In context
1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, has discovered?
2 If Abraham was indeed justified by works, he had something to boast about, but not before God.
3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
4 Now the wages of the worker are not credited as a gift, but as an obligation.
5 However, to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.
6 And David speaks likewise of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
7 “Blessed are they whose lawless acts are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
