Romans 4:1-8 ▼

1 What shal we say then, that Abraham our father hath found concerning the flesh?

2 For if Abraham were iustified by workes, he hath wherein to reioyce, but not with God.

3 For what saith the Scripture? Abraham beleeued God, and it was counted to him for righteousnesse.

4 Nowe to him that worketh, the wages is not counted by fauour, but by dette:

5 But to him that worketh not, but beleeueth in him that iustifieth the vngodly, his faith is counted for righteousnesse.

6 Euen as Dauid declareth the blessednesse of the man, vnto whom God imputeth righteousnes without workes, saying,

7 Blessed are they, whose iniquities are forgiuen, and whose sinnes are couered.

8 Blessed is the man, to whom the Lord imputeth not sinne.
