Romans 4:24 in Other Translations

24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

24 but for ours also. It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord,

24 for our benefit, too, assuring us that God will also count us as righteous if we believe in him, the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

24 it's also us! The same thing gets said about us when we embrace and believe the One who brought Jesus to life when the conditions were equally hopeless.

24 but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead,

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.

24 but also for us. It will be credited to us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

24 They were written also for us. We believe in the God who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. So God will accept our faith and make us right with himself.

Romans 4:24 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 4:24

But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed
What was written in the books of the Old Testament, was not written merely on account of them who are the subjects thereof, but for the use, learning, instruction and profit of saints under the New Testament dispensation; and particularly this concerning the pulsation of Abraham's faith for righteousness, or of the imputation of the righteousness of faith unto him for justification; which was not Abraham's faith, but that "righteousness" which his faith looked to, and laid hold on: see ( Romans 4:12 ) ; for Abraham's faith itself could never be reckoned for righteousness to another, nor indeed was it to himself; but such as believe as Abraham did, they have the same righteousness imputed to them as he had; and truly of the same kind is the faith of Abraham, who believed in "God that quickeneth the dead", ( Romans 4:17 ) ; and that of ours:

if,
or "seeing"

we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
which descriptive of the faith of New Testament believers, and of the object of it; see ( Romans 10:9 Romans 10:10 ) ; and which object of faith is further described in ( Romans 4:25 ) .

Romans 4:24 In-Context

22 This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”

23 The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone,

24 but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

25 He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.
