Romans 4:7 Context
5But to him that worketh not, but beleeueth on him that iustifieth the vngodly; his faith is counted for righteousnesse. 6Euen as Dauid also describeth the blessednesse of the man, vnto whom God imputeth righteousnesse without works: 7Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiuen, and whose sinnes are couered. 8Blessed is the man to whome the Lord will not impute sinne. 9Commeth this blessednes then vpon the circumcision onely, or vpon the vncircumcision also? for wee say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousnesse.
