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 witting most fully that whatever things God hath promised, he is mighty also to do.

22 Therefore it was areckoned [reckoned] to him to rightwiseness.

23 And it is not written only for him, that it was areckoned [reckoned] to him to rightwiseness,

24 but also for us, to whom it shall be areckoned [reckoned], that believe in him that raised our Lord Jesus Christ from death [from dead].

25 Which was betaken for our sins, and rose again for our justifying.
