Romans 4:1 in context

The verses around it, from Romans 4.

1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, has discovered?

2 If Abraham was indeed justified by works, he had something to boast about, but not before God.

3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”

4 Now the wages of the worker are not credited as a gift, but as an obligation.

5 However, to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.
