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 and was absolutely confident that God would do what he promised.

22 That is why his faith was regarded as God's approval of him.

23 But the words "his faith was regarded as God's approval of him" were written not only for him

24 but also for us. Our faith will be regarded as God's approval of us who believe in the one who brought Jesus, our Lord, back to life.

25 Jesus, our Lord, was handed over to death because of our failures and was brought back to life so that we could receive God's approval.
