WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Шта ћемо дакле рећи за Авраама, оца свог, да је по телу нашао?
1 ¿QUÉ, pues, diremos que halló Abraham nuestro padre según la carne?
1 What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
2 Јер ако се Авраам делима оправда, има хвалу, али не у Бога.
2 Que si Abraham fué justificado por la obras, tiene de qué gloriarse; mas no para con Dios.
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.
3 Јер шта говори писмо? Верова Авраам Богу, и прими му се у правду.
3 Porque ¿qué dice la Escritura? Y creyó Abraham á Dios, y le fué atribuído á justicia.
3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
4 А ономе који ради не броји се плата по милости него по дугу.
4 Empero al que obra, no se le cuenta el salario por merced, sino por deuda.
4 Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.
5 А ономе који не ради, а верује Оног који правда безбожника, прима се вера његова у правду.
5 Mas al que no obra, pero cree en aquél que justifica al impío, la fe le es contada por justicia.
5 But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.
6 Као што и Давид говори да је благо човеку коме Бог прима правду без дела закона:
6 Como también David dice ser bienaventurado el hombre al cual Dios atribuye justicia sin obras,
6 Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
7 Благо онима који се опростише безакоња, и којима се греси прикрише.
7 [Diciendo]: Bienaventurados aquellos cuyas iniquidades son perdonadas, y cuyos pecados son cubiertos.
7 “Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
8 Благо човеку коме Господ не прима греха.
8 Bienaventurado el varón al cual el Señor no imputó pecado.
8 Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.”
9 Ово, дакле, блаженство или је у обрезању или у необрезању? Јер говоримо да се Аврааму прими вера у правду.
9 ¿Es pues esta bienaventuranza [solamente] en la circuncisión, ó también en la incircuncisión? porque decimos que á Abraham fué contada la fe por justicia.
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 Како му се, дакле, прими? Или кад је био у обрезању или необрезању? Не у обрезању него у необрезању.
10 ¿Cómo pues [le] fué contada? ¿en la circuncisión, ó en la incircuncisión? No en la circuncisión, sino en la incircuncisión.
10 How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 И прими знак обрезања као печат правде вере коју имаше у необрезању, да би био отац свих који верују у необрезању; да се и њима прими у правду;
11 Y recibió la circuncisión por señal, por sello de la justicia de la fe que tuvo en la incircuncisión: para que fuese padre de todos los creyentes no circuncidados, para que también á ellos les sea contado por justicia;
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 и да би био отац обрезања не само онима који су од обрезања, него и онима који ходе стопама вере која беше у необрезању оца нашег Авраама.
12 Y padre de la circuncisión, no solamente á los que son de la circuncisión, mas también á los que siguen las pisadas de la fe que fué en nuestro padre Abraham antes de ser circuncidado.
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 Јер обећање Аврааму или семену његовом да буде наследник свету не би законом него правдом вере.
13 Porque no por la ley fué [dada] la promesa á Abraham ó á su simiente, que sería heredero del mundo, sino por la justicia de la fe.
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 Јер ако су наследници они који су од закона, пропаде вера, и поквари се обећање.
14 Porque si los que son de la ley son los herederos, vana es la fe, y anulada es la promesa.
14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of no effect.
15 Јер закон гради гнев; јер где нема закона нема ни преступа.
15 Porque la ley obra ira; porque donde no hay ley, tampoco hay transgresión.
15 For the law produces wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.
16 Зато од вере да буде по милости да обећање тврдо остане свему семену, не само који је од закона него и који је од вере Авраама, који је отац свима нама,
16 Por tanto [es] por la fe, para que [sea] por gracia; para que la promesa sea firme á toda simiente, no solamente al que es de la ley, mas también al que es de la fe de Abraham, el cual es padre de todos nosotros,
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 (као што стоји написано: Поставих те оца многим народима) пред Богом коме верова, који оживљује мртве, и зове оно што није као оно што јесте:
17 (Como está escrito: Que por padre de muchas gentes te he puesto) delante de Dios, al cual creyó; el cual da vida á los muertos, y llama las cosas que no son, como las que son.
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 Он верова на наду кад се није било ничему надати да ће он бити отац многим народима, као што му беше речено: Тако ће бити семе твоје.
18 El creyó en esperanza contra esperanza, para venir á ser padre de muchas gentes, conforme á lo que [le] había sido dicho: Así será tu simiente.
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 И не ослабивши вером не погледа ни на своје већ уморено тело, јер му беше негде око сто година, ни на мртвост Сарине материце.
19 Y no se enflaqueció en la fe, ni consideró su cuerpo ya muerto (siendo ya de casi cien años), ni la matriz muerta de Sara;
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 И за обећање Божије не посумња се неверовањем, него ојача у вери, и даде славу Богу.
20 Tampoco en la promesa de Dios dudó con desconfianza: antes fué esforzado en fe, dando gloria á Dios,
20 Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God,
21 И знаше јамачно да шта обећа кадар је и да учини.
21 Plenamente convencido de que todo lo que había prometido, era también poderoso para hacerlo.
21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.
22 Зато се и прими њему у правду.
22 Por lo cual también le fué atribuído á justicia.
22 Therefore it also was “credited to him for righteousness.”
23 Али није писано за њега једног само да му се прими,
23 Y no solamente por él fué escrito que le haya sido imputado;
23 Now it was not written that it was accounted to him for his sake alone,
24 него и за нас, којима ће се примити ако верујемо Оног који васкрсе Исуса Христа Господа нашег из мртвих,
24 Sino también por nosotros, á quienes será imputado, [esto es], á los que creemos en el que levantó de los muertos á Jesús Señor nuestro,
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 који се предаде за грехе наше, и устаде за оправдање наше.
25 El cual fué entregado por nuestros delitos, y resucitado para nuestra justificación.
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 …
