4. Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.
5. But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.
6. Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,
7. “Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven,whose sins are covered.
8. Blessed is the man whom the Lord will by no means charge with sin.”
9. Is this blessing then pronounced on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
