Romans 4:5-9
New International Version
5 However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness.(A) 6 David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
7 “Blessed are those
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord will never count against them.”[a](B)
9 Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised?(C) We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.(D)

Romans 4:5-9
King James Version
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
