²² even the ^(A)righteousness of God through ^(B)faith ^(C)in Jesus Christ for ^(D)all those ^[a]who believe; for ^(E)there is no distinction;

¹¹ and he ^(A)received the sign of circumcision, ^(B)a seal of the righteousness of the faith which ^[a]he had while uncircumcised, so that he might be ^(C)the father of ^(D)all who believe without being circumcised, that righteousness might be counted to them, ¹² and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also follow in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham which ^[b]he had while uncircumcised.

¹³ For ^(E)the promise to Abraham or to his seed ^(F)that he would be heir of the world was not ^[c]through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith. ¹⁴ For ^(G)if those who are ^[d]of the Law are heirs, faith has been made empty and the promise has been abolished; ¹⁵ for ^(H)the Law brings about wrath, but ^(I)where there is no law, there also is no trespass.

¹⁶ For this reason it is ^[e]by faith, in order that it may be according to ^(J)grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to ^(K)all the seed, not only to ^[f]those who are of the Law, but also to ^[g](L)those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is ^(M)the father of us all— ¹⁷ as it is written, “^(N)A father of many nations have I made you”—in the presence of Him whom he believed, even God, ^(O)who gives life to the dead and ^[h](P)calls into being ^(Q)that which does not exist. ¹⁸ In hope against hope he believed, so that he might become ^(R)a father of many nations according to that which had been spoken, “^(S)So shall your seed be.” ¹⁹ And without becoming weak in faith he contemplated his own body, now ^(T)as good as dead since ^(U)he was about a hundred years old, and ^(V)the deadness of Sarah’s womb; ²⁰ yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, ^(W)giving glory to God, ²¹ and ^(X)being fully assured that ^(Y)what God had promised, He was able also to do. ²² Therefore ^(Z)it was also counted to him as righteousness. ²³ Now ^(AA)not for his sake only was it written that it was counted to him, ²⁴ but for our sake also, to whom it will be counted, as those ^(AB)who believe upon Him who ^(AC)raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, ²⁵ He who was ^(AD)delivered over on account of our transgressions, and was ^(AE)raised on account of our justification.

¹⁶ For this reason it is ^[a]by faith, in order that it may be according to ^(A)grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to ^(B)all the seed, not only to ^[b]those who are of the Law, but also to ^[c](C)those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is ^(D)the father of us all—

⁸ And the Scripture, foreseeing that God ^[a]would justify the ^[b]Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “^(A)All the nations will be blessed in you.”
