## Romans 4:1-5 in Context (Verses 1–8 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/romans/4/1) What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
 
 [2 ](/kjv/romans/4/2) For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath *whereof* to glory; but not before God.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/romans/4/3) For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/romans/4/4) Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/romans/4/5) But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/romans/4/6) Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
 
 [7 ](/kjv/romans/4/7) *Saying*, Blessed *are* they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/romans/4/8) Blessed *is* the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
