Romans 4:1-5

1What can we say that we have discovered about our ancestor Abraham?

2If Abraham had God’s approval because of something he did, he would have had a reason to brag. But he could not brag to God about it.

3What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and that faith was regarded as the basis of Abraham’s approval by God.”

4When people work, their pay is not regarded as a gift but something they have earned.

5However, when people don’t work but believe God, the one who approves ungodly people, their faith is regarded as the basis of God’s approval.
