‏ Romans 4:1

What then shall we say? ( τ ουν ερουμεν? ). Paul is fond of this rhetorical question (4:1; 6:1; 7:7; 8:31; 9:14, 30).

Forefather ( προπατορα ). Old word, only here in N.T. Accusative case in apposition with Αβρααμ (accusative of general reference with the infinitive).

Hath found ( ευρηκενα ). Westcott and Hort put ευρηκενα in the margin because B omits it, a needless precaution. It is the perfect active infinitive of ευρισκω in indirect discourse after ερουμεν. The MSS. differ in the position of κατα σαρκα.
