Romans 4:3-5, NLT

3For the Scriptures tell us, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.”*4:3 Gen 15:6.

4When people work, their wages are not a gift, but something they have earned. 5But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners.

The NLT is an excellent translation for serious Bible study because at every turn of the page the NLT provides illuminating renderings of passages that are difficult to understand in other versions.
