Romans 4:5

---

← Romans 4:4	Romans 4:5 (KJV)	Romans 4:6 →
Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.	But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.	Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
