist styrkur í trúnni. Hann gaf Guði dýrðina,
21 og var þess fullviss, að hann er máttugur að efna það, sem hann hefur lofað.
22 "Fyrir því var það honum og til réttlætis reiknað."
23 En að það var honum tilreiknað, það var ekki ritað hans vegna einungis,
24 heldur líka vor vegna. Oss mun það tilreiknað verða, sem trúum á hann, sem uppvakti Jesú, Drottin vorn, frá dauðum,
25 hann sem var framseldur vegna misgjörða vorra og vegna réttlætingar vorrar uppvakinn.

Abraham Justified by Faith
4 What then shall we say(A) that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh,(B) discovered in this matter? 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God.(C) 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”[a](D)
4 Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift(E) but as an obligation. 5 However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness.(F) 6 David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
7 “Blessed are those
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord will never count against them.”[b](G)
9 Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised?(H) We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.(I) 10 Under what circumstances was it credited? Was it after he was circumcised, or before? It was not after, but before! 11 And he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised.(J) So then, he is the father(K) of all who believe(L) but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them. 12 And he is then also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
13 It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise(M) that he would be heir of the world,(N) but through the righteousness that comes by faith.(O) 14 For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless,(P) 15 because the law brings wrath.(Q) And where there is no law there is no transgression.(R)
16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace(S) and may be guaranteed(T) to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law but also to those who have the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.(U) 17 As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.”[c](V) He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life(W) to the dead and calls(X) into being things that were not.(Y)
18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations,(Z) just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”[d](AA) 19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead(AB)—since he was about a hundred years old(AC)—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead.(AD) 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened(AE) in his faith and gave glory to God,(AF) 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.(AG) 22 This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”(AH) 23 The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, 24 but also for us,(AI) to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him(AJ) who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.(AK) 25 He was delivered over to death for our sins(AL) and was raised to life for our justification.(AM)
