But to him that works not, but believes on him that justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
All Commentaries on Romans 4:5 Go To Romans 4
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
God makes the ungodly man godly, in order that he might persevere in this godliness and righteousness. For a man is justified in order that he might be just, not so that he might think it is all right to go on sinning.
