1 Šta ćemo dakle reći za Avraama, oca svog, da je po telu našao?
1 What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
2 Jer ako se Avraam delima opravda, ima hvalu, ali ne u Boga.
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.
3 Jer šta govori pismo? Verova Avraam Bogu, i primi mu se u pravdu.
3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
4 A onome koji radi ne broji se plata po milosti nego po dugu.
4 Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.
5 A onome koji ne radi, a veruje Onog koji pravda bezbožnika, prima se vera njegova u pravdu.
5 But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.
6 Kao što i David govori da je blago čoveku kome Bog prima pravdu bez dela zakona:
6 Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
7 Blago onima koji se oprostiše bezakonja, i kojima se gresi prikriše.
7 “Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
8 Blago čoveku kome Gospod ne prima greha.
8 Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.”
9 Ovo, dakle, blaženstvo ili je u obrezanju ili u neobrezanju? Jer govorimo da se Avraamu primi vera u pravdu.
9 Is this blessing then pronounced only on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
10 Kako mu se, dakle, primi? Ili kad je bio u obrezanju ili neobrezanju? Ne u obrezanju nego u neobrezanju.
10 How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 I primi znak obrezanja kao pečat pravde vere koju imaše u neobrezanju, da bi bio otac svih koji veruju u neobrezanju; da se i njima primi u pravdu;
11 He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.
12 i da bi bio otac obrezanja ne samo onima koji su od obrezanja, nego i onima koji hode stopama vere koja beše u neobrezanju oca našeg Avraama.
12 He is the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had in uncircumcision.
13 Jer obećanje Avraamu ili semenu njegovom da bude naslednik svetu ne bi zakonom nego pravdom vere.
13 For the promise to Abraham and to his offspring that he would be heir of the world wasn’t through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
14 Jer ako su naslednici oni koji su od zakona, propade vera, i pokvari se obećanje.
14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.
15 Jer zakon gradi gnev; jer gde nema zakona nema ni prestupa.
15 For the law produces wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.
16 Zato od vere da bude po milosti da obećanje tvrdo ostane svemu semenu, ne samo koji je od zakona nego i koji je od vere Avraama, koji je otac svima nama,
16 For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, to the end that the promise may be sure to all the offspring, 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 (kao što stoji napisano: Postavih te oca mnogim narodima) pred Bogom kome verova, koji oživljuje mrtve, i zove ono što nije kao ono što jeste:
17 As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were.
18 On verova na nadu kad se nije bilo ničemu nadati da će on biti otac mnogim narodima, kao što mu beše rečeno: Tako će biti seme tvoje.
18 Against hope, Abraham in hope believed, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, “So will your offspring be.”
19 I ne oslabivši verom ne pogleda ni na svoje već umoreno telo, jer mu beše negde oko sto godina, ni na mrtvost Sarine materice.
19 Without being weakened in faith, he didn’t consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.
20 I za obećanje Božije ne posumnja se neverovanjem, nego ojača u veri, i dade slavu Bogu.
20 Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,
21 I znaše jamačno da šta obeća kadar je i da učini.
21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.
22 Zato se i primi njemu u pravdu.
22 Therefore it also was “credited to him for righteousness.”
23 Ali nije pisano za njega jednog samo da mu se primi,
23 Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone,
24 nego i za nas, kojima će se primiti ako verujemo Onog koji vaskrse Isusa Hrista Gospoda našeg iz mrtvih,
24 but for our sake also, to whom it will be accounted, who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,
25 koji se predade za grehe naše, i ustade za opravdanje naše.
25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
He had said (5 mss. eipen), that the world had become guilty before God, and that all had sinned, and that boasting was excluded, and that it was impossible to be saved otherwise than by faith.

And Abram believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness." On account of his faith and hospitality, a son was given him in his old age; and in the exercise of obedience, he offered him as a sacrifice to God on one of the mountains which He showed him.
"Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness." In the first place, [he believed] that He was the maker of heaven and earth, the only God; and in the next place, that He would make his seed as the stars of heaven.
Here, indeed, is set down that sentence which the apostle quotes in order to commend the grace of God, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness;" lest the circumcision should glory, and be unwilling to receive the uncircumcised nations to the faith of Christ.

God promises the old man a child, and Abraham without being weakened in faith, though he considered his own body now as good as dead, heeded not the weakness of his body, but the power of Him who promised, because he counted Him faithful who had promised, and so beyond all expectation gained the child from bodies as it …
