Romans 4:8

In context

6David says the same when he speaks of the happiness of the person to whom God counts righteousness apart from works: 7“Happy are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, whose sins are covered over. 8Happy is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.” 9Is this happiness, then, for the circumcised only, or for the uncircumcised as well? We are saying that Abraham’s faith was counted to him as righteousness. 10And when was it counted? After he was circumcised, or before? Not after—before.
