Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. (cf. Rom. iv.3) In like manner we also are justified by faith in God: for the just shall live by faith. Now

for Abraham was justified by faith: and for a righteous man the law is not made. In like manner we also are justified not by the law, but by faith, which is witnessed to in the law and in the prophets, whom the Word of God presents to us.
