Original text and translations

Latin.png Latin text

Deus est qui utrinque in vobis operatur,
et velle et perficere;
justus enim sua fide vivet.

Credidit Abraham Deo,
et reputatum est illi ad justitiam,
et amicus Dei appellatus est.

English.png English translation

It is God who works twofold in you,
both to will and to accomplish;
for the just shall live by his faith.

Abraham believed God,
and it was reputed to him as justice,
and he was called the friend of God.
