4 But when the (A)kindness of (B)God our Savior and His love for mankind (C)appeared, 5 (D)He saved us, (E)not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but (F)according to His mercy, by the (G)washing of regeneration and (H)renewing by the Holy Spirit, 6 (I)whom He poured out upon us (J)richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that being justified by His grace we would be made (K)heirs [a]according to the hope of eternal life.

Justification by Faith Evidenced in Old Testament
4 What then shall we say that Abraham, [a]our forefather (A)according to the flesh, has found? 2 For if Abraham was justified [b]by works, he has something to boast about, but (B)not [c]before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? “(C)Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 4 Now to the one who (D)works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. 5 But to the one who does not work, but (E)believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness, 6 just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

(E)“Abraham believed God, and it was [b]accounted to him for righteousness.” 4 Now (F)to him who works, the wages are not counted [c]as grace but as debt.
David Celebrates the Same Truth
5 But to him who (G)does not work but believes on Him who justifies (H)the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, 6 just as David also (I)describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:
