Grace: Justification By, Opposed to That by Works

Now the wages of the worker are not credited as a gift, but as an obligation.

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

And if it is by grace, then it is no longer by works. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace.

You who are trying to be justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
