" For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory ; but not before God. For what saith the scripture ? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. .Now to him that work- eth is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Even as Da\dd also describeth the bJessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works," Rom.... iv. 2 — 6. The apostle is here using a variety of unanswerable Digitized by VjOOQ IC 164 IMPUTED BiOHTEOUSNESS arguments against the doctrine I am now impleading. He argues, that if Abraham's faith had included works, or obedience in it, he would hare had whereof to glory. All works, all acts of obedience whatsoever, are formally our own, being done by ourselves, and therefore may be gloried of as such : but Abraham had not whereof to glory before God ; and therefore Abraham's faith did not include works of obedience in the nature of it, considering it as counted to him for righteousness.
