But to the one who does not work, but (A)believes upon Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:

(B)Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven,
And whose sins have been covered.
(C)Blessed is the man whose sin the [a]Lord will not (D)take into account.”

Footnotes

  1. Romans 4:8 In OT, Yahweh, cf. Ps 32:2

But faith is credited as righteousness to those who don’t work, because they have faith in God who makes the ungodly righteous. In the same way, David also pronounces a blessing on the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from actions:

Happy are those whose actions outside the Law are forgiven,
        and whose sins are covered.
Happy are those whose sin isn’t counted against them by the Lord.[a]
