Romans 4:7

Read in context

Romans 4:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

8 Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.”

9 Is this blessing only on the circumcised, or also on the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.
