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

^{7 Ref} Happy are those who have forgiveness for their wrongdoing, and whose sins are covered.

^{8 Ref} Happy is the man against whom no sin is recorded by the Lord.

^{9 Ref} Is this blessing, then, for the circumcision only, or in the same way for those who have not circumcision? for we say that the faith of Abraham was put to his account as righteousness.
