1 What then shall we say that our father Abraham obtained in regard to the flesh?
2 for if Abraham was justified because of works he hath matter of boasting. But he hath not before God.
3 For what saith the scripture, "And Abraham believed God and it was reckoned to him for righteousness."
4 Now to him who worketh the reward is not reckoned a favour, but a debt.
5 But to him who doth not work, but believeth in him who acquitteth the ungodly, his belief is placed to account for righteousness.
6 As David also saith in respect to the happiness of the man to whose account God placeth righteousness without works,
7 "Happy they whose iniquities are forgiven; And whose sins are covered:
8 Happy the man to whose account the Lord will not charge sin."
