Romans 4:5-8
Wycliffe Bible
5 Soothly to him that worketh not, but believeth into him that justifieth a wicked man, his faith is areckoned to rightwiseness[a], after the purpose of God's grace.
6 As David saith the blessedness of a man, whom God accepteth, he giveth to him rightwiseness without works of the law, [As and David saith the blessedness of a man, to whom God accepteth, rightwiseness without works,]
7 Blessed be they, whose wickednesses be forgiven, and whose sins be hid [and whose sins be covered, or hid].
8 Blessed is that man, to whom God areckoned [reckoned] not sin.

New Matthew Bible
5 To him who does not work, but believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 6 It is just as David describes the blessedfulness of the person to whom God ascribes righteousness apart from deeds: 7 Blessed are those whose unrighteousnesses are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; 8 blessed is that man to whom the Lord does not impute sin.
