Romans 4:4

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

Money paid to workers isn't a gift. It is something they earn by working.

See the chapter Copy

Has anyone loaned something to the Lord that must be repaid?”

This happened because of God's undeserved kindness and not because of anything they have done. It could not have happened except for God's kindness.

But God treats us much better than we deserve, and because of Christ Jesus, he freely accepts us and sets us free from our sins.
