Romans 4 : 1 - 8
Chapter 4
| 1 | What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?
|
| 2 | For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.
|
| 3 | For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."
|
| 4 | Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt.
|
| 5 | But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,
|
| 6 | just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:
|
| 7 | "Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, And whose sins are covered;
|
| 8 | Blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall not impute sin."
|
The grace of God the Father be with you all.
Amen.
