But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

However, to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.

Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

And David speaks likewise of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

“Blessed are they whose lawless acts are forgiven, whose sins are covered.

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.”
