Romans 4:1-8

ACV(i) 1 What then will we say Abraham, our father according to flesh, to have found? 2 For if Abraham was made righteous from works, he has a boast, but not before God. 3 For what does the scripture say? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness. 4 Now to the man being employed, the wage is not reckoned according to grace, but according to obligation. 5 But to the man not being employed, but who believes in him who makes the impious man righteous, his faith is reckoned for righteousness. 6 Just as David also tells the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness independent of works, 7 saying, Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is a man to whom the Lord does, no, not impute sin.
