Romans 4:1-5

¹What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, has discovered?

²If Abraham was indeed justified by works, he had something to boast about, but not before God.

³For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”

⁴Now the wages of the worker are not credited as a gift, but as an obligation.

⁵However, to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.
