Abraham Justified by Faith
1 What then shall we say that aAbraham our bfather has found according to the flesh?
2 For if Abraham was ajustified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.
3 For what does the Scripture say? a“Abraham believed God, and it was1 accounted to him for righteousness.”
4 Now ato him who works, the wages are not counted1 as grace but as debt.
David Celebrates the Same Truth
5 But to him who adoes not work but believes on Him who justifies bthe ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,
6 just as David also adescribes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.”
Abraham Justified Before Circumcision
9 Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
