Romans Chapter 4 Vs. 6

 

Abraham Justified by Faith

Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Rom 4:6

Even as David... Now the apostle proves his point by showing how David, a man under law, was justified by faith without the law and works (Rom. 4:6-7; Psm. 32:1-2).

The word imputeth means counteth.

Psm. 32:1-2 “Blessed [is he whose] transgression [is] forgiven, [whose] sin [is] covered.” “Blessed [is] the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit [there is] no guile.”

This fact about Abraham was also true of David, whose description of God’s gracious dealing with him Paul quoted from Psm. 32:1-2.
