Romans 4:1-8 ▼

1 Then what shall we say that Abraham, our father according to the flesh, has found?

2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he has glorification; but not before God.

3 For what does the scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness.

4 But to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt;

5 but to him that worketh not, but believeth on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.

6 Indeed David also speaks of the blessedness of the man, to whom God imputes righteousness without works,

7 Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered;

8 blessed is the man of whom the Lord may not impute sin.
