Romans 4:6
Print
even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, saying,
Even as David also pronounceth blessing upon the man, unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works,
And in this same way David speaks of the blessing on the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
Thus David congratulates the man and pronounces a blessing on him to whom God credits righteousness apart from the works he does:
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
Likewise, David also speaks of the blessing of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
In the same way, David also pronounces a blessing on the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from actions:
In the same way, the blessing which David pronounces is on those whom God credits with righteousness apart from legalistic observances:
In the Scriptures David talks about the blessings that come to people who are acceptable to God, even though they don't do anything to deserve these blessings. David says,
Even as David also declares the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness without works:
Just as David also says [in Ps 32:1-2] as to the blessedness of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
As David also termeth the blessedness of a man, to whom God reputeth justice without works:
David said the same thing when he was talking about the blessing people have when God accepts them as good without looking at what they have done:
David also wrote about the same thing. He describes those people that God has accepted as right with himself. God has not accepted them because they have done good things, but as his gift to them. David tells us how happy people like that are.
This is exactly what David says about the blessed state of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
David said the same thing. He said that people are ·truly blessed [happy; spiritually fulfilled] when God, ·without paying attention to their deeds [apart from works], ·makes people right with himself [L credits/counts righteousness to them].
Even as David declareth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, saying,
David says the same thing about those who are blessed: God approves of people without their earning it. David said,
This is what David meant when he spoke of the happiness of the person whom God accepts as righteous, apart from anything that person does:
Likewise, David also speaks of the blessing of the man God credits righteousness to apart from works:
David said the same thing. He said that a person is truly blessed when God does not look at what he has done but accepts him as good:
Likewise, David also speaks of the blessedness of the person whom God regards as righteous apart from actions:
Now if a man works his wages are not counted as a gift but as a fair reward. But if a man, irrespective of his work, has faith as righteousness, then that man’s faith is counted as righteousness, and that is the gift of God. This is the happy state of the man whom God accounts righteous, apart from his achievements, as David expresses it: ‘Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin’.
Even as David also describes the blessedness of the man unto whom God doth attribute righteousness without works,
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:
just as David also speaks about the blessing of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
King David spoke of this, describing the happiness of an undeserving sinner who is declared “not guilty” by God.
David confirms this way of looking at it, saying that the one who trusts God to do the putting-everything-right without insisting on having a say in it is one fortunate man: Fortunate those whose crimes are whisked away, whose sins are wiped clean from the slate. Fortunate the person against whom the Lord does not keep score. Do you think for a minute that this blessing is only pronounced over those of us who keep our religious ways and are circumcised? Or do you think it possible that the blessing could be given to those who never even heard of our ways, who were never brought up in the disciplines of God? We all agree, don’t we, that it was by embracing what God did for him that Abraham was declared fit before God?
Even David describes the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness without works:
So also David speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom · God credits righteousness apart from works:
David says the same thing about those who are blessed: God approves of people without their earning it. David said,
So also David declares the blessedness of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
just as David also speaks of the blessing of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
In the same way, David speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God attributes righteousness apart from works:
David said the same thing. He said that people are truly blessed when God, without paying attention to their deeds, makes people right with himself.
So even David himself speaks regarding the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
King David says the same thing. He tells us how blessed people are when God makes them right with himself. They are blessed because they don’t have to do anything in return. David says,
David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:
David tells of this. He spoke of how happy the man is who puts his trust in God without working to be saved from the punishment of sin.
David also spoke of this when he described the happiness of those who are declared righteous without working for it:
It is just as David describes the blessedfulness of the person to whom God ascribes righteousness apart from deeds:
So also David speaks of the blessedness of those to whom God reckons righteousness irrespective of works:
So also David speaks of the blessedness of those to whom God reckons righteousness irrespective of works:
So also David speaks of the blessedness of those to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works:
So also David pronounces a blessing on those to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works:
We see the same thing when David speaks of the blessing that comes to someone whom God calculates to be in the right apart from works:
As also Dovid HaMelech speaks of the me’ushar (blessedness) of the person whom Hashem reckons to be YITZDAK IM HASHEM (justified with G-d) without dependence on [zechusearning] ma’asim (works) [T.N. with merit (zechus) viewed as "pay" earned for "work" rendered‖see Ro 4:4]:
even as David declares the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness without works, saying,
So also David pronounces a blessing upon the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works:
So also David pronounces a blessing upon the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works:
just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
Remember the psalm where David speaks about the benefits that come to the person whom God credits with righteousness apart from works? He said,
Even as David also pronounces blessing on the man to whom God counts righteousness apart from works,
David also says that God blesses a man. God calls him a good man but not because he has kept the law.
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,]
even as David also doth speak of the happiness of the man to whom God doth reckon righteousness apart from works:
