5 Well then, does God[a] supply you with the Spirit and work miracles among you by your doing the works of the law or by your believing what you heard?
6 Just as Abraham “believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness,”(A) 7 so, you see, those who believe are the descendants of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would reckon as righteous the gentiles by faith, declared the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “All the gentiles shall be blessed in you.”(B) 9 For this reason, those who believe are blessed with Abraham who believed.

Romans 8:9-16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 But you are not in the flesh; you are in the Spirit,[a] since the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.(A) 10 But if Christ is in you, then the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit[b] is life because of righteousness. 11 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus[c] from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through[d] his Spirit that dwells in you.(B)
12 So then, brothers and sisters, we are obligated, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— 13 for if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.(C) 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.(D) 15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, “Abba![e] Father!”(E) 16 it is that very Spirit bearing witness[f] with our spirit that we are children of God,(F)

Romans 4:3-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 For what does the scripture say? “Abraham believed[a] God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.”(A) 4 Now to one who works, wages are not reckoned as a gift but as something due.(B) 5 But to one who does not work but trusts him who justifies the ungodly, such faith is reckoned as righteousness. 6 So also David pronounces a blessing on those to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works:
7 “Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven
and whose sins are covered;(C)
8 blessed is the one against whom the Lord will not reckon sin.”
9 Is this blessing, then, pronounced only on the circumcised or also on the uncircumcised? We say, “Faith was reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.” 10 How then was it reckoned to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after but before he was circumcised. 11 He received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith[b] while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was to make him the ancestor of all who believe[c] without being circumcised and who thus have righteousness reckoned to them,(D) 12 and likewise the ancestor of the circumcised who are not only circumcised but follow the example of the faith that our ancestor Abraham had before he was circumcised.
God’s Promise Realized through Faith
13 For the promise that he would inherit the world did not come to Abraham or to his descendants through the law but through the righteousness of faith.(E) 14 For if it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void. 15 For the law brings wrath, but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.(F)
16 For this reason the promise depends on faith, in order that it may rest on grace, so that it may be guaranteed to all his descendants, not only to the adherents of the law but also to those who share the faith of Abraham (who is the father of all of us,(G) 17 as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”), in the presence of the God in whom he believed,[d] who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.(H)
