NASB
"Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due."
— Romans 4:4, NASB
“Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.”
“Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt. ”
“Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.”
“Now to the one who works, his pay is not credited due to grace but due to obligation.”
“Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace but according to debt.”
“Now, the reward is credited to him who does works, not as of grace but as a debt.”
“Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.”
What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found?
For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.
For what does the Scripture say? "ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS."
Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due.
But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness,
just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
"BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE LAWLESS DEEDS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN, AND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED.
