3 For what does the scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4 But unto him that works, the reward is not reckoned as grace, but as debt.
5 But to him that does not work, but believes in him that justifies the ungodly, the faith is counted as righteousness.
6 Even as David also describes the blessedness of the man unto whom God doth attribute righteousness without works,
7 saying, Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute sin.
9 Is this blessedness, therefore, only upon the circumcision or also upon the uncircumcision? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.
