Romans 4:2-9
2For ifG1487 AbrahamG11 was justifiedG1344 1by worksG2041, he hasG2192 somethingG2745 toG2745 boastG2745 aboutG2745; but 2not 3beforeG4314 GodG2316. 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, 6justG2509 asG2509 DavidG1160 alsoG2532 speaksG3004 of the blessingG3108 of the personG444 to whomG3739 GodG2316 creditsG3049 righteousnessG1343 apartG5565 from worksG2041:7“7BlessedG3107 are those whoseG3739 lawlessG458 deedsG458 have been forgivenG863, And whoseG3739 sinsG266 have been coveredG1943.88BlessedG3107 is the manG435 whoseG3739 sinG266 the LordG2962 will not 9takeG3049 intoG3049 accountG3049.”
9Is thisG3778 blessingG3108 thenG3767 on 1011the circumcisedG4061, orG2228 on 12the uncircumcisedG203 alsoG2532? For 13we sayG3004, “14FaithG4102 was creditedG3049 to AbrahamG11 as righteousnessG1343.”
