"Paul quotes Ps 32:1-2 to buttress his reading of Genesis 15:6, showing again that justification takes place apart from circumcision and observance of Torah(the law). He is using a Jewish technique that links passages of Scripture together on the basis of common vocabulary. Note how the excerpts from Genesis and the Psalter both use the work "reckon." Psalm 32 celebrates divine forgiveness. As paul points out, the Psalmist does not restrict the blessing to the people of the Mosaic Covenant, i.e. to those who are circumcised(4:9) and trace their geneology back to Abraham (4:12). Forgiveness is an essential part of justification in Pauline theology (Acts 13:38-39)." Footnote on Romans 4:7-8 from the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible, Ignatius Press, Sna Francisco 2001 |
