OET (OET-RV) It’s just like what David said about blessing a person who God declares as guiltless despite their actions:
OET-LV just_as also Dawid/(Dāvid) is_saying the blessing of_the person to_whom the god is_counting righteousness apart_from works:
SR-GNT καθάπερ καὶ Δαυὶδ λέγει τὸν μακαρισμὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ᾧ ὁ ˚Θεὸς λογίζεται δικαιοσύνην χωρὶς ἔργων: ‡
(kathaper kai Dawid legei ton makarismon tou anthrōpou hō ho ˚Theos logizetai dikaiosunaʸn ⱪōris ergōn:)
