Romans 4:3-11
New American Standard Bible
3 For what does the Scripture say? “(A)Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 4 Now to the one who (B)works, the wages are not credited as a favor, but as what is due. 5 But to the one who does not work, but (C)believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness, 6 just as David also speaks of the blessing of the person to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
7 “(D)Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven,
And whose sins have been covered.
8 (E)Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not (F)take into account.”
9 Is this blessing then on [a](G)the circumcised, or on [b]the uncircumcised also? For (H)we say, “(I)Faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness.” 10 How then was it credited? While he was [c]circumcised, or [d]uncircumcised? Not while [e]circumcised, but while [f]uncircumcised; 11 and he (J)received the sign of circumcision, (K)a seal of the righteousness of the faith which [g]he had while uncircumcised, so that he might be (L)the father of (M)all who believe without being circumcised, that righteousness might be credited to them,
