Romans 4:1-3
American Standard Version
4 What then shall we say [a]that Abraham, [b]our forefather, hath found according to the flesh? 2 For if Abraham was justified [c]by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward God. 3 For what saith the scripture? [d]And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.
