3For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
4Now the wages of the worker are not credited as a gift, but as an obligation.
5However, to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.
6And David speaks likewise of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
