Commentary on Romans, Book IV · §1

Abraham justified by faith, not works

If Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about — but not before God. Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.

Latin

Quid ergo dicemus invenisse Abraham? Si Abraham ex operibus iustificatus est, habet gloriam sed non apud Deum. Credidit Abraham Deo et reputatum est illi ad iustitiam.
