1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our ancestor according to the flesh, has found?
2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.
3 For what does the scripture say? “And Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness.”
4 Now to the one who works, his pay is not credited according to grace, but according to his due.
5 But to the one who does not work, but who believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited for righteousness,
