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.

21 and being fully convinced that what he had promised, he was also able to do.

22 Therefore it was credited to him for righteousness.

23 But it was not written for the sake of him alone that it was credited to him,

24 but also for the sake of us to whom it is going to be credited, to those who believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

25 who was handed over on account of our trespasses, and was raised up in the interest of our justification.
