²⁸ Therefore we conclude ^(A)that a man is ^[a]justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law.

⁴ Now ^(A)to him who works, the wages are not counted ^[a]as grace but as debt.

David Celebrates the Same Truth

⁵ But to him who ^(B)does not work but believes on Him who justifies ^(C)the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, ⁶ just as David also ^(D)describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:

5 Therefore, ^(A)having been justified by faith, ^[a]we have ^(B)peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁹ Much more then, having now been justified ^(A)by His blood, we shall be saved ^(B)from wrath through Him.

¹¹ And not only that, but we also ^(A)rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

³⁰ Moreover whom He predestined, these He also ^(A)called; whom He called, these He also ^(B)justified; and whom He justified, these He also ^(C)glorified.
