Romans 4:4
Now to him that worketh — All that the law requires, the reward is no favour, but an absolute debt. These two examples are selected and applied with the utmost judgment and propriety. Abraham was the most illustrious pattern of piety among the Jewish patriarchs. David was the most eminent of their kings. If then neither of these was justified by his own obedience, if they both obtained acceptance with God, not as upright beings who might claim it, but as sinful creatures who must implore it, the consequence is glaring It is such as must strike every attentive understanding, and must affect every individual person. |
Romans 4:4
(4) Now to him that (b) worketh is the reward not (c) reckoned of grace, but of debt.
(4) The first proof of the confirmation, taken from opposites: to him who deserves anything by his labour, the wages are not counted as favour, but as debt: but to him that has done nothing but believe in him who freely promises, faith is imputed.
(b) To him that has deserved anything from his work.
(c) Is not reckoned or given to him. |
Romans 9:32 Wherefore? Because [ they sought it] not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then [ is it] no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if [ it be] of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Romans 11:35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
Matthew 20:1- 16 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [ that is] an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. ... So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
