Romans 4:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 [a]For what saith the Scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness.
4 [b]Now to him that [c]worketh, the wages is not [d]counted by favor, but by debt:
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth in him that [e]justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
