Romans 4:3–12
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
For what saith the Scripture? Abraham beleeued God, and it was counted vnto him for righteousnes.
Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
Now to him that worketh, is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
But to him that worketh not, but beleeueth on him that iustifieth the vngodly; his faith is counted for righteousnesse.
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
Euen as Dauid also describeth the blessednesse of the man, vnto whom God imputeth righteousnesse without works:
Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiuen, and whose sinnes are couered.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
Blessed is the man to whome the Lord will not impute sinne.
Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
Commeth this blessednes then vpon the circumcision onely, or vpon the vncircumcision also? for wee say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousnesse.
How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in vncircumcision? not in circumcision, but in vncircumcision.
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:
And hee receiued the signe of circumcision, a seale of the righteousnesse of the faith, which hee had yet being vncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that beleeue, though they be not circumcised; that righteousnesse might be imputed vnto them also:
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.
And the father of circumcision, to them who are not of the circumcision onely, but also walke in the steppes of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet vncircumcised.

1FOR the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
2And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
4And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
5Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
6And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
7They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.
8So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
9And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
10But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
11And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,
12Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
13But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
14Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
15Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
16So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
1¶ For the kingdome of heauen is like vnto a man that is an housholder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

4And said vnto them, Go ye also into the vineyard, & whatsoeuer is right, I wil giue you. And they went their way.
5Againe he went out about the sixth and ninth houre, and did likewise.
6And about the eleuenth houre, he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith vnto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
7They say vnto him, Because no man hath hired vs. He saith vnto them, Go ye also into the vineyard: and whatsoeuer is right, that shall ye receiue.
8So when euen was come, the lord of the vineyard saith vnto his Steward, Call the labourers, and giue them their hire, beginning from the last, vnto the first.
9And when they came that were hired about the eleuenth houre, they receiued euery man a penie.
10But when the first came, they supposed that they should haue receiued more, and they likewise receiued euery man a penie.
11And when they had receiued it, they murmured against the good man of the house,
12Saying, These last ‖haue wrought but one houre, and thou hast made them equall vnto vs, which haue borne the burden, and heat of the day.
13But he answered one of them and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penie?
14Take that thine is, and goe thy way, I will giue vnto this last, euen as vnto thee.
15Is it not lawfull for mee to doe what I wil with mine owne? Is thine eye euill, because I am good?

22For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.

24Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
25For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
28Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
