‏ Romans 4:3

3 For what does Scripture say? “Abram believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.” ^{▼▼4:3 Reputed, etc: By God, who reputes nothing otherwise than it is. However, we may gather from this word, that when we are justified, our justification proceeds from God’s free grace and bounty; and not from any efficacy which any act of ours could have of its own nature, abstracting from God’s grace.(Challoner)}
