3For whatG5101 does the ScriptureG1124 sayG3004? “4AbrahamG11 believedG4100 GodG2316, and it was creditedG3049 to him as righteousnessG1343.”

4NowG1161 to the one who 5worksG2038, the wagesG3408 are not creditedG3049 as a favorG5485, but as whatG3783 isG3783 dueG3783.

5But to the one who does not workG2038, but 6believesG4100 in Him who justifiesG1344 the ungodlyG765, his faithG4102 is creditedG3049 as righteousnessG1343,
