1 What then shall we say Abraham our father to have found, according to the flesh? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has boasting; but not toward God. 3 For what says the writing? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for justice. 4 And to him working, the reward is not reckoned according to favor, but according to debt. 5 And to him not working, and believing upon him justifying the impious, his faith is reckoned for justice. 6 As also David speaks the happiness of the man, to whom God reckons justice without works, 7 Happy they whose iniquities were remitted, and whose sins were covered. 8 A happy man to whom the Lord should not reckon sin.
