5 However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness.

5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

5 But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners.

5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,

5 But people cannot do any work that will make them right with God. So they must trust in him, who makes even evil people right in his sight. Then God accepts their faith, and that makes them right with him.

5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.

5 but to him who does not work, but believes on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness.

5 However, when people don’t work but believe God, the one who approves ungodly people, their faith is regarded as the basis of God’s approval.

5 But to the one who does not work, but believes on Him who declares the ungodly to be righteous, his faith is credited for righteousness.

5 But to one who without works trusts him who justifies the ungodly, such faith is reckoned as righteousness.

5 But to the one who does not work, but who believes in the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited for righteousness,

5 But things are different with God. He makes evil people right with himself. If people trust in him, their faith is accepted even though they do not work. Their faith makes them right with God.

5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness,
