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: 
7 “Blesseda are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
And whose sins are covered; 
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.
10 How then was it accounted? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised.
11 And ahe received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while still uncircumcised, that bhe might be the father of all those who believe, though they are uncircumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also,  
12 and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of the faith which our father aAbraham had while still uncircumcised.  

The Promise Granted Through Faith

13 For the promise that he would be the aheir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.  
14 For aif those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect,

Romans 4:7

Happy are they whose sins are covered - With the veil of divine mercy. If there be indeed such a thing as happiness on earth, it is the portion of that man whose iniquities are forgiven, and who enjoys the manifestation of that pardon. Well may he endure all the afflictions of life with cheerfulness, and look upon death with comfort. O let us not contend against it, but earnestly pray that this happiness may be ours! Psalms 32:1-2.
