Romans 4 — Context

3

For what does the Scripture say? "ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS."

4

Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due.

5

But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness,

6

just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

7

"BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE LAWLESS DEEDS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN, AND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED.

8

"BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT."

9

Is this blessing then on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say, "FAITH WAS CREDITED TO ABRAHAM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS."
