Romans 4:4-8 Now to the worker, the wage is not reckoned as a favor, but as a debt."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Now to the worker, the wage is not reckoned as a favor, but as a debt." ⁵ Yet to him who is not working, yet is believing on Him Who is justifying the irreverent, his faith is reckoned for righteousness." ⁶ Even as David also is telling of the happiness of the man to whom God is reckoning righteousness apart from acts: ⁷ Happy they whose lawlessnesses were pardoned and whose sins were covered over! ⁸ Happy the man to whom the Lord by no means should be reckoning sin!
