Romans 4:2-5 But if Abraham was justified by works, he had ground of glorying; yet not before God.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ² But if Abraham was justified by works, he had ground of glorying; yet not before God. ³ For what saith the scripture? That Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. ⁴ But to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as a debt to him. ⁵ Whereas, to him that worketh not, but only believeth in him that justifieth sinners, his faith is accounted to him for righteousness.
