Romans 4:4-8 But to him who works, wages are not considered as a favor but as that which is due to him.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ But to him who works, wages are not considered as a favor but as that which is due to him. ⁵ And to him who works not, but only believes in him who justifies sinners, his faith is counted for righteousness. ⁶ Just as David also said about the blessedness of the man, whom God declared righteous without works, ⁷ Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are wiped away. ⁸ Blessed is the man whose sins God will not hold against him.
