Roma 4:4-6

4:4 Now to the one who works, his pay is not credited due to grace but due to obligation. ¹  4:5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous, ²  his faith is credited as righteousness.

4:6 So even David himself speaks regarding the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

Roma 4:9-10

4:9 Is this blessedness ³  then for ⁴  the circumcision ⁵  or also for ⁶  the uncircumcision? For we say, “faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness.” ⁷  4:10 How then was it credited to him? Was he circumcised at the time, or not? No, he was not circumcised but uncircumcised!

Roma 4:22-24

4:22 So indeed it was credited to Abraham ⁸  as righteousness.

4:23 But the statement it was credited to him ⁹  was not written only for Abraham’s ¹⁰  sake, 4:24 but also for our sake, to whom it will be credited, those who believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
