1 What shall we say then that Abraham hath found, who is our father according to the flesh?
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory, but not before God.
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God: and it was reputed to him unto justice.
4 Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace but according to debt.
5 But to him that worketh not, yet believeth in him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reputed to justice, according to the purpose of the grace of God.
