Romans 4:6-8
Even as David also describes the blessedness of the man, to whom God imputes righteousness without works, 7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

Certain important deviations, good to know
Monarchianism is an early Christian heresy that emerged in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD and sought to uphold the oneness of God (the “monarchy” of the Father) at the expense of the distinct persons of the Trinity.

Pelagianism. The essence of the Pelagian heresy lies in its denial of original sin and the belief that humans are born with a neutral nature, capable of achieving salvation through their own efforts without the need for divine grace. According to Pelagius, human beings have the ability to live morally and achieve righteousness on their own, without relying on God's grace for salvation.

4th Commandment

Exodus 20:8-11
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10. But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
