Romans 4:2-8
New American Standard Bible
2 For if Abraham was justified [a]by works, he has something to boast about; but (A)not [b]before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? “(B)Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 4 Now to the one who (C)works, the wages are not credited as a favor, but as what is due. 5 But to the one who does not work, but (D)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 “(E)Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven,
And whose sins have been covered.
8 (F)Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not (G)take into account.”
