Romans 4:3-8

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

4Now to the one who works, the pay is not credited as a gift, but as what is due.

5But to the one who does not work, but trusts in Him who justifies the ungodly, his trust is credited as righteousness—

6just 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 are forgiven and whose sins are covered.

8Blessed is the man whose sin Adonai will never count against him.”
