Romans 4:1-8 ▼

1 What, then, will we say Abraham our father to have found, according to flesh?

2 For if Abraham was declared righteous by works, he has to boast—but not before God;

3 for what does the writing say? “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness”;

4 and to him who is working, the reward is not reckoned of grace, but of debt;

5 and to him who is not working, and is believing on Him who is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned for righteousness—

6 even as David also speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works:

7 “Blessed [are] they whose lawless acts were forgiven, || And whose sins were covered;

8 Blessed [is] the man || To whom the LORD may not reckon sin.”
