Romans 4:5 in Context — Romans 4

3 Porque ¿qué dice la Escritura? Y creyó Abraham á Dios, y le fué atribuído á justicia.

4 Empero al que obra, no se le cuenta el salario por merced, sino por deuda.

5 Mas al que no obra, pero cree en aquél que justifica al impío, la fe le es contada por justicia.

6 Como también David dice ser bienaventurado el hombre al cual Dios atribuye justicia sin obras,

7 [Diciendo]: Bienaventurados aquellos cuyas iniquidades son perdonadas, y cuyos pecados son cubiertos.
