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 being absolutely certain that whatever promise He is bound by He is able also to make good.

22 For this reason also his faith was placed to his credit as righteousness.

23 Nor was the fact of its being placed to his credit put on record for his sake only;

24 it was for our sakes too. Faith, before long, will be placed to the credit of us also who are believers in Him who raised Jesus, our Lord, from the dead,

25 who was surrendered to death because of the offences we had committed, and was raised to life because of the acquittal secured for us.
