As scripture says: Not one of them is upright, not a single one, (Romans 3, 10)
All have turned away, all alike turned sour, not one of them does right, not a single one. (Romans 3, 12)
their speech is full of cursing and bitterness. (Romans 3, 14)
So what becomes of our boasts? There is no room for them. On what principle- that only actions count? No; that faith is what counts, (Romans 3, 27)
does not scripture say: Abraham put his faith in God and this was reckoned to him as uprightness? (Romans 4, 3)
Now, when someone works, the wages for this are not considered as a favour but as due; (Romans 4, 4)
as well as the ancestor of those of the circumcision who not only have their circumcision but who also follow our ancestor Abraham along the path of faith that he trod before he was circumcised. (Romans 4, 12)
That is why the promise is to faith, so that it comes as a free gift and is secure for all the descendants, not only those who rely on the Law but all those others who rely on the faith of Abraham, the ancestor of us all (Romans 4, 16)
(as scripture says: I have made you the father of many nations). Abraham is our father in the eyes of God, in whom he put his faith, and who brings the dead to life and calls into existence what does not yet exist. (Romans 4, 17)
Though there seemed no hope, he hoped and believed that he was to become father of many nations in fulfilment of the promise: Just so will your descendants be. (Romans 4, 18)
And the word 'reckoned' in scripture applies not only to him; (Romans 4, 23)
it is there for our sake too -- our faith, too, will be 'reckoned' (Romans 4, 24)
