Romans 4:2
| ← Romans 4:1 | Romans 4:2 (KJV) | Romans 4:3 → |
|---|---|---|
What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
|
For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
|
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
