Romans 4:1

Verse 1 of 25. The 4th of 16 chapters in Romans, in The Letters of Paul.

1What then will we say that Abraham, our forefather, has found according to the flesh?

2For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not toward God.

3For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”

4Now to him who works, the reward is not counted as grace, but as something owed.

5But to him who doesn’t work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.
