3 For what says the Scripture? And Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
4 But to one that works the reward is not accounted by grace but by debt.
5 But to one that works not, but believes on him that justifies the wicked, his faith is [accounted] for righteousness.
6 As David describes the blessedness of the man to whom the Lord accounts righteousness without works,
7 Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven and whose sins are covered;
8 blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not account sin.
9 (3:4) Is this blessedness then on the circumcision? or also on the uncircumcision? [Also on the uncircumcision.] For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
10 How then was it accounted? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 And he received the symbol of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which was in uncircumcision, so that he became the father of all that believe in uncircumcision, that righteousness may also be accounted to them,
12 and a father of circumcision not to those of the circumcision only, but to those also who walk in the steps of the faith of our father Abraham which was in uncircumcision.
13 (3:5) For the promise to Abraham and his posterity that he should inherit the world was not through the law but through the righteousness of faith.
