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 also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness-for us who believe in him who raised 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 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 also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead,
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.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Romans 4:24
Commentary on Romans 4:23-25
(Read Romans 4:23-25)
The history of Abraham, and of his justification, was recorded to teach men of after-ages; those especially to whom the gospel was then made known. It is plain, that we are not justified by the merit of our own works, but by faith in Jesus Christ and his righteousness; which is the truth urged in this and the foregoing chapter, as the great spring and foundation of all comfort. Christ did meritoriously work our justification and salvation by his death and passion, but the power and perfection thereof, with respect to us, depend on his resurrection. By his death he paid our debt, in his resurrection he received our acquittance, Isaiah 53:8. When he was discharged, we, in Him and together with Him, received the discharge from the guilt and punishment of all our sins. This last verse is an abridgement or summary of the whole gospel.
