⁹ And when those men came who had gone to work at the eleventh hour, they were given every man a penny.

² And when he had made an agreement with the workmen for a penny a day, he sent them into his vine-garden.

⁶ And about the eleventh hour he went out and saw others doing nothing; and he says to them, Why are you here all the day doing nothing?

⁷ They say to him, Because no man has given us work. He says to them, Go in with the rest, into the vine-garden.

⁴⁰ But the other, protesting, said, Have you no fear of God? for you have a part in the same punishment,

⁴¹ And with reason; for we have the right reward of our acts, but this man has done nothing wrong.

⁴² And he said, Jesus, keep me in mind when you come in your kingdom.

⁴³ And he said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you will be with me in Paradise.

³ But what does it say in the holy Writings? And Abraham had faith in God, and it was put to his account as righteousness.

⁴ Now, the reward is credited to him who does works, not as of grace but as a debt.

⁵ But to him who without working has faith in him who gives righteousness to the evil-doer, his faith is put to his account as righteousness.

⁶ As David says that there is a blessing on the man to whose account God puts righteousness without works, saying,

²⁰ And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace:

²¹ That, as sin had power in death, so grace might have power through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

⁶ To the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely gave to us in the Loved One:

⁷ In whom we have salvation through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins, through the wealth of his grace,

⁸ Which he gave us in full measure in all wisdom and care;

⁸ Because by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God:

⁹ Not by works, so that no man may take glory to himself.

¹⁰ For by his act we were given existence in Christ Jesus to do those good works which God before made ready for us so that we might do them.

¹⁴ And the grace of our Lord was very great, with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁵ It is a true saying, in which all may put their faith, that Christ Jesus came into the world to give salvation to sinners, of whom I am the chief:

¹⁶ But for this reason I was given mercy, so that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might make clear all his mercy, as an example to those who in the future would have faith in him to eternal life.
