Romans 4:1-8 ▼

1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, hath found?

2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward God.

3 For what saith the scripture? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.

4 Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt.

5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.

6 Even as David also pronounceth blessing upon the man, unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works,

7 saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, And whose sins are covered.

8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not reckon sin.
