Romans 4:5-8
Legacy Standard Bible
5 But to the one who does not work, but (A)believes upon Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, 6 just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
7 “(B)Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven,
And whose sins have been covered.
8 (C)Blessed is the man whose sin the [a]Lord will not (D)take into account.”

6 Likewise, David also speaks of the blessing of the man God credits righteousness to apart from works:
7 How joyful are those whose lawless acts are forgiven
and whose sins are covered!

the Lord will never charge with sin!(B)[b]
