Romans 4:5 in Context — Romans 4

3 Car que dit l’Écriture? Abraham crut à Dieu, et cela lui fut imputé à justice.

4 Or, à celui qui fait une œuvre, le salaire est imputé, non comme une grâce, mais comme une chose due;

5 et à celui qui ne fait point d’œuvre, mais qui croit en celui qui justifie l’impie, sa foi lui est imputée à justice.

6 De même David exprime le bonheur de l’homme à qui Dieu impute la justice sans les œuvres:

7 Heureux ceux dont les iniquités sont pardonnées, Et dont les péchés sont couverts!
