Romans 4:2-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
2
For if Abraham was justified by works, he has 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 to the one who works, the wages are not credited as a favor, but as what is due.
5
But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness,
6
just as David also speaks of the blessing of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
7
'BLESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE LAWLESS DEEDS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN,
AND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED.
8
BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE
Lord
WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT.'
9
Is this blessing then on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say, 'FAITH WAS CREDITED TO ABRAHAM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.'
King James Version
Chapter 4
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 counted unto him for righteousness.
4
Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5
But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7
Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9
Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 4
2
If Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about—but not before God.
3
For what does the Scripture say?
Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him for righteousness.
4
Now to the one who works, pay is not credited as a gift, but as something owed.
5
But to the one who does not work, but believes on him who declares the ungodly to be righteous, his faith is credited for righteousness.
6
Just as David also speaks of the blessing of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
7
Blessed are those whose lawless acts are forgiven
and whose sins are covered.
8
Blessed is the person
the Lord will never charge with sin.
9
Is this blessing only for the circumcised, then? Or is it also for the uncircumcised? For we say,
Faith was credited to Abraham for righteousness.
New Living Translation
Chapter 4
2
If his good deeds had made him acceptable to God, he would have had something to boast about. But that was not God’s way.
3
For the Scriptures tell us, 'Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.'
4
When people work, their wages are not a gift, but something they have earned.
5
But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners.
6
David also spoke of this when he described the happiness of those who are declared righteous without working for it:
7
'Oh, what joy for those
whose disobedience is forgiven,
whose sins are put out of sight.
8
Yes, what joy for those
whose record the
Lord
has cleared of sin.'
9
Now, is this blessing only for the Jews, or is it also for uncircumcised Gentiles? Well, we have been saying that Abraham was counted as righteous by God because of his faith.

3
For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness."
4
Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due.
5
And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness,
6
just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
7
"Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
and whose sins are covered;
8
blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin."
9
Is this blessing then only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness.
New International Version
Chapter 4
2
If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God.
3
What does Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."
4
Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation.
5
However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness.
6
David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
7
"Blessed are those
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
8
Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord will never count against them."
9
Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.
New King James Version
Chapter 4
2
For if Abraham was justified by works, he has
something
to boast about, but not before God.
3
For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
4
Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt.
5
But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,
6
just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:
7
“Blessed
are those
whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
And whose sins are covered;
8
Blessed
is the
man to whom the
Lord
shall not impute sin.”
9
Does
this blessedness then
come
upon the circumcised
only,
or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.
