Romans 4:23 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 4:23

Now it was not written for his sake alone
This was not left on the sacred records, ( Genesis 15:6 ) ,

that it was imputed to him;
purely on his account, merely for his sake, as an encomium of his faith, and an honourable testimony to it, and for the encouragement of it; though this was doing him a very great honour, and was one design of it.

Romans 4:23 In-Context

21 for he was fully convinced that what God had promised he could also accomplish.

22 This is why it was credited to his account as righteousness.

23 But the words, "it was credited to his account . . . ," were not written for him only.

24 They were written also for us, who will certainly have our account credited too, because we have trusted in him who raised Yeshua our Lord from the dead -

25 Yeshua, who was delivered over to death because of our offences and raised to life in order to make us righteous.
