Romans 4:4

Now when a workman gets his pay, it is not considered from the point of view of a favor but of an obligation;

But if it is by His unmerited favor, it is not at all conditioned on what they have done. If that were so, His favor would not be favor at all.

"For the kingdom of heaven is like an owner of an estate who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.

Why? Because they did not try through faith but through what they could do. They have stumbled over the stone that causes people to stumble,

Or who has ever advanced God anything to have Him pay him back?
