2 For if Aḇraham was declared right by works, he has ground for boasting, but not before Elohim.
3 For what does the Scripture say? “Aḇraham believed Elohim, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.”
4 And to him who is working, the reward is not reckoned as a favour but as a debt.
5 And to him who is not working but believes on Him who is declaring right the wicked, his belief is reckoned for righteousness,
6 even as Dawiḏ also says of the blessedness of the man to whom Elohim reckons righteousness without works:
7 “Blessed are those whose lawlessnesses are forgiven, and whose sins are covered,
8 blessed is the man to whom יהוה shall by no means reckon sin.”
