— Romans 4:2, World English Bible
“For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.”
“For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward God. ”
“For if Abraham was declared righteous by works, he has something to boast about– but not before God.”
“For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory, but not before God.”
“For if Abraham got righteousness by works, he has reason for pride; but not before God.”
“For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.”
What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?
For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.
For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."
Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.
But to him who doesn't work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.
