Romans 4:5-8 But to the person who believes in God, who makes ungodly people right with Himself apart from doing good deeds, that person’s faith is considered by God as the basis for being righteous.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ But to the person who believes in God, who makes ungodly people right with Himself apart from doing good deeds, that person’s faith is considered by God [as the basis] for being righteous. ⁶ Even King David also spoke of the blessing experienced by the person who was considered righteous by God apart from doing good deeds. ⁷ He said [Psa. 32:1ff], “Those people whose ungodly deeds are forgiven [by God] and whose sins are covered over, are [truly] blessed. ⁸ That person whose sin will not be held against him by the Lord is [truly] blessed.”
